Rolling is more complicated than falling, because rotational inertia is involved. Without that factor, in an ideal world this is the same as asking if a heavier object falls faster than a lighter one. The answer to that question (again, in an ideal world) is no.
In the real world... it might, or it might not, it depends on the exact circumstances. There's no fundamental reason that it should if the objects have similar construction (i.e. moments of rotational inertia), but friction and wind resistance complicate things.
What else can I help you with?
Why does a heavier person slide down a hill faster than a lighter person when on a snow tube?
because the heavier person has more initeria and therefore the forces that would slow the slider down i.e friction, wind resistance, whatever, have less effect on a heavier person that a lighter person
Why will go down the ramp faster a light object or a heavier one?
a lighter one because it doesn't take long for it to get going but, if you wanna know which one will go farther it would be the heavier one because it has more momentum.
Why do helium filled balloons float upwards but air filled balloons drop down?
bcoz helium is lighter than air
What are the forces around you?
Forces are pushes or pulls. They can start objects moving, they can stop,speed up, slow down, or change the direction of moving objects. They can lift things, or cause them to turn, bend or twist. They can also prevent motion; eg. a handbrake on a car stops it from rolling down the hill.
Why was the woodblock printing important?
woodblock printing is important because it was faster for people to copy down information than making copies from hand( i.e., writing down words vs stamping down pages)
Does lighter objects fall down faster then heavier objects?
No lighter things do not fall faster than heavier things. In a vacuum they will fall at the same speed. Normally the heavier thing will fall down faster because of its weight. Sometimes the lighter thing falls faster depending on the air resistance.
Why do lighter objects fly slower than heavier objects?
they have less mass. heavier objects have a great mass so it gets pulled down faster..... by a little thing called......gravity!
Do heavier objects come down faster?
It depends on their air resistance, in a vacuum NO.
Why does a heavier person slide down a hill faster than a lighter person when on a snow tube?
because the heavier person has more initeria and therefore the forces that would slow the slider down i.e friction, wind resistance, whatever, have less effect on a heavier person that a lighter person
Does light sink faster or does heavy sink faster?
In a fluid medium, objects sink based on their density relative to the surrounding medium. In general, heavier objects sink faster than lighter objects because they have a greater gravitational force pulling them down. Light itself does not sink as it is not a solid object, but rather a form of electromagnetic radiation.
How long in seconds would it take for an object to fall 120 meters?
depends on weight of object and wind strength.normally heavy objects will drop down faster than lighter objects.
Do all objects fall at the same speed down a slope?
no, some are heavier therefore fall faster. not! all objects fall at the same rate no matter what size, Galileo said that DUH! both are wrong... partially. Some objects have more air resistance than others. The more air resistance, the slower an object will fall to the ground. ;-) -Th
Why will go down the ramp faster a light object or a heavier one?
a lighter one because it doesn't take long for it to get going but, if you wanna know which one will go farther it would be the heavier one because it has more momentum.
Does a heavier toy car go faster than a lighter toy car?
If there's a slope down the faster one would be the heavy one. On a flat surface with no slope, the light one may start off much quicker; Although, the lighter one has a higher chance of flipping over.
Why lighter pendulum stop faster than the heavy one?
Lighter pendulums stop faster than heavy ones because they have less inertia, meaning they are easier to slow down. The movement of a pendulum is governed by its kinetic energy and potential energy, where the lighter pendulum has less energy overall to dissipate. This leads to a quicker damping of the oscillations in the lighter pendulum compared to the heavier one.
Why did salt evaporate faster in tap water?
it is heavier due to its faster speed coming down
Does a the mass of a ball affect how fast it rolls down a ramp?
Yes, the mass of a ball does affect how fast it rolls down a ramp. In general, a heavier ball will roll faster down a ramp compared to a lighter ball, assuming everything else is held constant. This is due to the increased gravitational force acting on the heavier ball as it moves downhill.
