What else can I help you with?
Does a frozen or regular tennis ball fall faster?
the only way they could fall at different rates is if one were smoother than the other. temperature has little effect on the weight of a solid object.
If you parachuted on the moon and earth which one will you fall faster on?
you will fall faster on the earth because earth has a higher gravity
Galileo determined that all objects in free fall near the surface of the earth?
Because up to that time, everybody knew that heavy objects obviously fall fasterthan light objects do, and obviously hit the ground sooner than light objects do,except that everybody was wrong.
Why does a heavy and a light object hit the ground at the same time?
Heavy objects fall with the same acceleration as light objects, and reach the same speedafter falling for the same length of time. If there's any difference noted, it's the result ofair resistance, and the difference doesn't show up when there is no air. The reason isbecause 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 burdenshould be his to explain why it should be different, and not the job of anyone else to justifywhy it is as it is.
Why should you change your hypothesis?
You should change your hypothesis if the results from your experiments do not match what your hypothesis predicted. For instance, you make a hypothesis that a feather will fall at the same speed of a bowling ball. You drop both at the same time a number of times. You see that every time the bowling ball falls at a faster speed than the feather. You would have to change your hypothesis since it doesn't match your results. Your new hypothesis would be that a feather falls at a slower rate than a bowling ball.
Does a parachute fall quicker with a heavy or light weight?
A heavy weight will cause the parachute to fall at a faster rate than a light weight due to gravity's pull. The air resistance provided by the parachute will slow down the descent of both heavy and light weights.
Do the ball fall faster than a lowest mass?
no?
Which can fall faster a pillow or a soccer ball?
a piece of pie
Do weighted balls affect distance?
yes simply because the weighted ball is so heavy that when u through a heavy item in to the air gravity kicks in and forces the ball in a downward position makeing it fall at a faster pace and go a shorter distace when thrown in the air.
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.
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.
Do heavy and light objects fall from the same distance at the same rate?
Yes, in the absence of air resistance, heavy and light objects will fall at the same rate regardless of their mass. This is known as the principle of equivalence and was famously demonstrated by Galileo in the 16th century.
The heavier a ball is the faster it fall and the faster it will roll down a ramp?
Yes, that is true because of kinetic energy, If something is heavy and you roll it down fast, then kinetic energy builds up.All other things being equal the mass of the ball has no effect on its acceleration. A fact discovered by Galileo.
Why are bowling balls heavy?
So the ball can pick up more speed. For example, if you drop a feather on the ground, it takes a longer time to fall than a heavier object, such as a notepad. A bowling ball is heavier to gain speed faster.
Will a lighter ball fall faster than a heavier ball?
No, in the absence of air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their weight due to the acceleration of gravity. This was famously demonstrated by Galileo with his experiments involving balls of different weights. Thus, a lighter ball will not fall faster than a heavier ball in a vacuum.
What ball will fall to the ground faster basketball or soccer ball?
weight doesnt matter, the bigger one, which has the higher resistance will fall a tiny bit slower
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.
