What else can I help you with?
Does lighter objects fall down faster then heavier objects?
No lighter things do not fall faster than heavier things. In a vacuum they will fall at the same speed. Normally the heavier thing will fall down faster because of its weight. Sometimes the lighter thing falls faster depending on the air resistance.
Why do lighter objects fly slower than heavier objects?
they have less mass. heavier objects have a great mass so it gets pulled down faster..... by a little thing called......gravity!
Does weight determine terminal speed?
yes because the heavier it is the gravitational pull will be sronger so it will come down faster.
Why did salt evaporate faster in tap water?
it is heavier due to its faster speed coming down
Does light sink faster or does heavy sink faster?
In a fluid medium, objects sink based on their density relative to the surrounding medium. In general, heavier objects sink faster than lighter objects because they have a greater gravitational force pulling them down. Light itself does not sink as it is not a solid object, but rather a form of electromagnetic radiation.
Do all objects fall at the same speed down a slope?
no, some are heavier therefore fall faster. not! all objects fall at the same rate no matter what size, Galileo said that DUH! both are wrong... partially. Some objects have more air resistance than others. The more air resistance, the slower an object will fall to the ground. ;-) -Th
Why Parachutes fall slower if person or weight is heavier?
Heavier objects have greater gravitational force pulling them downward, which increases the air resistance force acting against the object, slowing down its fall. This results in a slower descent for heavier objects when a parachute is deployed.
Does drag always make objects faster?
No, drag actually slows the object down but thrust makes it go faster.
What things can sink down?
Objects that are heavier than water will sink down, such as metal objects or rocks. Additionally, liquids and gases can sink down into a denser medium, like oil sinking down in water or hot air sinking down in cooler air.
Do heavier objects roll down a hill faster than lighter ones?
Rolling is more complicated than falling, because rotational inertia is involved. Without that factor, in an ideal world this is the same as asking if a heavier object falls faster than a lighter one. The answer to that question (again, in an ideal world) is no. In the real world... it might, or it might not, it depends on the exact circumstances. There's no fundamental reason that it should if the objects have similar construction (i.e. moments of rotational inertia), but friction and wind resistance complicate things.
Why do some objects roll down faster than other objects?
The rate at which objects roll down a slope depends on their mass, shape, and surface area in contact with the slope. Objects with less mass, a more streamlined shape, and less friction with the surface will roll down faster due to lower resistance to motion.
Why does it take heavier objects longer to stop?
More mass means more inertia - more difficult to change the velocity. Newton's Second Law: force = mass x acceleration, means that for more mass, you need more force to get the same acceleration. Alternatively (if you save for acceleration), if you increase the mass, the same force will produce less acceleration. Note: It is the MASS of the object, not its WEIGHT, that is relevant here. On Earth, though, weight is proportional to the mass.
