Objects with three very different sizes and weights are dropped off a tower on the moon Which factor of the objects will determine which hits the ground first?
The lead ball and the feather would hit the surface at the same time because there is no atmosphere on the moon. Gravity pulls on both objects in such a way as to produce the same acceleration, so they will hit at the same time. On earth the problem is complicated by the presence of air, and that it exerts forces on the objects. The feather is affected by aerodynamic drag far more than the lead ball, and is thus slowed immensely in comparison.
What does an ash cloud do?
Ash clouds are produced when a volcano is erupting. Ash can be shot high into the sky, meaning that it can impact airplanes by causing decreased visibility or even causing engine failure. On the ground, ash can lead to breathing problems.

Why is the density of lead the same on the Moon as it is on Earth?
Density is based off mass and volume, not weight and volume. Weight is a measurement of gravity, and changes based on strong the pull of gravity is in the area. Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter in an object, and does not change based on the pull of gravity. Density is Mass/Volume. Volume is a measure of how much space an object occupies. The more condensed matter is, the higher its density.
What day was lead discovered?
it was discovered by a person that fou nd lead poisoning a while back.
What is the force that opposes the motion of objects in air?
It is air friction. An aeroplane flying into a headwind will use up much more fuel than an aeroplane flying with a tailwind. Air friction means that a feather would take much longer to reach the ground than a lead weight dropped from the same height. Yet, if the feather and the lead weight were to be dropped in a vacuum (not subjected to air resistance) they would both reach the ground at the same time.
Is 20kg lead in a vacuum heavier than 20kg feather in a vacuum?
No. Weight = mass x gravity, so for the same mass, you get the same weight.
Under what conditions would a lead weight and a feather fall at the same rate?
If they were dropped in a container from which the air had been removed.
What examples are size weight and shape?
Size: As small as a mouse As big as an elephant Weight as light as a feather as heavy as lead Shape twisted like a pretzel as flat as a pancake
What weight more a pound of lead or a pound of feather?
One, the correct term is "Which weighs more: a pound of lead or a pound of feathers?" Two, the answer is that they weigh exactly the same, because they both weigh a pound.
Light as a feather?
think we're talking perception here... eg which is the heaviest - a ton of feathers or a ton of lead ??....
How high is the building if the time it takes for a lead weight dropped from the top of the building to fall the last 1.5 m before hitting the ground is .109s?
That depends on the mass of the lead weight and the time it took to cover the rest of the fall.
What is feather of lead romeo and juliet?
Romeo says, "Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health!" He's playing with words, creating oxymorons for the fun of it. A "Feather of Lead" is something which is both light and heavy at the same time. It would have made a great name for a late-60s band, to go along with Led Zeppelin and Iron Butterfly.

Why does Romeo say I have a soul of lead so stakes me to the ground I cannot move?
Romeo says this because he feels heavy-hearted and burdened by his love for Juliet, feeling as if he is anchored to the ground by the weight of his emotions. His soul of lead symbolizes his inability to move forward or act freely due to the intensity of his feelings.
