How Does the mass of an object affect the speed with which it falls?
The more mass it has, the faster it will fall and vice versa.
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.
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
What impacts kinetic energy more mass or velocity?
Mass because the bigger an object is the faster it will fall, and the smaller an object is the slower an object will fall.
The less mass a moving object has the?
its faster
Does a low mass object travel faster than a high mass object?
There's no connection. A truck can travel either faster OR slower than a turtle.
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.
Do the ball fall faster than a lowest mass?
no?
What is the effect of mass of object to speed of falling object to the earth?
If air resistance can be neglected, there is no effect. If there is air resistance, the general tendency is for more massive objects to fall faster. In places like the moon, where there is no air, a feather and a rock fall together.
Why do you fall faster than balloons?
a person would fall faster because we have more mass (weight) than the balloon.
What object falls faster a heavy object or a light object in a vacuum?
They both fall at the same rate. This is because they are both only acted upon by one force in the vacuum- gravitational acceleration. The mass, size or shape of the object do not influence the object's motion in a vacuum.
