Because there is no air resistance. The same happens on Earth, if you let things fall within a vacuum chamber. Basically, for a more massive object, there is a greater force pulling it down, but this is compensated by the fact that the more massive object also has a greater inertia. Newton's Second Law, solved for acceleration: a = F/m. If you double the mass, the force will also double, since the force (of the gravitational attraction) is mass x gravity.
What else can I help you with?
Will a bowling ball and a piece of paper fall at same rate if dropped near surface of the moon?
Yes, both the bowling ball and the paper will fall at the same rate near the surface of the moon due to the moon's weaker gravitational pull. In the absence of air resistance, all objects will fall at the same rate regardless of their mass.
Does stuff on the moon float?
Because the moon has very low gravity compared to Earth, objects do not float in the same way they do on Earth. Instead, everything on the moon, including astronauts and objects, experience a sensation of weightlessness and fall toward the moon's surface at the same rate.
How does the mass of an object affect the rate of its fall?
It won't affect the rate of fall, which is 9.8m/s2. If you drop a bowling ball and a crumpled ball of paper from the same height, they will land at the same time. The earth's gravity determines the rate of fall. During the Apollo 15 moon landing, a feather and a hammer were dropped from the same height and they landed at the same time. The moon's gravity determined their rate of fall. Refer to the related link to see the demonstration.
Why do objects fall the ground at the same rate?
When something falls from somwhere its because of gravity and gravity has an exact speed so everything falls at the same rate
Do objects fall at the same rate on a planet with no atmosphere?
No, because there is no air to slow the down. For deeper analysis, check youtube, hammer and feather experiment on the moon. They hit the ground at the same time on the moon because there is no atmosphere, but if you drop a hammer and a feather on earth the hammer, obviously, hits first.
What rock will fall first if it fell from the moon a N rock or a N rock?
If two identical rocks, labeled "N rock" and "N rock," fall from the Moon, they will fall at the same rate regardless of their labels. This is due to the uniform gravitational acceleration on the Moon, which is about 1/6th that of Earth. Therefore, both rocks will hit the surface simultaneously if released from the same height and under the same conditions.
What falls faster when dropped on the moon a hammer or a feather?
On the moon, both a hammer and a feather would fall at the same rate because there is no atmosphere to create air resistance. In a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass. This was famously demonstrated by astronaut David Scott during the Apollo 15 mission.
Why will the lead weight and the feather land on the ground at the same time on the moon?
In a vacuum, where air resistance does not exist, objects of different masses will fall at the same rate due to gravity. This is because all objects are subject to the same gravitational acceleration. On the moon, with no atmosphere to create air resistance, both the lead weight and the feather will experience the same gravitational pull and fall at the same rate, leading them to land on the ground simultaneously.
Why did the hammer and the feather fall at the same rate on the moon but o earth?
The hammer and the feather fell at the same rate on the Moon because there is no significant air resistance to slow down the feather, unlike on Earth where air creates drag. On Earth, the feather's lightweight and shape cause it to be affected more by air resistance compared to the hammer. This difference in air resistance leads to the hammer falling faster than the feather on Earth, while on the Moon, both objects fall at the same rate due to the lack of atmosphere.
Would two bowling balls hit the ground at the same time on the moon?
Yes, two bowling balls would hit the ground at the same time on the moon because the acceleration due to gravity is the same for all objects, regardless of mass. The moon's weaker gravity would cause the balls to fall more slowly than on Earth, but they would still hit the ground simultaneously if released at the same height and time.
Would the moon and the earth fall towards each other faster than a pebble and the earth because of their greater mass?
No, all objects in free fall due to gravity accelerate at the same rate regardless of their mass. This is described by the principle of equivalence in general relativity. So, both the moon and a pebble would fall towards Earth at the same rate.
Why does a bowling ball down a lane at a virtually constant speed?
A bowling ball and a piece of paper will fall at the same rate on the Moon.This is because gravity pulls at a constant rate. The force of gravity depends on the mass of the Moon, which is constant, and not on the mass of each object falling.On Earth, the piece of paper will fall much slower than the bowling ball because of air resistance. Because there is no air on the Moon, both objects will fall at the same rate.
