If two bodies of different mass fall from same height will they reach at the same time?
Yes - but only if you can ignore air resistance, that is, if the objects fall for a sufficiently short time, and have a sufficiently high mass, and sufficiently small surface area, so that air resistance becomes insignificant.Yes - but only if you can ignore air resistance, that is, if the objects fall for a sufficiently short time, and have a sufficiently high mass, and sufficiently small surface area, so that air resistance becomes insignificant.Yes - but only if you can ignore air resistance, that is, if the objects fall for a sufficiently short time, and have a sufficiently high mass, and sufficiently small surface area, so that air resistance becomes insignificant.Yes - but only if you can ignore air resistance, that is, if the objects fall for a sufficiently short time, and have a sufficiently high mass, and sufficiently small surface area, so that air resistance becomes insignificant.
Experiment to prove acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass?
Repeat Galileo's experiment: drop two objects of different weight, from a tall building. Don't make the objects too small, otherwise, air resistance will interfere with your experiments.Repeat Galileo's experiment: drop two objects of different weight, from a tall building.

Do falling objects have air resistance?
Yes falling objects do have air resistance. They have even more if they have a larger surface area.
Why big things have a bigger air resistance than small things?
You have a false premise. Not ALL big things have bigger air resistance than small things. Air resistance must also factor in the direction of movement and the surface area against which the air is impacting, i.e., the shape of the objects.
how do objects fall when there is no air resistance?
In the absence of air resistance (friction) objects will fall at the same speed. Hope this still helps :)

What is the force that opposes the motion of objects through air?
Air Resistance is the kinetic friction of the object's surface moving through the air. In aeronautical terms this is known as drag.
How does air resistance affect the way objects move?
well air resistance can make objects with a-lot of surface fall more slowly

How air resistance affect the acceleration of falling objects?
Air resistance causes friction and slows an object.
How do you know there is air resistance?
If you drop two objects that have congruent shapes, similar masses, but dissimilar densities, they fall at different rates. The difference is due to the air resistance (which is greater on the less dense object, it is larger).
What force slows objects moving through the air?
Air resistance
What is air resistance reduced by?
Air resistance is reduced by reducing the surface area of an object facing the air flow, making it more streamlined. Additionally, objects with smooth surfaces experience less air resistance compared to objects with rough surfaces. Increasing the velocity of the object can also help in reducing air resistance.
