Does the speed of free fall affected by the density of the object?

No. When an object is in free fall it has a downward force (it's mass) and an opposite, upward force of air resistance.

What are aristotles three laws of motion?
* Nothing moves unless you push it. * Heavier things fall faster, proportional to their weight. * The speed of fall of a given object depends inversely on the density of what it is falling through.
Why does density affect distance?
less density means you will not be able to give the ball momentum, but to little causes the object to fall quickly
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.
Will density of a substance cause it to fall faster?
All objects fall at 32 feet per second per second, meaning that every second, they are falling 32 feet per second faster. Air resistance may have a minimal effect but the density of the object will not affect the speed.
Air resistance causes the speed of a falling object to?
Nearly all falling object are affected by the resistance of air. However some objects have a mass greater than the air can affect. There is also the case where air resistance equals that of gravity and the object will not fall any faster.

What will happen if object falls from great height through air of uniform density?
It will fall faster and faster for a while - until it eventually reaches a "terminal speed", at which air resistance and gravity are in balance. After that, it will continue falling at a constant speed.
What happens to air as you move up?
you did not give what frame of reference you are measuring this from. If you move up from a powered object in flight your air speed will fall off as air resistance acts as a brake on your ballistic trajectory from a detailed outside perspective there will be a fast fall in airspeed as you enter the airflow region around the object and then a slower fall as you become independent and leave the region affected by the moving object.

Is there a relationship between the mas of a moving ball and its speed while rolling down an inclined plane?
Mass does not affect the acceleration of an object due to gravity. Any object of any size or mass will fall at the same speed. A ball rolling down an inclined plane is accelerated by gravity, so its speed won't be affected by its mass at all.
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.
If an object is in free fall after each second how does the object fall?
The speed of an object in free fall near the earth's surface is always 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second morethan it was one second earlier.
What is free fall fall?
An object is in free fall only if its motion is subject to being both only affected by gravity and only moving up or down.
An object with a mass of 8 g is in free fall What is the speed of the object after it has fallen for 6 seconds?
59m/s
