Describe why pebble and a shoe fall with different accelerations and speeds?

A pebble and a shoe fall at different speeds and accelerations because the shoe is generally heavier than a pebble. The pebble has less mass than the shoe, so it will fall slower, because there is less of a gravitational force on it. The shoe, however, being bigger and having more mass than the pebble, will fall faster and land harder because gravity has a stronger pull on it.

How do you find the average velocity if there are two different speeds?
We sum the two different speeds and devided by two
Do different objects fall at different speeds?
Air resistance
Different colors are the result of different what?
varying speeds different colors of light travel
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.
In what ways are sound waves and electromagnetic waves different?
They travel at different speeds.

How fast can black holes go?
there is no exact answer, different black holes have different speeds, but all black holes can crush 1 tonne of metal into a size of a pebble
What term do you use when you describe winds that are responsible for tornadoes that blow at different heights at different speeds and in different directions?
This condition is called wind shear. It is indeed a crucial factor in producing tornadoes.
How to calculate acceleration?
1). Write down the information you're given, such as position, time, speed, etc. 2). Write down the things you know that describe the general relationships among positions, speeds, times, and accelerations. 3). Use the quantities you're given, together with the general rules you know, to find the acceleration.
Why do the high speed aircraft use variable intake engine design?
The variable intake controls the amount of air pushed through the engine in order to keep it from stalling. The laws of physics that describe Air flow at speeds below Mach 1 (speed of sound) are different for air flow at supersonic speeds. So the size and shape of the engine inlet at low speeds are different that at high speeds.
How do astronomers know the sun's surface rotates at different speeds?
Sunspots rotate at different speeds.
How do you find the average velocity if there are two different speeds?
We sum the two different speeds and devided by two
Why do groups of scientists often work together and why is it important for scientists to describe objects completely?
if groups of scientists didn't work together they would go at different speeds and probably get different results need to describe it completely so that when they use that same factor in an experiment they have the data.
Why does speed travel at different speeds in different liquids?
no
Do sounds have different speeds?
No! Lol
Why aircraft that travel at supersonic speeds cannot be heard on the ground?
The properties of air flow at supersonic speeds is different than for subsonic speeds. So the design of the shape of the airplane and the inlets for the engines have to be different in order for it to fly at supersonic speeds.
Does light travel at different speeds through different materials?
no
