Do objects accelarate as they fall?

Absolutely!

In fact, gravity is an acceleration associated with massive objects.

If you drop your pen off of your desk, it will accelerate at 9.8 meters per second per second until it hits the ground.

Can you do a science project on can to objects fall at the same set of speed?

yes. All objects accelarate torwards the earth at 9.8 m/s2 So you could test a golf ball and drop it with a bowling ball or something similar. It takes longer for the larger object to accelarate, while the smaller object accelarates faster but doesnt accelarate much after that so the technically they are balanced in the air. But you cant test a peice of paper and a basevball because the peice of paper would have a larger surface area and more friction would slow it down longer. But yes that is a valid science project.

How do objects fall?

Objects fall as a result of the downward force of gravity.


How do all objects fall?

All objects fall towards the center of the Earth due to gravity. The rate at which objects fall is determined by their mass and the gravitational force acting upon them. In the absence of air resistance, all objects would fall at the same rate regardless of their mass.


Why heavier objects fall faster than do lighter objects?

They don't. All objects fall at the same rate of speed because of weight.


Do heavy objects fall to the ground before light objects?

In the absence of air resistance, heavy objects and light objects fall to the ground at the same rate. This is because all objects experience the same acceleration due to gravity, regardless of their mass. However, factors like air resistance can affect the rate at which objects fall.


What causes car to accelarate when stoped?

Stored Energy


Does the distance between two objects effect its rate of fall?

If the two objects are not interacting, then the rate of fall would be unaffected.


Do all objets s fall?

No, not all objects fall. Only objects that are subject to gravity, like those on Earth's surface, will fall when not supported. Objects in space, for example, are in a state of free fall around a celestial body due to gravitational forces.


Why do unsupported objects fall to the ground?

Unsupported objects fall to the ground due to the force of gravity pulling them downwards. Gravity is a fundamental force that attracts objects with mass towards each other, causing unsupported objects to accelerate and eventually fall to the ground when released.


Do objects that fall toward Earth fall faster and faster?

Objects that fall towards Earth do not fall faster and faster. In a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate, regardless of their mass. This is known as the principle of universal gravitation and was first demonstrated by Galileo.
