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.


When does the mass and or size of an object affect the time of its free fall?

if an object is lightr it will fall slower because gravity wont take it down as fast if it is heavier it will make the gravity pull it down faster


How Does the mass of an object affect the speed with which it falls?

The mass of an object does not affect the speed at which it falls. In a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass, a concept known as the equivalence principle. However, in real-world conditions, air resistance can affect the fall speed of objects with different masses, but to a very small extent.


What does the speed of a falling object depend on?

From my experience it would depend upon the initial velocity along with the mass of the object and how gravity will cause it to accelerate. Distance also plays a part in that the longer the object has to fall the faster it will fall. That is until it reaches terminal velocity or when the force of gravity equals the resistance force like air resistance.


The less mass a moving object has the?

its faster


Will an object go faster if you increase the mass?

No, increasing the mass of an object will not make it go faster. In fact, the more massive an object is, the more force is needed to accelerate it and the slower it will move.


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


If an object is in free fall what does it have?

Mass and inertia.


Who was the Greek philosopher who proposed that the speed at which an object falls is proportional to its mass?

Aristotle was the Greek philosopher who proposed that the speed at which an object falls is proportional to its mass. He believed that heavier objects would fall faster than lighter objects, which was later proven inaccurate by Galileo's experiments on free fall.


Do the ball fall faster than a lowest mass?

no?


Why do you fall faster than balloons?

a person would fall faster because we have more mass (weight) than the balloon.


Will a sky diver with a greater mass accelerate faster that a sky diver with less mass?

No, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass due to gravity, neglecting air resistance. The acceleration of gravity on an object is independent of its mass.
