In vacuum, all masses big and small fall with the same acceleration,

and reach the same speed in the same amount of time.

What is the acceleration of a falling abject?

All objects irrespective of their masses in a vacuum where there is no air resistance will fall at an acceleration of 9.81 m/s²


What happens in a vacuum between two objects of different masses?

There will be a gravitational force of attraction between them, but this would be the same in a vacuum as it would be in any other place.


What happens when identical objects are dropped on planets with different gravitational conditions?

Without the interference of air or any other force, they should fall at the same speed. All objects accelerate at the same rate regarding their masses. To conclude, If this was made in a vacuum they should fall at the same speed but in different conditions it may have different results due to air resistance.


Do different shaped objects fall at different speeds with the same weight?

yes, they fall at different speeds because of friction due to air molecules. In a vacuum they would fall at the same speed.


Do objects that are the same size fall at the same rate?

Yes. And objects with different sizes, masses, and weights also fall the same.


Do objects with the same mass but a different density fall at the same rate?

In vacuum, yes. Otherwise the object with a lower density will fall more slowly.


Who is the famous scientist who reputed to have dropped a balls of different masses from the top of the tower op Pisa and timed their fall?

Galileo


When dropping objects with different masses which object will land first?

they fall at the same rate regardless of their mass Maryann Saba


If two objects with one having significantly more mass than the other are released in a vacuum tube at the same time which would travel faster under the force of gravity?

In the absence of air resistance, with motion produced only by the force of gravity,all masses fall with the same acceleration.After any time interval, all masses have the same speed, and all masses hit the groundat the same time.A feather, a helium balloon, a bowling ball, you name it. In a vacuum, they all fall 'like rocks',and hit bottom at the same time.


Will coins of different sizes dropped from the same height fall at the same time?

In a vacuum, they will fall together. Air resistance might have a minor affect on the results.


Do all objects weigh the same amount when placed in a vaccum regardless of their mass?

No. In a vacuum, the weight of an object will be the product their mass, times the gravity. In other words, objects with different masses will have different weights.


Which would fall faster in a vacuum a science table or a bar of soap?

In a vacuum they would both fall at the same speed.
