Will a feather or a wooden ball or a steel ball will fall faster in vacuum?
All will fall at the same speed in vacuum because there will be no air resistance. The gravity will pull all objects in the same force.
Which is faster to reach ground feather or ball in free fall?
In vacuum they reach ground exactly at the same time. In a medium other than vacuum the ball will reach ground first.
What affect would a vacuum have on falling objects?
All object fall at the same rate in a vacuum. If you drop a feather and a bowling ball at the same time in a vacuum, they would hit the ground at the same time.
Does the size of the ball effect how fast it falls?
Everything falls at the same speed. the only variable is drag. For instance a feather & a bowling ball would fall at the same speed in a vacuum, but not through the air.
True or false if you drop a feather and a bowling ball from a three story building at the same time the bowling ball hits the ground first?
In a vacuum, both will hit at the same time. The bowling ball will do so in normal atmosphere due to the friction of the air.
Will a feather or a wooden ball or a steel ball will fall faster in vacuum?
All will fall at the same speed in vacuum because there will be no air resistance. The gravity will pull all objects in the same force.
Which will fall faster a feather or ping pong ball if dropped in a vacuum?
Both will fall at the same time in vacuum because there is no resistance.
Which is faster to reach ground feather or ball in free fall?
In vacuum they reach ground exactly at the same time. In a medium other than vacuum the ball will reach ground first.

All object fall at the same rate in a vacuum. If you drop a feather and a bowling ball at the same time in a vacuum, they would hit the ground at the same time.
Why does a feather having a mass of 9 grams fall from a table to the floor slower than a 9 gram ping pong ball falling the same distance?
this is because of air resistance which increases with surface area of feather. however if there is no air resistance (only vacuum) both feather and ball will fall together.
Does the size of the ball effect how fast it falls?
Everything falls at the same speed. the only variable is drag. For instance a feather & a bowling ball would fall at the same speed in a vacuum, but not through the air.
How long would it take a feather to drop ten meters?
That depends on the weight and sise of the feather In a vacuum it would fall as fast as a canon ball. In the atmasphere friction through the air would slow it so sise and weight and shape comes into it.
True or false if you drop a feather and a bowling ball from a three story building at the same time the bowling ball hits the ground first?
In a vacuum, both will hit at the same time. The bowling ball will do so in normal atmosphere due to the friction of the air.
Will the bowling ball and piece of paper fall at the same rate?
If you stand at the top of the bowling alley with a feather in one hand and a bowling ball in the other and drop them at the same time, the bowling ball will hit the parking lot first because wind currents will cause the feather to drift slowly.
What is a steel ball?
A steel ball is a ball, or sphere, made of steel. An example would be a ball bearing, and the whole world runs on bearings, many of which are of the ball bearing variety.
Why does the feather fall more slowly than a hammer do?
On Earth, a feather falls more slowly than a hammer due to air resistance. The feather is impeded more by the air than the bowling ball is. In a vacuum, such as outer space, there is no air and thus no air resistance. In this environment, all objects fall at the same rate, regardless of their shape or mass.
Which will fall first on the earth surface in vacuum- a 1 kg steel ball or a 2 kg cotton ball?
In vacuum, if you drop them both at the same time from the same height, then they both accelerate at the same rate, they hit bottom at the same time with the same speed, and the mass of either one doesn't matter.
