Objects fall through air at a different rate due to the amount of air resistance. Feathers or dandelion "parachutes" fall at a much slower pace than coins. However there is an experiment called "The coin and the feather". A glass tube about 6cm in diameter has a penny and a penny placed inside before the air is evacuated using a vacuum pump. The tube is then sealed. If the tube is held vertically the coin and feather are both at the bottom. If the tube is then swiftly inverted, so that what was bottom becomes top, the coin and feather are seen to fall at the same rate. Unbelievable unless you actually see it.
The only reason falling objects don't fall at the same speed on Earth is the countering force of wind resistance. Without air, all objects would fall at the same rate, regardless of mass (ex. Galileo's ball experiments, as well as the hammer and feather experiment on the Moon).
Objects fall through the air at a different rate due to the difference in air resistance.
Things fall at different speed because they have different weight's things with more weight will fall quickly as the things with less weight will fall slowly.
"They've got different masses..." mass has no affect on the speed at which objects fall, objects fall at different speeds based on the drag created as they fall through air.
Because some objects are heavier or lighter than others so it's easier or harder for gravity to pull them down.
Air resistance. If there were no air all objects would fall at the same speed.
Air Friction.
Air resistance
Yes. And objects with different sizes, masses, and weights also fall the same.
In free fall in a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate of acceleration. In air, however, friction comes into play, so that various objects can fall at different rates.
if all of the forces affecting the objects are the same, then yes (i.e air resistance to a feather).
no, they fall the same acceleration ( one gravity ) neglecting air resistance; however they may reach different velocities with air resistance.
In vacuum, yes. Otherwise the object with a lower density will fall more slowly.
Who found (discovered) that objects of different mass and weight fall at the same rate
Some may be may be heavier and have more mass than others.
Yes, due to air resistance a rubber ball would fall faster that a sheet of paper. In a vacuum, all things would fall at the same rate.
Yes. And objects with different sizes, masses, and weights also fall the same.
in a vacuum, yes, all objects would fall at the same rate, but otherwise no due to air friction
of course ! Yes, due to the effects of air resistance. All falling objects experience the same acceleration from gravity, however.
The acceleration due to gravity is the same, and in an idealized world all objects would fall at the same rate. But we do not live in an idealized world, there are other forces acting on objects as they fall. The most notable one is drag, the air resistance. This affects each object as it falls, giving them different rates of descent.
If the two objects are not interacting, then the rate of fall would be unaffected.
