avalanche
a mass of snow, ice, and rocks falling rapidly down a mountain side
It's an avalanche.
The scenario of a rock falling down a hill exemplifies Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass (F=ma). As the rock is influenced by the gravitational force pulling it downward, it accelerates down the slope of the hill. Additionally, the rock's motion demonstrates the impact of frictional forces as it interacts with the surface of the hill.
The mass of reactants is equal to the mass of products.
No, the mass of a planet and its size are not the same. Mass refers to the amount of matter in an object, while size refers to the physical dimensions of the object. A planet's mass is determined by the total amount of material it contains, while its size is a measure of its physical dimensions.

Mass refers to the amount of mass in an object.
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.
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.
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.
"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 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.
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.
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.
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.
