A brick has a greater mass than a sponge has why is the acceleration due to the gravity the same for both objects?

The acceleration due to gravity does not depend on the mass. For example, if you have two objects, one of which has 10 times the mass of another, it will be attracted with 10 times the force; however, it will also have 10 times the inertia, so the acceleration will be the same.


A brick has greater mass then a sponge why is the acceleration due to gravity the same for both objects?

acceleration downwards has nothing to do with mass...gravity is a constant accelerated pull (9.81 m/s^2)....acceleration = distance/time The reason why a feather hits the ground after a brick is because of air molecules...it is more difficult for air molecules to stop an object with more mass


Why is the acceleration due to gravity the same for a brick and a sponge?

Because the acceleration depends on the gravitational force on the object. But the gravitational force on the object depends on its mass ... More mass = more force. Objects with less mass have less force on them, and objects with more mass have more force on them, and the force on each object is exactly enough so that each object winds up falling with the same acceleration.


What happens to an objects density when it obsorbs water?

If the object's original density is less than water (sponge, for example) - the density will increase. If the object's original density is greater than that of water (though I cannot think of anything that fits that category that is porous enough to absorb water), the density will decrease.


What fluids move through objects?

straw, sponge, balloon, sink, pool, washing machine, putting gas into car and way more.

What object is greater then 1 meter cube?

sponge i dont know :/


A sponge and a bar of soap occupy the same amount of space the soap is much more dense why?

The soap is more dense than the sponge because it has greater mass.


What drives the flow of water through a sponge?

the sponge absorbs water, and keeps it in. if you rotate or tilt it, the water will move because of gravity.


How would i measure the volume of a sponge?

You could first soak the sponge in water, then use the standard method of measuring irregular objects: fill a graduated cylinder with 100 mL of water, then drop in the wet sponge and see how much the water level rises.


If you had two objects of the same size wood and lead. which would displace more water?

neither a sponge would


Specific gravity of chloropene sponge rubber?

The density of the polymer will be very close to, usually a little under, 1, the density of the sponge will depend entirely upon how much polymer and how much space (air/bubbles) there is in it.

Which has a greater volume soap or sponge?

Depends on the size and the proportions - not the material. The biggest object has the biggest volume regardless of material.
