Why do snowflakes float in the air and don't fall faster than raindrops?
Because raindrops are round - snowflakes are flat. Being flat, they offer resistance to the air they're floating in - and thus fall slower.
Do hevey objects fall faster than light objects?
Not in a vacuum. All objects, regardless or mass, density, or whatever, fall with the same speed in a vacuum. Some objects may appear to fall more slowly than others (example, a flat piece of paper or a feather vs. a rock), but this is usually due to air resistance. All objects, when falling on earth, accelerate towards the ground at a rate of 9.8 meters/seconds squared.
Why did the flat sheet of paper fall at the same rate as the book?
If that's what actually happened, then you must have done the experiment either in a vacuum chamber or else on the moon, where there's no air. When gravity is the only thing around, all objects fall with the same acceleration, speed, and velocity, no matter what shape, size, or mass they have ... a feather and a bowling ball fall together. But when they have to fall through air, that's when heavy things fall faster.
What two spheres are pulled by the force of gravity?
EVERY two spheres are, no matter where they are, or how much or how little mass each one has, or what's in the space between them.
Why does a crumpled piece of paper fall faster than a flat piece of paper?
The ball presents less Surface Area to the air than a flat sheet. So, there is less air resistance when a thin piece of paper is crumpled into a ball.

Why are bowls round?
it is not flat because all of your food would fall out and so when you drink soup or water, it does not spill.
What would life be like without round objects?
Flat and 2 dimensional because the world would lack height and width .
How are worms different from flat worms?
round worms are round and flat worms are flat!

Did Columbus say the world was round or flat?
round his men were scared it was flat
Why do snails have the slimy bit on the bottom?
so that they can stick to flat objects and don't fall and they can also glide up stiff tall surfaces
Is the moon flat?
no, it is round, sphere. not flat.
Is Cinderella's stepmother flat or round?
Flat
How much faster does a crumpled paper fall than a flat sheet show a video?
Because there is less surface area on the crumbled piece of paper, there is less area upon which the force of friction (air resistance) may act. There is more surface area on the normal piece of paper, which allows friction to act over a greater area on the paper. More air resistance causes the flat piece to fall slower.
Is Romeo a round or flat character?
