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.
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
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.
a force is something that you apply to an object- it can move-change shape-change direction-slow it down-make it faster
Friction does not speed up an object; it creates drag and slows it down.
The air will cool down, while the other object gets hotter.
The difficulty of slowing down or stopping an object depends on factors like the object's mass, speed, and the amount of force applied. Generally, it can be harder to slow down or stop an object that is heavier or moving faster.
if an object is lightr it will fall slower because gravity wont take it down as fast if it is heavier it will make the gravity pull it down faster
Here's the answer, and I love it. Let's assume that heavy objects fall fasterand light objects fall slower, just like everybody wants them to.Follow me now . . .-- Heavier objects fall faster. Lighter objects fall slower.-- Take a heavy object and a light object up to the roof of a tall building.Then take a piece of sticky tape, and stick the light object onto the backof the heavy one. Then walk carefully to the edge of the roof, and dropthe package over the side. As you do that, yell down "Look out below!"-- The heavier object normally falls faster, so it tries to pull the package ahead.The lighter object normally falls slower, so it tries to hold the package back. Soas they fight each other, the package falls at some middle speed, slower thanthe heavy object alone, and faster than the lighter object alone.-- But wait! They're taped together. How is that different from being glued together ?Or melted together ? Or welded together ? Or even inside the same skin ?-- Or even being the same single object ? They could just as well be a single object,one that weighs a little more than the original heavier object.-- But we just agreed that the package falls a little slower than the original heavier object,even though it's heavier than the original heavier object.-- Our orignal assumption . . . that a heavy object falls faster than a lght object . . . leads usdown the garden path to a ridiculous result.That assumption must be wrong.Don't ya just love it !
it is heavier due to its faster speed coming down
because a heavier person has more inertia, and therefore the forces that work to slow the person down, i.e. friction, wind resistance, whatever, will have less effect on an object with more inertia than less inertia
It depends on their air resistance, in a vacuum NO.
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.
The weight of an object affects its ability to slow down because a heavier object has more inertia, making it harder to stop. This means that more force is needed to slow down a heavier object compared to a lighter one. Additionally, factors such as friction and air resistance also play a role in slowing down an object.
A little. Momentum is mass times velocity. The more momentum and object has the harder it is to stop. So the more momentum a bobsled has the more effective it will be against the forces trying to slow it down such as friction, wind resistance, drag, etc. However, this does assume that the bobsled team can get the heavier sled up to the same speed as a lighter one.
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.
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.
Well... Yes and no. If there were no atmosphere, it would not matter; both a heavy and a light object would go the same distance. However; we have atmosphere, which causes drag, so a heavier object would have more momentum to push through the drag, whereas a lighter object would slow down faster - resulting in less distance.All of this, of course, presupposes that all other things are equal, such as the size of the object, influencing its drag coefficient, as well as it initial velocity.
