Does lighter objects fall down faster then heavier objects?

No lighter things do not fall faster than heavier things. In a vacuum they will fall at the same speed. Normally the heavier thing will fall down faster because of its weight. Sometimes the lighter thing falls faster depending on the air resistance.


Why do heavier objects fall faster then lighter objects?

Heavier objects have more gravitational pull on them


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 heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects when on a parachute?

Assuming the parachutes are the same size, then yes.


Why does a heavier object fall with the same accelerate as a lighter object?

all objects have a terminal velocity once youu reach terminal velocity you can not fall any faster


Do heavier ojects fall faster than lighter ones?

Set aside air resistance (drag) and the answer is no. Objects fall at the same speed when accelerated by gravity when there is no air resistance.


Read the description of a science experiment below. Which part of the experiment is the second step of the scientific method (forming a hypothesis)?

she hopes to prove that heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones


Do heavier objects fall faster or slower than light one?

Without air resistance, heavier and lighter object fall at the same speed. More precisely, they accelerate at the same speed - near Earth's surface that would be 9.8 meters/second2. If air resistance is significant, heavier objects tend to have less air resistance, compared to their weight, so they will usually fall faster.


Do heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects in free fall?

false


how to test if parachutes fall faster or slower when the person is heavier?

.


How do falling objects behave?

Falling objects behave in such a way that heavier objects will fall faster than the lighter ones. Try to drop a stone and a feather from the same height and at the same time, the stone will fall to the ground first.


In freefall heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects?

False
