Who found (discovered) that objects of different mass and weight fall at the same rate?
Who found (discovered) that objects of different mass and weight fall at the same rate
Do objects of the same mass but of different shape fall at the same rate?
in a vacuum, yes, all objects would fall at the same rate, but otherwise no due to air friction
Do heavy objects fall to the ground before light objects?
In the absence of air resistance, heavy objects and light objects fall to the ground at the same rate. This is because all objects experience the same acceleration due to gravity, regardless of their mass. However, factors like air resistance can affect the rate at which objects fall.
Why heavier objects fall faster than do lighter objects?
They don't. All objects fall at the same rate of speed because of weight.
Do objects that are the same size fall at the same rate?
In a vacuum, objects of different sizes fall at the same rate because they experience the same acceleration due to gravity. However, in the presence of air resistance, objects with larger surface areas experience more air resistance and fall slower than objects with smaller surface areas.
Why do different weighted objects fall at the same rate?
Different weighted objects fall at the same rate due to the constant acceleration of gravity acting on all objects regardless of their mass. This acceleration causes all objects to experience the same rate of falling, known as the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2 on Earth). Thus, in the absence of other forces like air resistance, objects of different weights will fall at the same rate in a vacuum.
How do all objects fall?
All objects fall towards the center of the Earth due to gravity. The rate at which objects fall is determined by their mass and the gravitational force acting upon them. In the absence of air resistance, all objects would fall at the same rate regardless of their mass.
Do the object of the same shape but different mass fall at the same rate?
in a vacuum, yes, all objects would fall at the same rate, but otherwise no due to air friction
Who found that all objects fall at the same rate of speed in a vacuum?
Galileo
Who preformed many experiments to measure the rate at which objects fall?
Galileo Galilei is credited with performing many experiments to measure the rate at which objects fall. He conducted these experiments by dropping objects of different weights from the leaning tower of Pisa to show that all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass.
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.
Why does a heavy object fall at the same rate as a light object in a vacuum?
In a vacuum, there is no air resistance to affect the rate at which objects fall. The acceleration due to gravity is the same for all objects regardless of their mass. Therefore, both a heavy object and a light object will fall at the same rate in a vacuum.
