If there is no air, the same exact time. But because its on earth, the less dense and less aerodynamic one will land slightly after. Acceleration is about -9.8 meters per second every second
If there was no air resistance and a feather and a penny were dropped from the same height they would both pick up speed by the same amount and they would hit the ground at the same speed and at the same time.
Interesting question. But when the object is at rest the potential energy of the object is 0, on the surface that is. When it is on a height h it's potential energy increase and when it is dropped from that height all that potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy just before hitting the ground. This extra force comes from this kinetic energy.
If they are dropped in a totally controlled manner then they would land in the same spot. However, if dropped by hand, there will be minor differences in the positions of the hand which will affect the outcomes.
Not really. Length is preferable, as height may be confused for the height the snake can raise itself above the ground under its own strength.
That sounds like an excellent science experiment! You should totally do that and measure the height in inches or centimeters with a yardstick.
A cannonball fired horizontally and one dropped from the height of the muzzle simultaneous with the shot will hit the ground at the same instant, provided only that the ground under the muzzle and the ground where the shot lands are at the same elevation, i.e. the shot was not fired off the edge of a cliff or into the side of a mountain. To solve this kind of problems, it often helps to separate the movement, or the speed, into vertical and horizontal components. In this case, the vertical component of the speed is the same.
When an object is dropped from a certain height, the time it takes to reach the ground is independent of the height (assuming no air resistance). Therefore, whether you drop the object from three times the initial height or the original height, it will still take the same time (T) to reach the ground.
The ball dropped from 4m height has more kinetic energy just before it hits the ground because it has a higher velocity due to falling from a greater height. Kinetic energy is directly proportional to both mass and the square of velocity, so the ball dropped from 4m height will have more kinetic energy than the one dropped from 2m height.
If dropped from the same height (a few meters), they would appear to hit the ground at the same time, according to the experiments of Galileo. However, this neglects air resistance on the basketball, which will slow it down more and cause it to hit the ground later (very slightly later). The baseball, which has a smaller area and therefore less air resistance, will hit the ground first.
If there was no air resistance and a feather and a penny were dropped from the same height they would both pick up speed by the same amount and they would hit the ground at the same speed and at the same time.
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.
Still accelerating til it hits earth. ====================================== The height from which she dropped the ball is irrelevant. In any case, the ball was most likely moving at the greatest speed just as it hit the ground. The answer to the question is: zero.
Discounting any friction with the air, they would both hit the ground at the same time.
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.
The higher the ball is dropped from, the higher it will bounce back. This is due to potential energy converting to kinetic energy upon impact with the ground, propelling the ball higher when dropped from greater heights. Ultimately, the bounce height depends on factors like gravity, air resistance, and the material of the ball.
