What else can I help you with?
What is the force that prevents different objects from falling at the same rate?
acceleration
What were the results of Galileo's experiment on falling objects?
Galileo's experiment on falling objects showed that objects of different weights fall at the same rate, disproving the common belief at the time that heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones.
Who used an inclined plane to study the movement of falling objects?
Galileo Galilei used an inclined plane to study the movement of falling objects. By rolling balls down the incline at different angles, he was able to observe and analyze the effect of gravity on the objects' acceleration.
How does gravity affect the veloctiy of falling objects?
The force of gravity will accelerate the falling objects towards itself.
How is gravity different for objects that freely fall down and those thrown upwards?
The gravity acting on a rising object and that on a falling object are the same when these objects are at the same height. What is different is that a rising object is decelerating by the force of gravity and the falling object is accelerating.
Who first tested the effect of gravity on falling objects?
Galileo Galilei was the first to conduct experiments on the effect of gravity on falling objects. He demonstrated that objects of different masses fall at the same rate in the absence of air resistance, challenging the common belief at the time.
Do objects that are falling in free fall have a constant acceleration?
Yes, objects falling in free fall have a constant acceleration due to gravity.
Do Two objects of different masses freely fall with same momentum?
No.....because we need both mass and velocity to find the momentum if velocity is same that is 9.8m/s that is of free falling bodies.........mass will effect the final result.
Why objects of different masses falling in the moon accelerate at the same rate?
Objects of different masses accelerate at the same rate on the moon because the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is constant for all objects, regardless of their mass. This is because the force of gravity is proportional to the mass of the object, so the acceleration is the same for all objects.
What experiment of Galileo's involved cannonballs?
Galileo's experiment to show that mass had little effect on the speed of falling objects involved two cannonballs of different sizes being dropped from a certain height. This showed that, in a vacuum at least, falling objects fall at the same speed no matter their mass.
What are protective measure to take from falling objects?
Run somewhere else than where the object is falling.
Why don't all objects fall to the earth at the same velocity even though the acceleration?
The acceleration is the same for all objects, as long as air resistance is insignificant. After a while, different objects will have different amount of air resistance. Also, even without air resistance, the speed depends not only on the acceleration, but also on how how long the objects are falling.
