Is it possible for light objects to fall first than heavy objects?

All objects will reach the ground when dropped or when they fall at approximately the exact same time except for paper.


Do heavy objects accelerates more than light ones?

No. The acceleration, speed, and time to hit the ground for two different objects are not affected by their mass, weight, density, color, or national origin.


Why do objects all fall at the same time when gravity is the only force acting?

-- Because that's the way gravity behaves. -- Because is would be ridiculous to think that heavy objects fall faster. Here's why: ==> Let's say that heavy objects fall faster and light objects fall slower. ==> Take a piece of sticky tape and stick a light object onto the back of a heavy object. Then drop them together off of a roof. ==> The light object tries to fall slower and holds back, and the heavy object tries to fall faster and pulls forward. So when they're stuck together, they fall at some in-between speed. ==> But wait! When they're stuck together they weigh more than the heavy object alone. So how can a stuck-together object that's heavier than the heavy object alone fall at a speed that's slower than the heavy object alone ? ! ? Isn't that ridiculous ? There's no way that heavy objects can fall faster than light objects.


Two objects one heavy and one light travel at one of two speeds Which will have the most inertia?

The one with the largest mass


Do heavy and light objects fall from the same distance at the same rate?

yes, they wil, yo can test it out with a marble and a bowling ball

Aristotle said heavy objects will fall faster and Galileo said heavy and light objects will fall at the same acceleration?

Yes, that is correct.


Galileo determined that all objects in free fall near the surface of the earth?

Because up to that time, everybody knew that heavy objects obviously fall fasterthan light objects do, and obviously hit the ground sooner than light objects do,except that everybody was wrong.


Do light weight objects spin in a bigger circle than heavy objects?

no heavy objects do test it your self tie a string to a piece of paper and a bouncy ball and spin them round.Which spins the furthest?


Will two objects with same shape and size but different mass with air resistance hit the ground at the same time?

No. Heavy mass ball will fall early than light weigh ball. Because gravity works early with heavy mass body.


Who discovered small or large objects heavy or light fall at the same speed?

Galileo wrote about that. Negating air resistance, a feather and a cannon ball, when released together, will arrive at the ground at the same instant.


Why falling leaves not directly fall to the ground?

They dont fall directly down because they are too light. Heavier objects do but light ones tend to float down purely because they are not heavy enough and the air is able to hold them back slightly.


Do trouts stay low to the ground or away from the ground in the water?

both light stays low and heavy low.

Why you are unable to see objects sometimes when switch light?

Because the light is un-switch before


What is the meaning of heavy?

The opposite of light. It refers to something that weighs more than other objects in relative terms; there is no specific weight that corresponds to heavy. It can also refer to something important, such as--> "That is heavy news!"
