This one probably isn't important if you need to ask, but if you don't recall your grade school science, or you need this answer because you were passing a note to the girl two seats over when the answer was given in class. Newton, supreme physicist, and the apple on his head story. Remember yet?
They fall at the same speed!
Unless there is enough atmosphere to slow one of the objects down. (i.e. resistance to air, or water, will slow an objects descent by gravity, so if the lighter object is larger and there is medium, such as air, that the two objects are falling through the heavier will hit the stopping point first but if the heavier object is large enough it will create drag on the atmosphere slowing itself and the smaller lighter object will land first. You can see this easily in an atmosphere of water.) All things except weight being equal they will both fall at terminal velocity for the atmosphere they are passing through.
What else can I help you with?
Who falls faster when wearing the same size parachute a heavy person or a light person or do they both fall at the same speed?
Both a heavy person and a light person will fall at the same speed when wearing the same size parachute. The rate at which an object falls is determined by gravity, not weight. The parachute helps regulate the descent rate for both individuals.
How does light influence the temperature of an object?
When light falls on an object, it can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted. The absorbed light energy increases the object's temperature by causing its molecules to move faster. Darker objects tend to absorb more light and heat up faster than lighter-colored objects. The temperature increase depends on factors such as the object's color, surface properties, and the intensity of the light.
Who'll travel faster heavy or light object?
Assuming equal conditions, a light object will generally travel faster than a heavy object due to having less mass to accelerate. This is consistent with Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.
What object falls faster a heavy object or a light object in a vacuum?
They both fall at the same rate. This is because they are both only acted upon by one force in the vacuum- gravitational acceleration. The mass, size or shape of the object do not influence the object's motion in a vacuum.
Which travels faster on an incline a heavy object or a light object?
In general, both heavy and light objects will accelerate at the same rate when moving down an incline due to gravity. However, the heavy object will have more inertia, so it may require more force to move initially but will have a stronger pull down the incline once moving.
Why doesn't a heavy object accelerate more than a light object when both are freely falling?
Here's the answer, and I love it. Let's assume that heavy objects fall fasterand light objects fall slower, just like everybody wants them to.Follow me now . . .-- Heavier objects fall faster. Lighter objects fall slower.-- Take a heavy object and a light object up to the roof of a tall building.Then take a piece of sticky tape, and stick the light object onto the backof the heavy one. Then walk carefully to the edge of the roof, and dropthe package over the side. As you do that, yell down "Look out below!"-- The heavier object normally falls faster, so it tries to pull the package ahead.The lighter object normally falls slower, so it tries to hold the package back. Soas they fight each other, the package falls at some middle speed, slower thanthe heavy object alone, and faster than the lighter object alone.-- But wait! They're taped together. How is that different from being glued together ?Or melted together ? Or welded together ? Or even inside the same skin ?-- Or even being the same single object ? They could just as well be a single object,one that weighs a little more than the original heavier object.-- But we just agreed that the package falls a little slower than the original heavier object,even though it's heavier than the original heavier object.-- Our orignal assumption . . . that a heavy object falls faster than a lght object . . . leads usdown the garden path to a ridiculous result.That assumption must be wrong.Don't ya just love it !

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.

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.
When reflecting light?
light is reflected when it falls on some object. every object has the ability to reflect light.
What happpens when light strikes a dark heavy object?
When light strikes a dark heavy object, the object absorbs more light because of its dark color and heavy mass. As a result, the object may heat up more than a lighter object, as it is transformed into thermal energy. The absorbed light energy is not reflected as much as it would be on a lighter object.
What will be the colour of a yellow object in a dark room while white light falls on it?
Black will be the color of a yellow object in a dark room while white light falls on it.
What will be the colour of a yellow object in a dark room while red light falls on it?
Green will be the color of a yellow object in a dark room while red light falls on it.
