Which will fall faster large or small raindrops?
The maximum speed that raindrops can fall is around 18mph, depending on their size. Larger drops fall faster than smaller drops, due to their greater mass.
Does heavy precipitation often fall along a cold front?
Yes It Does
What is a light fall of rain?
Drizzling.
What can cause a heavy rainfall?
a heavy rain fall is caused when clouds get thicker than they are as the water evoperates from the rivers and oceans for more days and get thicker,due to sun heat it gets heated and rain fall occurs
What initiates the fall of rain from a cloud?
Clouds are made up of really tiny water droplets. Once they build up to be heavy enough, they fall! That is what makes rain fall!
Aristotle said heavy objects will fall faster and Galileo said heavy and light objects will fall at the same acceleration?
Yes, that is correct.
Why do objects all fall at the same time when gravity is the only force acting?
-- Because that's the way gravity behaves. -- Because is would be ridiculous to think that heavy objects fall faster. Here's why: ==> Let's say that heavy objects fall faster and light objects fall slower. ==> Take a piece of sticky tape and stick a light object onto the back of a heavy object. Then drop them together off of a roof. ==> The light object tries to fall slower and holds back, and the heavy object tries to fall faster and pulls forward. So when they're stuck together, they fall at some in-between speed. ==> But wait! When they're stuck together they weigh more than the heavy object alone. So how can a stuck-together object that's heavier than the heavy object alone fall at a speed that's slower than the heavy object alone ? ! ? Isn't that ridiculous ? There's no way that heavy objects can fall faster than light objects.
Why would is it that two objects fall at the same rate?
The best way to answer that question is: Because that's the way gravity works. When you think about it, it's really the only way that makes sense. Let's assume that heavy things fall faster, and light things fall slower. Take a heavy thing and a light thing. Tie them together with 3 feet of string, and drop them from a high building. The light thing wants to fall slower, and it holds the heavy thing back. The heavy thing wants to fall faster, and it pulls the light thing ahead. Together, they fall at some speed faster than the light thing alone, but slower than the heavy thing alone. Bu that's crazy. What difference does it make whether they're tied together with string, stuffed in the same bag together, or hooked together with nuts and bolts ? Together, they're even heavier than the heavier thing, but we just said that they're falling slower than the heavier thing would fall alone. It doesn't add up. Heavier things don't fall faster.
Do heavy objects fall to the ground before light objects?
No, they fall at the same time.
Does a parachute fall quicker with a heavy or light weight?
To lift the parachute up people carry light weights in it. So if light weights are needed to lift the parachute up heavy weights will fall the parachute quicker.
Why do babies always fall?
Because they have such a heavy head, and light body, which causes them to fall forward
Surely an object that is heavy and aero-dynamic would fall faster?
If there is an atmosphere - yes. In a vacuum - no.
Why does a stone fall faster than a feather?
The difference is in the air resistance. Without air resistance, both will accelerate at the same rate. If there is air, in the case of the stone the ratio of surface area / weight is less than that of a feather. As a result, the stone will slow down less than the feather, and fall faster.
Will it fall slowly or quickly?
It will fall fast if it is heavy and slow if it is light because the gravitional force is pulling it down to earth
Use radical in a sentence?
the gravitional pull from the heavy object was making it fall to the ground faster and at a more radical speed
Which book falls the fastest a heavy book or a light book?
They fall at the exact same speed.
How do falling objects behave?
Falling objects behave in such a way that heavier objects will fall faster than the lighter ones. Try to drop a stone and a feather from the same height and at the same time, the stone will fall to the ground first.
