Mass refers to the amount of mass in an object.


What does Christmas mean when it's broken down?

It comes from Christ Mass. A Mass is a Roman Catholic service. Christ refers to Jesus Christ. So, the Mass celebrating the birth of Christ was called the Christ Mass, shortened to Christmas.


Why does an apple falls down from a tree why dont goes up?

The acceleration of a freely falling body is dependended upon the mass of the two bodies involved, a mass of the apple is nothing, when compared to mass of the earth, so it tends to move downward towards earth.


Does an object that is freely falling have mass?

Yes, an object freely falling still has mass. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, and it remains constant regardless of the object's motion. The force of gravity acting on the object is what causes it to fall.


What is the reason why comets fell down?

"Down" is the direction of the greatest mass, which, in the Solar System, is the Sun. The reason ALL comets haven't fallen into the Sun is that there also have angular momentum, which results in them falling AROUND the Sun.


The momentum of a falling leaf is and the momentum of a falling pincone is what?

The momentum of a falling leaf is determined by its mass and velocity as it moves downward due to gravity. The momentum of a falling pinecone is also dependent on its mass and velocity as it falls under gravity, potentially differing from that of a leaf due to the pinecone's shape and denser structure.


Is there a relationship between the mass of an object and its speed while falling?

In the absence of air, no. In the presence of air, a very indirect relationship, not directly related to the mass or to the Physics of falling bodies.


How does the increase in thermal energy of the cylinder relate to the mass of the falling object?

The increase in thermal energy of the cylinder is related to the mass of the falling object through the conservation of energy principle. As the falling object hits the cylinder, some of its gravitational potential energy is converted into thermal energy upon impact. The greater the mass of the falling object, the more thermal energy will be generated in the collision.


Will not the stone attract the earth when it is falling?

Yes, definitely the stone will also attract the earth when it is either thrown up or is falling down. But the mass of the stone is very small as compared to that of the earth, and since the force is directly proportional to the mass of the object, the force with which the stone attracts the earth will be negligible as compared to the force with which the earth attracts the stone.
