When does mass cause an object to fall faster?

Mass does not cause an object to fall faster.


Does a toy car fall faster than a pencil?

yes


What would fall faster on the moon a object with more mass or an object with less mass?

In the absence of air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass, as demonstrated by Galileo's experiment on Earth. Therefore, on the moon, an object with more mass would not fall faster than an object with less mass.


Is it true the bigger the object is the harder the object will fall?

not necessarily, due to wind resistance and the surface area of said object the object will not always fall as fast. ex. a human sky diving. if they are in a pencil dive, they will fall a lot faster then if they are in a spread eagle position. but due to its mass it will sure as hell hurt a lot. so yes and no


Surely an object that is heavy and aero-dynamic would fall faster?

If there is an atmosphere - yes. In a vacuum - no.


Which will fall faster a pen or a pencil?

The answer depends on where the pen and pencil will be dropped. If dropping them from the top of a building, both will begin free falling but the heavier object will land first. If dropping the items in a vacuum, meaning no air is present in the container, the items will fall at the same rate.which ever has more mass will fall fast as well. and it also depends on the materials the objects are made from.


What An object is free fall undergoes an increase in?

The speed of an object in free fall increases due to the acceleration of gravity, which causes the object to fall faster and faster until it reaches terminal velocity, at which point the force of air resistance balances the force of gravity.


Which falls faster a quarter or a pencil?

A quarter and and a pencils have little air friction and would not observed to fall at different velocity in normal classroom condition. It will be observed to fall to the ground at the same time.


Does the increase in weight cause an object to fall faster?

No, the increase in weight does not cause an object to fall faster. In a vacuum, objects of different weights fall at the same rate due to gravity. The rate at which an object falls is primarily determined by the force of gravity acting upon it, not its weight.


How does resistance affects an falling object?

It depends on the shape of the object. A spherical object will fall faster than a rectangular object. This is untrue if they are placed in a vacuum.


How long in seconds would it take for an object to fall 120 meters?

depends on weight of object and wind strength.normally heavy objects will drop down faster than lighter objects.


Is it conservation of mechanical energy when skydivers drop in the air at a constant rate and why?

No. In free fall, where mechanical energy is conserved, the falling object would go faster and faster. In this case, to fall at a constant speed, mechanical energy is lost, due to friction.
