In zero gravity, the mass of an object does not effect the distance an object travels at all unless there is a constent force acting upon it. However, if it is in contact with another object, and gravity is what keeps the 2 or more objects touching each other, then mass will effect the distance it travels because of friction.

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

How do you interpret how an object is moving from a distance time graph?

If the distance is not changing, the object is not moving. If the distance is increasing or decreasing linearly then the object is moving at a constant velocity. If the distance is increasing or decreasing parabolically then the object is being accelerated or decellerated.


An object travels a given distance at a speed of 5 m s If the object travels the same distance at a higher speed how will the time it takes the object to travel the distance be affected?

Light travels an infinite distance until it is absorbed by an object.


What can change distance an object travels?

The formula for the distance traveled (assuming a constant speed) is:distance = time x speed So, any of the two factors on the right side of the equation will affect the distance.
