The acceleration due to gracity of all objescts in free fall is the same Why then do some objects fall through the air at a different rate than others?
The acceleration due to gravity is the same, and in an idealized world all objects would fall at the same rate. But we do not live in an idealized world, there are other forces acting on objects as they fall. The most notable one is drag, the air resistance. This affects each object as it falls, giving them different rates of descent.

Why does acceleration differ in moon and earth?
everything in the universe attracts each other, the heavier and closer two things are, the more they attract each other, except this effect is much to small to be felt on everyday objects, and only becomes apparent on very large objects such as the moon and the earth. but the moon is much lighter than the earth, and has a smaller radius (the distance between the centre of the earth, and the object, making each planet have a different acceleration due to gravity, making acceleration different as objects are pulled to the earth/moon at different speeds.
On the moon name objects that would fall with the same acceleration?
On the moon, objects like a feather, a rock, and a hammer would fall with the same acceleration because there is no atmosphere to create air resistance that would affect their descent. This is known as the principle of equivalence, which states that in a vacuum, all objects experience the same acceleration due to gravity regardless of their mass.
Objects with three very different sizes weights dropped off a tower on the moon?
On the Moon, objects of different sizes and weights dropped from the same height will fall at the same rate due to the Moon's lack of atmosphere. This means that regardless of their mass or size, they will hit the lunar surface simultaneously, demonstrating Galileo's principle of uniform acceleration under gravity. This phenomenon occurs because gravitational acceleration on the Moon is about 1/6th that of Earth, but it affects all objects equally.
Formula for acceleration of all objects falling to the earth?
The acceleration of all objects falling to Earth due to gravity is approximately 9.81 m/s^2. This value remains constant regardless of the mass or size of the object.
Why is the gravitational accleration of any object near Earth is the same?
The gravitational acceleration of an object near Earth is the same because it depends only on the mass of the Earth and the distance from the center of the Earth. This means that all objects experience the same gravitational acceleration, regardless of their mass or composition.
Do objects have equal acceleration?
Not necessarily. Objects can have different masses or experiences different forces, resulting in different accelerations.
What is the force that prevents different objects from falling at the same rate?
acceleration
Why don't all objects fall to the earth at the same velocity even though the acceleration?
The acceleration is the same for all objects, as long as air resistance is insignificant. After a while, different objects will have different amount of air resistance. Also, even without air resistance, the speed depends not only on the acceleration, but also on how how long the objects are falling.
What is the reason you observe different rates of acceleration in objects due to the wind?
AHHH
Why does an object move if the action-reaction forces are equal?
Even though the action-reaction forces are equal in magnitude, they are acting on different objects which can have different masses. As a result, the acceleration of each object may be different. This difference in acceleration leads to the objects moving in different directions.
Why do different weighted objects fall at the same rate?
Different weighted objects fall at the same rate due to the constant acceleration of gravity acting on all objects regardless of their mass. This acceleration causes all objects to experience the same rate of falling, known as the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2 on Earth). Thus, in the absence of other forces like air resistance, objects of different weights will fall at the same rate in a vacuum.
How are acceleration and velocity alike and different from each other?
-- both are related to measurements of motion of objects -- acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes
Why objects of different masses falling in the moon accelerate at the same rate?
Objects of different masses accelerate at the same rate on the moon because the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is constant for all objects, regardless of their mass. This is because the force of gravity is proportional to the mass of the object, so the acceleration is the same for all objects.
The reason we observe different rates of acceleration in objects is due to wind?
The different rates of acceleration in objects are primarily influenced by factors like gravity, mass, and the surface characteristics of the object and the surface it is on. While wind resistance can affect the motion of objects, it is usually a minor factor compared to these other influences.
If the same force is applied to two different objects which one will have the smaller acceleration?
The object with the larger mass will have the smaller acceleration when the same force is applied to both objects. This is described by Newton's second law of motion, which states that acceleration is inversely proportional to mass when force is constant.
Is it possible for an objects velocity to be perpendicular to the objects acceleration?
no
If objects get faster with time the direction of the acceleration is?
The acceleration is positive.
