Assuming that each object is held with its center of gravity at the same height, and that each is dropped cleanly, with no rotation induced, the one whose lowest part is closest to the ground when dropped will hit first.
Aristotle's view was that heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones, based on his observation that a heavier object fell more quickly when dropped. This belief was later contradicted by Galileo's experiments, which showed that in the absence of air resistance, objects of different weights fall at the same rate.
They would land in the same order in which I dropped them. If I dropped them all at the same instant,then they would all land at the same instant. The same can be said for a truck, a cinder block, and a hair.
Both weights will hit the ground at the same time, as gravity accelerates all objects at the same rate regardless of their mass. This is known as the principle of equivalence.
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.
No. The gravitational force between any two objects depends on the product of the masses of both objects. Hint: That's why it's possible for two people on Earth to have different weights.
None of these matter. With no air resistance, they all hit the ground at the same time.
I believe that it is not possible to have the same mass and different weights. Unless you are on the moon with a different gravitational pull.
No, objects of different weights fall at the same rate in a vacuum due to gravity. This is known as the principle of equivalence, demonstrated by Galileo's famous experiment. However, in the presence of air resistance, heavier objects can overcome it better and fall slightly faster than lighter objects.
Gravitation is a force, But i believe the answer you want is gravity
Objects have different weights because weight is determined by the mass of the object and the acceleration due to gravity. Objects with more mass will have more weight because gravity pulls on them with a greater force. Different materials and shapes can also affect the weight of an object.
To determine the different weights Samantha can get by weighing the objects two at a time, we can find the sums of all possible pairs. The pairs and their corresponding weights are: (1+2), (1+3), (1+4), (1+5), (2+3), (2+4), (2+5), (3+4), (3+5), and (4+5). This results in the sums: 3kg, 4kg, 5kg, 6kg, 5kg, 6kg, 7kg, 7kg, 8kg, and 9kg. The unique weights are 3kg, 4kg, 5kg, 6kg, 7kg, 8kg, and 9kg, totaling 7 different weights.
Aristotle's view was that heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones, based on his observation that a heavier object fell more quickly when dropped. This belief was later contradicted by Galileo's experiments, which showed that in the absence of air resistance, objects of different weights fall at the same rate.
In a vacuum, they always land at the same time. In air, it's not so much the weight but the air resistance. If the shape and density are about the same, then the difference in weight doesn't make any difference.
it weights objects
no there was not
No. In a vacuum, the weight of an object will be the product their mass, times the gravity. In other words, objects with different masses will have different weights.
Yes - If they have the same weight. No - if they are different weights... imagine dropping a feather and a stone.
