All objects will reach the ground when dropped or when they fall at approximately the exact same time except for paper.

Do heavy objects fall to the ground before light objects?
No, they fall at the same time.
Why do objects all fall at the same time when gravity is the only force acting?
-- Because that's the way gravity behaves. -- Because is would be ridiculous to think that heavy objects fall faster. Here's why: ==> Let's say that heavy objects fall faster and light objects fall slower. ==> Take a piece of sticky tape and stick a light object onto the back of a heavy object. Then drop them together off of a roof. ==> The light object tries to fall slower and holds back, and the heavy object tries to fall faster and pulls forward. So when they're stuck together, they fall at some in-between speed. ==> But wait! When they're stuck together they weigh more than the heavy object alone. So how can a stuck-together object that's heavier than the heavy object alone fall at a speed that's slower than the heavy object alone ? ! ? Isn't that ridiculous ? There's no way that heavy objects can fall faster than light objects.
Two objects one heavy and one light travel at one of two speeds Which will have the most inertia?
The one with the largest mass
Do heavy and light objects fall from the same distance at the same rate?
yes, they wil, yo can test it out with a marble and a bowling ball
Do objects that have heavy weights always have a large volume?
no because something can be big but can be light . some thing small can be very hevy
Do heavy objects fall to the ground before light objects?
No, they fall at the same time.
Aristotle said heavy objects will fall faster and Galileo said heavy and light objects will fall at the same acceleration?
Yes, that is correct.
Do light weight objects spin in a bigger circle than heavy objects?
no heavy objects do test it your self tie a string to a piece of paper and a bouncy ball and spin them round.Which spins the furthest?
Who discovered that all objectsheavy or lightfall the same velocity?
Galileo Galilei was the first to explain that heavy and light objects would fall the same way in a vacuum. Keep in mind, objects do not fall with 'velocity,' but with 'acceleration.'
What stops first a heavy object or a light one?
A light object has less momentum than a heavy object. A light object would stop first.

Is it possible to view all objects with a monochromatic light wave?
* seen by the naked eye
What is the meaning of heavy?
The opposite of light. It refers to something that weighs more than other objects in relative terms; there is no specific weight that corresponds to heavy. It can also refer to something important, such as--> "That is heavy news!"
Is it possible for a plant to drown?
It depends on the plant if it is heavy it will sink but not drown if it is light it will float
Why a heavy object does not falle faster than a light object?
When heavy objects roll down something, fricition is involved. Friction is made by the rubbing of one thing against the other. Try rubbing your hands together reallly fast. Do your hands feel warm? Heavy objects have more friction, which slows down the heavy object. Lighter objects have less friction which cause it to run faster.
Objects that don't let light pass through them?
Why can't light pass through what? To first contributer, don't say that. Say light cannot pass through solid, opaque objects at times.
