When something falls from somwhere its because of gravity
and gravity has an exact speed so everything falls at the same rate
What else can I help you with?
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.
Do all objects fall to the Ground at the same rate?
They do if the only force acting on them is gravity. If there's any difference in the way two different objects fall, it's the effect of air resistance. If it were only up to gravity alone, then all objects would fall to the ground with the same acceleration. They would have the same speed after the same amount of time, and if they're dropped together, they would hit the ground at the same exact time.
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
Which one would touch the ground first in a vacumn a brick or a feather?
In a vacuum, both a brick and a feather would fall at the same rate and touch the ground at the same time because there is no air resistance to slow them down. This is because in a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their masses.
Why do two objects dropped at the same time strike the ground at the same time?
Two objects dropped at the same time strike the ground at the same time because they both experience the same acceleration due to gravity, regardless of their masses. This acceleration causes them to fall at the same rate, leading them to hit the ground simultaneously.
What statement describes what order they hit the ground and why?
All objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass. This is because the force of gravity acting on each object is the same, causing them to accelerate towards the ground at a constant rate of 9.81 m/s^2. Therefore, in the absence of air resistance, all objects will hit the ground at the same time.
Is it true an object that will hit the ground before an object that is thrown horizontally?
No, objects fall at the same rate regardless of their horizontal velocity. Both objects would hit the ground at the same time if dropped from the same height.
What happens to two objects with the same mass that fall at the same time?
If two objects have the same mass and are dropped from the same height at the same time in a vacuum (without air resistance), they will reach the ground at the same time. This is because all objects accelerate towards the ground at the same rate due to gravity.
What are some results about big and small objects and which reaches the ground first?
In free fall an object regardless of its mass will accelerate at 9.8 meters/second/second or 32 feet/second/second assuming that you are on earth in a frictionless environment. This means that any two objects regardless of their mass will fall to the ground at the same rate.
How does gravity affect objects falling at the same time?
Gravity affects all objects equally regardless of their mass, causing them to accelerate towards the ground at the same rate. This is described by the principle of equivalence, as stated in the theory of general relativity. Thus, objects of different masses will fall at the same rate when dropped from the same height in a vacuum.
Why will the lead weight and the feather land on the ground at the same time on the moon?
In a vacuum, where air resistance does not exist, objects of different masses will fall at the same rate due to gravity. This is because all objects are subject to the same gravitational acceleration. On the moon, with no atmosphere to create air resistance, both the lead weight and the feather will experience the same gravitational pull and fall at the same rate, leading them to land on the ground simultaneously.
