Does everything fall the same speed?

Best Answer

In the absence of air, everything falls with the same acceleration, and reaches

the same speed in the same amount of time after being dropped. If things fall

through air, though, this isn't true.

Why don't objects fall to earth at the same velocity?

Air resistance of an object can slow its fall. If every object had the same resistance, everything would fall at the same speed.


Does the size of the ball effect how fast it falls?

Everything falls at the same speed. the only variable is drag. For instance a feather & a bowling ball would fall at the same speed in a vacuum, but not through the air.


Why do objects fall the ground at the same rate?

When something falls from somwhere its because of gravity and gravity has an exact speed so everything falls at the same rate


Why don't all objects fall to the earth at the same velocity even though the acceleration due to gravity always the same?

because of the differences in air resistance.

Who dropped weigts from the top of a tower to prove that ghravity affects everything equally?

Galileo Galilei is reported (see addendum) to have dropped a ten-pound weight and a one-pound weight off the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and proved that both fall at the same speed. Of course, a more general principle was being demonstrated, the fact that objects of any weight fall at the same speed (with the same acceleration, actually). Does this experiment fit the bill? Does it, in fact, prove that objects of any weight fall with the same speed or acceleration?

Because both You and the ball (and everything else in the cabin for that sake) are moving with the same speed as the car :)
