What will hit the ground first a leaf or a feather?
leaf
If every object has the same acceleration why does a leaf fall slower than a rock?
air resistance, on the moon they did an experiment where they dropped a hammer and a feather at the same height and time and they hit the ground at the same time
Why a leaf take a longer time to reach to the ground than an apple?
Because they're both falling through air, and the leaf has to slip and slide throughthe air.If you drop a leaf and an apple in a tube with no air inside ... and also add a bowling ball,a parachute, a rock, and a feather if you want to ... they all fall at the same rate, andhit the bottom at the same time.
What would fall first a rock or a feather?
The mass is irrelevant, the only factor that effects how fast anything falls on earth is air resistance. The feathers obviously have more air resistance than the rocks and so the rocks will fall faster. If this was done in a vacuum however one gram of feathers would fall at the same rate as a tone of rocks.
Why don't all objects fall to the earth at the velocity even though the acceleration due to gravity always stays the same?
The air resistance for objects of different shapes causes a force which accounts for this. A leaf is a good example of an object with large surface area. A parachute - before and then after it is opened it another example. In a vacuum, such as on the Moon, all objects do fall at the same speed. One of the Apollo astronauts dropped a hammer and a feather at the same time; both reached surface together. Maybe you can find a YouTube showing this.
