in a vacuum, yes, all objects would fall at the same rate, but otherwise no due to air friction

Do objects of the same mass of different shape fall at the same rate?

In the absence of air, yes they do. In air, they don't. As an example, consider a sailplane and a rock with equal mass.

Do all objects of same mass but of different shapes fall at the same time?

No, there is an air resistance which resists its motion. it depends on the shape and size of the object.


Will objects of different mass but the same size and shape fall at the same rate?

In the absence of any other force on them other than the force of gravity, all objects, regardless of their mass, size, shape, density, color, creed, or religious, political, or gender affiliation, fall with the same acceleration. That means that with equal initial velocities, their velocities are all the same after falling for equal times.


Do objects of different volumes but same mass fall at different rates or at same the same time?

In a vacuum they all fall at the same speed, but in air, air resistance slows them all. Some more than oyhers. Density has an effect, but so does shape.


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.


Do objects of the same mass of different shapes fall at the same rate?

Yes. Also, objects of different mass, whether or not they have the same shape. With normal Earth gravity, i.e., near the Earth's surface, they will accelerate at about 9.8 meters/second2. This assumes that air resistance can be neglected; once air resistance becomes significant, the acceleration will be less.

Why do objects have different mass?

Objects have different mass because they not weighted the same..


Do objects with the same mass but a different density fall at the same rate?

In vacuum, yes. Otherwise the object with a lower density will fall more slowly.


When dropping objects with different masses which object will land first?

they fall at the same rate regardless of their mass Maryann Saba
