Assume one object has twice the mass of another one. Earth will attract it with twice the force. But it will also have twice as much inertia - i.e., it will take twice as much force for the same acceleration.

∙ 13y agoThat depends on how exact you want to be. It is extremely close to being even, but the strength of gravity does vary by extremely slight amounts at different points on the earth's surface. This, of course, means that the mass of the earth does vary ever so slightly from place to place. You would need extremely sensitive instruments to detect this variation.

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
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.
How far does the earth fall if someone falls 2 meters?
the earth doesnt fall.
What makes comet to fall on earth?
earth's gravity
What is the process called in which air masses rise and fall distributing heat and moisture over the planet?
l
How do different masses fall in a vacuum?
In vacuum, all masses big and small fall with the same acceleration, and reach the same speed in the same amount of time.
Do objects that are the same size fall at the same rate?
Yes. And objects with different sizes, masses, and weights also fall the same.
How a convection cell might occur on earth?
Uneven heating of different air masses causes the bottom ones to heat up, rise, cool off, and fall in another location in a cyclic motion.
How objects fall on Earth and on the moon?
Objects fall faster to the earth, then compared to the moon, it is due to the different power of gravity on the the earth and moon.
Why does the earth have fall?
The Earth has different seasons because it orbits around the sun making it further away during different times of the year. Earth has fall as it moves further away from the suns energy.
Who is the famous scientist who reputed to have dropped a balls of different masses from the top of the tower op Pisa and timed their fall?
Galileo
When dropping objects with different masses which object will land first?
they fall at the same rate regardless of their mass Maryann Saba
What are the different season in earth?
Spring, Summer, Fall (Autumn), and Winter
Why is rain fall equally?

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
Do objects with different masses fall at the same rate?
if all of the forces affecting the objects are the same, then yes (i.e air resistance to a feather).
What was Aristotle's belief regarding falling objects with different masses?
More massive objects fall faster than less massive objects.
