Heavy objects fall with the same acceleration as light objects, and reach the same speed
after falling for the same length of time. If there's any difference noted, it's the result of
air resistance, and the difference doesn't show up when there is no air. The reason is
because that's how gravity works. If it seems to you that it should not work this way,
then by all means, please explain why not.
Seems to us that when someone wishes some aspect of creation were different, the burden
should be his to explain why it should be different, and not the job of anyone else to justify
why it is as it is.
What else can I help you with?
Definion for desinty for a child to understand...?
The heaviness of each particle. For example, a rock is made of heavier particles than a piece of cloth so if you were to get the same quantity of each item and drop it, than the rock would hit the ground first since it is more dense. An improved version: Density is a measurement that describes how heavy an object is for a given volume. For example: an object has high density if it is heavy and has a small volume (e.g. gold), and an object has low density if it is light and has a large volume (e.g. balloon).
Why the object appear when you put the object in front of mirror?
light bounces off an object and on to the miorror surface where it is then reflected at the same wavelength as it was casted on to there with
The closer the light source the shadow is what?
The closer the light source the larger is the shadow. You can understand this effect using the paraxial aproximation of light theory. If you draw lines from the light source to the edges of an object, there is an angle (call it alpha) between the these lines and the orthonormal vector to the object. The shorter the distance between the light and the object, the higher is alpha (because the height of the object is always the same): tan(alpha) = (height of the object)/(distance between light and object) Of course the relationship between the height of the shadow and the angle is the same: tan(alpha) = (height of the shadow)/(distance to the wall in which the shadow is proyected) So, the higher the angle alpha (and closer the distance between light and object), the heigher is the shadow.
Is gold non luminous object?
sun (a luminous object) emits its own light and the moon ( a non luminous object ) reflects the light from the sun to earth that's how we can see the moon. The same way gold is a non luminous object.
The color of an opaque object is the same as the light that is?
...reflected off of it. For example, leaves appear green as their pigment (chlorophyll) only reflects the wavelength of green light.
Which would hit the ground first a heavy object or a light object?
If they don't have to plow through air on the way down, then yes. If they don't fall with the same acceleration and hit bottom at the same speed and the same time regardless of their weights, then it was air that interfered.
Why does a heavy object travel further than a light object with same force?
A heavy object travels further than a light object when acted upon by the same force because it has more inertia and requires more force to stop it. This means the heavy object will maintain its momentum and cover a longer distance before coming to a stop, compared to the lighter object.
Why does a heavy object fall at the same rate as a light object in a vacuum?
In a vacuum, there is no air resistance to affect the rate at which objects fall. The acceleration due to gravity is the same for all objects regardless of their mass. Therefore, both a heavy object and a light object will fall at the same rate in a vacuum.
What happens when light hits a dark heavy object?
When light hits a dark, heavy object, the object absorbs more light energy due to its dark color, which raises its temperature. The heavy nature of the object allows it to retain the absorbed heat for a longer time compared to lighter objects. This can result in the object becoming warmer compared to lighter-colored objects exposed to the same amount of light.
Which travels faster on an incline a heavy object or a light object?
In general, both heavy and light objects will accelerate at the same rate when moving down an incline due to gravity. However, the heavy object will have more inertia, so it may require more force to move initially but will have a stronger pull down the incline once moving.
Why do paper aeroplanes fly in the air?
paper aeroplanes flies in air because they less resist the air. For example- if you drop a heavy object and a paper from same height, the heavy object reaches first to ground and the paper will reach ground after the object. Similarly, paper plane flies for some time in air then it comes down.
How could you determine if it will take the same time for the lighter and heavier object to reach the ground when dropped at the same height in the same time?
If the objects are dropped at the same height in the same time, they will both experience the same acceleration due to gravity. This means they will have the same vertical velocity at any given time during the fall, and therefore both objects will reach the ground at the same time. This is assuming there are no other factors, such as air resistance, that would affect their fall.
Do heavy objects fall to the ground before light objects?
In the absence of air resistance, heavy objects and light objects fall to the ground at the same rate. This is because all objects experience the same acceleration due to gravity, regardless of their mass. However, factors like air resistance can affect the rate at which objects fall.
How does a heavy object have the same volume as a light object?
Volume is a measure of the amount of space an object takes up, regardless of its weight. Two objects with the same volume can have different weights depending on their density. A heavy object might have the same volume as a lighter object if it is made of a denser material.
What object falls faster a heavy object or a light object in a vacuum?
They both fall at the same rate. This is because they are both only acted upon by one force in the vacuum- gravitational acceleration. The mass, size or shape of the object do not influence the object's motion in a vacuum.
Who falls faster when wearing the same size parachute a heavy person or a light person or do they both fall at the same speed?
Both a heavy person and a light person will fall at the same speed when wearing the same size parachute. The rate at which an object falls is determined by gravity, not weight. The parachute helps regulate the descent rate for both individuals.
Will two objects with same shape and size but different mass with air resistance hit the ground at the same time?
No. Heavy mass ball will fall early than light weigh ball. Because gravity works early with heavy mass body.
