What else can I help you with?
Does heavier objects fall faster that light ones?
That depends. 10 lbs. of bricks will fall at the same speed as 10 lbs. of feathers. Meanwhile, a cinderblock will fall far faster than a single feather. If two things are the same weight, they will usually fall at the same speed. If two things are different weights, they will fall at different speeds. ^ This only takes effect when wind resistance is NOT added.
When two objects of different masses are dropped at different positions will they fall at the same speed?
Yes, in the absence of air resistance, all objects near the surface of the earth when dropped will accelerate due to gravity at the same rate of 9.8 m/s^2. This means that they will fall at the same speed regardless of their mass or starting position. However, in the presence of air resistance, the speed at which they fall may vary.
Do things fall at the same speed?
Well it really depends on several factors that have to be just right in order for two objects to fall at the same speed or rate.The three main factors needed to calculate the speed at which two objects fall are Time(t) Velocity(v) and Rate of Acceleration.The formula used to calculate is:Acceleration= v-u/t (the v-u is change in velocity)The reason different objects accelerate the same (when you can ignore air resistance!) is because an object with more mass has more weight, but it also has more inertia.
Who said that objects fall at the same rate of speed and challenged the teachings of the church?
Galileo Galilei, an Italian scientist and astronomer, is credited with challenging the teachings of the church by proposing that objects fall at the same rate of speed regardless of their mass. This idea contradicted the Aristotelian view supported by the church at the time.
How do two objects fall at the same speed?
Yes. Neglecting the effects of air resistance, ALL objects fall with the same acceleration near the surface of the earth, meaning that any two objects dropped at the same time will have the same velocity after the same time interval.

Can any two object fall to earth at the same speed in they are in a vacuum even if one weighs a lot more than the other?
Yes. To be more precise, they will fall at the same acceleration.
Two masses fall 3 meters to the ground. If friction is neglected when do they reach the ground?
both masses have the same speed. The acceleration of objects in freefall is independent of mass, resulting in the same speed at the end of a fall. The momentum and energy are proportional to the mass.

Yes, in the absence of air resistance, all objects near the surface of the earth when dropped will accelerate due to gravity at the same rate of 9.8 m/s^2.

If you drop two things from atop a two-story building which one would fall faster?
The one with less air resistance. Galileo made a famous test at the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. He determined that two objects of different weights would both fall at the same speed, and land at the same time, if they were similar in size and shape. Classic physics employs this universal gravitational law.

What two things do you need to find speed?
speed = distance / time, that's the most basic formula that uses two things to get value for speed
If two objects with the same mass are dropped from outer space will they fall at the same time?
yes, outer space has no air, so u could drop a 100 pound weight and a 1000 pound weight at the same time and they would still fall at the same speed. (kewl, huh?) :)
How might you test the scientific law that two objects of different mass fall at the same speed?
You can conduct an experiment in a vacuum chamber where you drop objects of different mass and observe their rate of fall. By eliminating air resistance, you can test if both objects fall at the same speed due to gravity alone. Make sure to use sensitive measuring equipment to accurately measure the time it takes for each object to fall.
Who said all objects fall at the same rate of speed?
Galileo Galilei, an Italian physicist and astronomer, conducted experiments to show that objects of different masses fall at the same rate of speed when dropped from the same height. This principle is now known as the equivalence principle.
