Why does objects fall in different speeds?

all objects fall at the same speed because i like ponies


Do different shaped objects fall at different speeds with the same weight?

yes, they fall at different speeds because of friction due to air molecules. In a vacuum they would fall at the same speed.


What is the word that causes all objects to fall at different speeds?

In the absence of air, all objects fall with the same acceleration. That means that at the same time after the drop, all objects are moving at the same speed.


What do you use to see if all object fall at the same speed?

yes, all the objects fall at same speed if we neglect air resistence but they appear to be falling at different speeds due to air resistence.


What is the speed of most objects and what it depend on?

Different objects can have different speeds; also, the same object can have one speed now, and a different speed later.

Who found (discovered) that objects of different mass and weight fall at the same rate?

Who found (discovered) that objects of different mass and weight fall at the same rate


Do objects that are the same size fall at the same rate?

Yes. And objects with different sizes, masses, and weights also fall the same.


Does heavier objects fall faster that light ones?

That depends. 10 lbs. of bricks will fall at the same speed as 10 lbs. of feathers. Meanwhile, a cinderblock will fall far faster than a single feather. If two things are the same weight, they will usually fall at the same speed. If two things are different weights, they will fall at different speeds. ^ This only takes effect when wind resistance is NOT added.


Can objects be designed so that their shapes causes air to move different speeds above and below them?

It can


How objects fall on Earth and on the moon?

Objects fall faster to the earth, then compared to the moon, it is due to the different power of gravity on the the earth and moon.


Why do some objects fall at a different rate than others?

Objects fall through air at a different rate due to the amount of air resistance. Feathers or dandelion "parachutes" fall at a much slower pace than coins. However there is an experiment called "The coin and the feather". A glass tube about 6cm in diameter has a penny and a penny placed inside before the air is evacuated using a vacuum pump. The tube is then sealed. If the tube is held vertically the coin and feather are both at the bottom. If the tube is then swiftly inverted, so that what was bottom becomes top, the coin and feather are seen to fall at the same rate. Unbelievable unless you actually see it.
