Can the shadow of an object be bigger than the object itself?
Yes, especially when the sun is low.
Why do some objects roll down faster than other objects?
The mass and the trajectory of the object affect the speed at which the object will roll.
How does mass affects gravity?
Gravity gives an object more mass. Because it pushes the body downward towads the earth. That means if an object is put on a weighing machine it gives more mass than the actual weight. Mass is the weight of the object with gravitational force. Weight of the object is without the gravitational force.
Why does a shadow form behind an object when light shines on it?
Because a shadow forms behind an object when a light source shines on it. This happens because the object is solid and light can not travel through the solid object. The light that travels around the object reflects back up and the area that is not reflecting looks darker. That's why! Did this help you?
An objects density must be greater than what for the object to float?
An object's density must be less than the density of water,in order for the object to float.
Can the shadow of an object be bigger than the object itself?
Yes, especially when the sun is low.
What is the difference between a shadow of an object created by a small light source and the sun?
Shadow from light source always bigger than object but shadow from the sun is the same size as object. Great different is due to the distance of light source. Size of shadow is double at distance x 2 source to object. Shadow is always bigger than object. You will notice your shadow is bigger in light bulb or stadium spot light but the shadow from sun is the same size as object. This is due to great distance from sun to us (150 million km approximately) the double distance to see our shadow to be double is at 300 million km from the Sun. at merely 10 m or 100 km is almost no distinguishable different in shadow size to the object. We then presume shadow cause from sunlight is equal to the size of the object.
Do bigger objects orbit closer to the than smaller objects?
No. An object of just about any size can orbit at any distance.
What is bigger than a castle but lighter than a cloud?
Shadow.
Is a shadow translucent?
The shadow is not a solid 'black' colour. It can be the same colour as the object and the shadow allows you to see through it more than an opaque objects shadow. An opaque object would block the light but a translucent object would give a shadow that you could quite easily see through
When the sun is directly above you do you have a shadow?
No, when the sun is directly above us we don't have shadow. The shadow is under us. I disagree: Most people are bigger around at the hips than at the feet so you will have a shadow around your feet.
What is bigger than you but doesn't weight anything?
Shadow
Why do Objects get bigger when you multiply scale by A number greater than one?
why do objects get bigger when you multiply/scale by a number greater than 1
When is the umbra smaller than the object?
When the light source is bigger than the object.
Who is stronger Shadow or Static?
Shadow is stronger than any object in the world although Static is stronger than any object in the universe so Static is stronger
Are bigger objects always going to have more mass than smaller objects?
no
how much bigger is 1.5 than .77?
