You wouldn't notice the difference at a small level, balls dropped in air fall with the same acceleration as if in a vacuum - more or less. But when you start looking at things being dropped from a higher level, such as off buildings and planes, the air resistance comes into play, and increases as the speed increases. You get to a point where the force of the air resistance is the same as the acceleration - terminal velocity. If this was all in a vacuum, then things would carry on accelerating due to gravity or would at least not come accross this air resistance if were looking at other things accelerating.
What else can I help you with?
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 two things fall at the same speed?
A marble and a bowling ball fall at the same acceleration speed. Anything with the exact same shape falls at the same velocity. 10 meters/s/s
Which of these is constant for ALL types of electromagnetic radiation in a vacuum?
Answer = Velocity Velocity is the speed of light and, the speed of light, is a constant among Electromagnetic Radiation in the vacuum of space.
Why does a heavier object fall with the same accelerate as a lighter object?
In a vacuum or airless environment, all objects, regardless of weight, fall at the same rate due to gravity. This phenomenon is known as the equivalence principle, proposed in Einstein's theory of general relativity. The acceleration of an object due to gravity is constant and independent of its mass.
Why all objects travel at the same velocity?
All objects do not necessarily travel at the same velocity. The velocity of an object depends on factors such as its mass, the force acting on it, and any external influences like friction. In a vacuum, objects of different masses would fall at the same rate due to gravity acting uniformly on all objects.
In a vacuum all electromagnetic waves have?
In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves have equal velocity.
How do different masses fall in a vacuum?
In vacuum, all masses big and small fall with the same acceleration, and reach the same speed in the same amount of time.
Do some objects fall through the air at a different rate than others?
Yes, due to air resistance a rubber ball would fall faster that a sheet of paper. In a vacuum, all things would fall at the same rate.
How do you calculate the point that a dropped coffee filter hits its terminal velocity?
Terminal velocity on earth is static for all objects. A coffee filter being so light would have an effect on how much the friction slows it down, it would not however change its "terminal velocity" in a vacuum it would fall at the same rate as you or I. Approximately 120 MPH.
What light has the highest velocity in a vacuum a. red b. ultavilet c. violet d. blue e. green f. all travel at the same velocity?
f. all travel at the same velocity. In a vacuum, all colors of light travel at the same speed, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second. This speed is known as the speed of light.
Why do a feather and a hammer fall at the same speed in a vaccum?
In a vacuum, air resistance is eliminated, and all objects fall due to gravity alone. The acceleration due to gravity is the same for all objects regardless of their mass, so they fall at the same speed in a vacuum.
Who found that all objects fall at the same rate of speed in a vacuum?
Galileo
