How does the mass affect the egg drop?
The mass of an egg affects the force of impact upon landing during an egg drop. A heavier egg will experience a greater force of impact when it lands compared to a lighter egg, potentially increasing the chances of breaking upon impact.
Why would is it that two objects fall at the same rate?
The best way to answer that question is: Because that's the way gravity works. When you think about it, it's really the only way that makes sense. Let's assume that heavy things fall faster, and light things fall slower. Take a heavy thing and a light thing. Tie them together with 3 feet of string, and drop them from a high building. The light thing wants to fall slower, and it holds the heavy thing back. The heavy thing wants to fall faster, and it pulls the light thing ahead. Together, they fall at some speed faster than the light thing alone, but slower than the heavy thing alone. Bu that's crazy. What difference does it make whether they're tied together with string, stuffed in the same bag together, or hooked together with nuts and bolts ? Together, they're even heavier than the heavier thing, but we just said that they're falling slower than the heavier thing would fall alone. It doesn't add up. Heavier things don't fall faster.
How can you tell which of three balls is the lightest or heaviest using a simple balance that consists of two pans?
Tough question to get into one sentence! You can do it in two weighings. Select any two of the balls and place one on each pan. If the scale balances, the third ball is the oddball. A second comparison will determine whether the oddball is lighter or heavier than the other two balls. Simply replace one of the first two balls with the oddball. If the oddball is heavier, its pan will drop; if it's lighter, its pan will rise. But what if the scale fails to balance the first time? (It is twice as likely that the scale will fail to balance when selecting two of the three balls at random for the first comparison!) If the scale fails to balance on the first comparison of two randomly selected balls, then you know that the oddball is on the scale, but you do NOT know which one it is, and you don't know whether it's heavier or lighter than the other two. A second comparison will resolve those issues. Remove the lighter ball from its pan and replace it with the third ball. If the scale remains out of balance, then you know that the heavier ball is the oddball, which is, of course, heavier than the other two. If, however, the scale balances, then the ball you removed is the oddball and is lighter than the other two.
What will drop faster the penny or the feather?
The penny will drop faster than the feather due to the difference in mass and air resistance. The feather experiences more air resistance, which slows down its fall compared to the penny.
Why does weight of the object change its falling speed?
it dosent, because if you drop 2 objects at the same mass and weight from really high up then they will land at the same time. This is because the weight of the object doesnt matter, only the force of gravity.
Read the description of a science experiment below. Which part of the experiment is the second step of the scientific method (forming a hypothesis)?
she hopes to prove that heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones
How do falling objects behave?
Falling objects behave in such a way that heavier objects will fall faster than the lighter ones. Try to drop a stone and a feather from the same height and at the same time, the stone will fall to the ground first.
Can a fast pitch softball bat be damaged if used for slowpitch softball?
Yes, a slowpich ball is heavier. That is why a slowpitch ball makes an arch and drop straight to the ground. since fastpitch balls come in faster the bats are lighter and made to swing faster.............any other questions go to www.youbetya.com
What reason might the Greeks have had not to question the evidence that heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects?
The reason that the greeks might not have had any questions to the evidence that hevier objects fall faster than light objects is because they would be questioning statistics which is that heavier objects and lighter objects do not fall at different rates but at the same its just the pending on the weight ex. a brick and a feather you drop a brick it falls quick beacuse of its weight and a feather because of it's weight it falls alot slower but at the measuerment of the objects falling quicker than the other they don't its irrelevent.
Why do rivers deposit heavier sediments first?
Because it requires more energy to transport heavier sediment than lighter sediment. As a river flows it loses energy, and hence begins to drop the heavier sediment. Imagine you had a handful of sand and a handfull of flower. The sand is heavier than the flower, and also larger. If you blow on both of your hands, the flower will be easily blown away, but the sand will be more difficult, because the grains are bigger and heavier, and require more energy to move.The heavier sediments are the first to overcome the power of the moving water with the power of gravity.
How does this show that the water is denser than lavender oil.?
Add a drop of water: when it is thinking down to the bottom then it is heavier, when lighter it will stay on the upper surface, when density is equal then it floats in the middle.
Why are bowling balls heavy?
So the ball can pick up more speed. For example, if you drop a feather on the ground, it takes a longer time to fall than a heavier object, such as a notepad. A bowling ball is heavier to gain speed faster.
How does the mass affect the egg drop?
The mass of an egg affects the force of impact upon landing during an egg drop. A heavier egg will experience a greater force of impact when it lands compared to a lighter egg, potentially increasing the chances of breaking upon impact.
How long in seconds would it take for an object to fall 120 meters?
depends on weight of object and wind strength.normally heavy objects will drop down faster than lighter objects.
What size ball should a bowler use who weighs 120lbs?
The general rule of thumb is 10% of body weight to start with. If you are hurling the ball down, you may need to move to a heavier ball. If you are experiencing discomfort, then drop to a lighter ball.
Does a drop of green food dye color cold or hot water faster?
Hot water will diffuse things faster than cold because of the extra kinetic energy moving things around. Diffusion rate increases with higher temperatures or pressures.
What is heavier wood bat a -3 or a -2?
A -2 wood bat is heavier than a -3 wood bat. The numbers indicate the bat's drop weight, which is the difference between its length in inches and its weight in ounces. A lower drop weight (like -2) means the bat is closer in weight to its length, making it heavier compared to a bat with a higher drop weight (like -3).
