When the same force is applied to two objects of different masses what happens?

The masses accelerate, at rates that are inversely proportional to their masses.
You can get a general sense of this effect by pushing on a grape and a school bus
with the same force.

∙ 13y agoTheir respective accelerations will be inversely proportional to their respective masses.
Note:
It's not possible to apply the "same force" to two different masses, but it's possible
to apply equal forces to them.

If two solids have the same masses but different volumes they have?
If two solids have the same masses but different volumes they have different densities.
What happens when identical objects are dropped on planets with different gravitational conditions?
Without the interference of air or any other force, they should fall at the same speed. All objects accelerate at the same rate regarding their masses. To conclude, If this was made in a vacuum they should fall at the same speed but in different conditions it may have different results due to air resistance.
Why does Newtonian mechanics work for objects with large masses?
Those were the objects the mechanics were developed for.
What must be absent for two objects of drastically different masses to fall at the exact same speed if they rely only on gravity?
air resistance
Could two objects with the same volume have different masses?
Ceratinly. It depends on their densities.
What happens when 2 objects collide and have different masses?
it depends what two elements are colliding
What happens when two objects having different temperatures come in contact with each other?
Air masses
What happens when the masses of two objects increase?
they get hevier
Why different objects have different masses?
Objects have different mass because they not weighted the same..
How is it possible for objects to have the same volume but different masses?
Their masses are different. (Mass = density * volume)
If two objects have different masses they also would have different?
no
What happens when two objects with different masses are dropped under the same gravitational conditions?
They'll both hit the ground at the same time.
What happens to gravity when one object is larger than the other?
The force of gravity between two objects depends on the product of the two masses and the distance between them. The force has nothing to do with how similar or different the objects are.
What happens in a vacuum between two objects of different masses?
There will be a gravitational force of attraction between them, but this would be the same in a vacuum as it would be in any other place.
Can two objects with the same volume have different masses if so why?
Yes they can, if they have different densities.
Why do 2 objects of different masses dropped from the same height hit the ground at the same time?
Most likely because they're the same weight. Objects can have completely different masses and have the same weight.
One of the factors affecting gravitational attraction between objects?
The masses of the different objects The distance between them
