How does an object affect its accelration during free fall?
Without propellers, jets, or a parachute, an object can't to anything to affect its acceleration when it's falling. "Free fall" means moving under the influence of gravity only, with not even any air resistance. In that situation, on or near the surface of the Earth, acceleration is constant, regardless of the size, shape, mass, weight, or gender of the falling object. That number is 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2 ... known as the acceleration of gravity on Earth.
How does size affect free falling?
In the absence of air, size has no effect whatsoever. Where the fall is through air (or any other fluid), then it's slowed by both shape and size.
Why doesn't changing an object's shape or size affect it's density?
No, size doesn't affect an object's shape because it's the same unit and material.
How does the surface area of an object affect the free-fall time?
Aerodynamic drag, depends on size, surface texture and shape. The force behind it = mass * acceleration due to gravity
Near earth's surface an objects free fall acceleration increases as its do weight have anything to do with acceleration?
Near earth's surface one object's free-fall acceleration is the same as every other object'sfree-fall acceleration. The number is 9.8 meters (32.1 feet) per second2.Weight, mass, size, volume, density, age, color, or cost have nothing to do with free-fall acceleration.If an object falls with a smaller acceleration, it's only because air has gotten in the way, and the objectis not in 'free' fall.
When does the mass and or size of an object affect the time of its free fall?
if an object is lightr it will fall slower because gravity wont take it down as fast if it is heavier it will make the gravity pull it down faster

What happens if a large object and small object fall into free fall and what is their acceleration?
In a vacuum, i.e. space, both objects would accelerate at the same rate. If the object they were attracted to was the same size as our planet the acceleration would be 9.81 m/s squared. In an atmosphere the acceleration would be inconsistent and based on air resistance.
What affects was the size of a shadow?
The size of a shadow depends on, the angle that the light source is hitting the object and the size of the object. In some cases, the amount of light can also affect the size of a shadow.
Does weight size or texture affect whether or not the object is attracted to a magnet?
NO!
How do the velocities of unbalanced weights compared?
When dropped the mass of an object does not affect the rate at which it falls. The size and shape may affect the wind resistance which affects falling velocity but heavier objects will not fall faster than lighter objects with all other variables constant.
Does the length of a vibrating object affect the sound?
yes. anything that has to do with size or density does.
What things might affect the size and position of a shadow?
The sun when it movesThe size of the object and the position and angle of the sun.
