What else can I help you with?
What would happen if your in space with no atmosphere and you dropped a feather and a hammer?
They would both float if you had no gravity.
What would happen if you dropped a hammer and a feather here on earth?
The hammer would fall faster than the feather due to gravity, regardless of air resistance. In the absence of air resistance, both would hit the ground at the same time in a vacuum, as demonstrated in a vacuum chamber experiment on the Moon by astronaut David Scott in 1971.
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.
What will strike the surface of the moon first a hammer or a feather?
Answer 1:Both will strike at the same time. Gravity affects the descent of all things equally.On Earth, it would be the hammer. But that's because the feather has properties that will make it waft up due to air currents.There is no air on the moon.Answer 2:If a hammer and a feather are dropped simultaneously from a height on the moon they will hit the ground at the same instant.Leonardo DaVinci did this experiment with different weight iron balls on Earth to prove that objects fall at the same rate. He dropped them of the leaning Tower of Pisa.The reason a feather takes longer on Earth is because of the resistance of the air. In a vacuum everything falls at the same rate.Answer 3:"Both will hit the moon at the same time"This may not be absolutely true since every object has its own gravity which is greater if its mass is greater. So the hammer has a gravity much greater than that of the feather. Therefore the combined gravity of the hammer and that of the moon (which pulls the hammer and moon towards each other) is greater than that of the feather and the moon.As such the hammer should collide with the moon marginally earlier than that between the feather and the moon, though this difference is so minute that we assume that the collisions occur simultaneously.However, if the hammer and feather are dropped together, then as the hammer's gravity pulls the moon towards itself, it also pull the moon towards the feather and as such the lucky feather may get a free ride and hits the moon at the same time as the hammer.But even with this help, the feather will still take a slightly longer time to collide with the moon as the gravity from the hammer will cause the flight path of the feather to curve towards the hammer and as such takes a longer path and hence a longer time to hit the moon.To be fair, the experiment should be done dropping the feather first, then the hammer and then see the different times taken.All the above are valid only on the assumption that the centre of gravity is the part that hits the moon but since this is not true, we have to take into account the part of the hammer or feather which is nearest to the moon before the two objects were released !So, the real answer is that there is not enough data for us to know which will hit the moon first !
If you dropped a hammer and a feather on the moon at the same time which would hit the ground first?
Both the hammer and the feather would hit the ground at the same time on the moon because there is no atmosphere to create air resistance, allowing objects to fall at the same rate regardless of their mass.
If two object of different density are dropped simultaneously which one will hit the ground first?
as done in Galileo's experiment when he dropped a large rock and a feather from a tall tower both hit the ground at the same moment when dropped from the same height.
What will hit the ground first a leaf or a feather?
Ignoring air resistance, both a leaf and a feather will hit the ground at the same time when dropped simultaneously, regardless of their weight. This is due to the gravitational acceleration acting equally on both objects.
Which object, a feather or a hammer, hits the ground first when dropped from the same height?
Both the feather and the hammer will hit the ground at the same time when dropped from the same height in a vacuum. This is due to the principle of gravity, which accelerates all objects at the same rate regardless of their mass.
Would feather and a nail reach the ground at the same time?
No, a feather and a nail would not reach the ground at the same time if dropped at the same height in a vacuum. This is because the feather experiences more air resistance, slowing its fall compared to the nail which falls faster due to its higher mass.
A cricket ball and football are dropped simultaneously from the top of Qutub Minar then what happens?
They would hit the ground at the same time, Galileo dropped to balls with different masses and they both hit the ground at the exact same time.
On the Moon if a basketball and a feather are dropped from the same height about the ground which one hits first?
both reaches the ground at the same time because in the moon there occurs free fall.
A marble a textbook and a flaming stick are simultaneously dropped from a height of 10 feet if air resistance upon the falling objects is small enough that it can be neglected which will hit first?
All objects dropped from the same height will hit the ground at the same time, regardless of their mass or shape, as long as air resistance is negligible. Thus, the marble, textbook, and flaming stick will hit the ground simultaneously.
What would happen if you dropped a feather on the moon?
If you drop a feather on the moon, it will fall from your hand with an acceleration of 1.62 meters (5.32 feet) per second2, and never a ripple or a flutter. If you drop the feather and a stone at the same time, they hit the ground on the moon at the same time.
A cricket and a football are dropped simultaneously from the top of Qutub Minar what will be the outcome?
The football will hit the ground and probably stay there. The cricket ball will be caught before it hits the ground and used enthusiastically by the grateful kiddies.
Why do two objects dropped at the same time strike the ground at the same time?
Two objects dropped at the same time strike the ground at the same time because they both experience the same acceleration due to gravity, regardless of their masses. This acceleration causes them to fall at the same rate, leading them to hit the ground simultaneously.
What would happen if your in space with no atmosphere and you dropped a feather and a hammer?
They would both float if you had no gravity.
Why does a penny fall faster than a feather is it because gravity acts less on a feather?
Purely air resistance, the feather floats on the air. The mass is irrelevant. If a penny was dropped at the same time as a brick (ignoring wind resistance) both would hit the ground at the same time. Look up Galileo's tower of Pisa experiment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo%27s_Leaning_Tower_of_Pisa_experiment This also includes a video of a feather and a hammer being dropped on the moon (where there is no air). Both hit the ground together.
