In a vacuum, objects of different weights will fall at the same rate regardless of their weight. However, in a non-vacuum environment, lighter objects might experience less air resistance compared to heavier objects and therefore could potentially roll faster, assuming other factors like surface friction remain constant.

Why wheels make things faster?

Because they roll


What rolls faster a empty soda can or a full soda can?

An empty soda can will typically roll faster than a full soda can due to its lighter weight. The full can has more mass, leading to increased inertia which slows down its rolling speed compared to the empty can.


What can of soda would go faster an empty one or one that is full?

An empty soda can would likely go faster than a full one when rolling or sliding due to its lighter weight. The full can's mass would make it harder to accelerate and maintain speed compared to the empty can.


Will the cart roll faster with or without mass?

If the cart is rolling downhill it will roll faster with mass, but on level ground or uphill it will roll faster without mass.


Will a hoop or disk roll faster?

A hoop will roll faster than a disk due to its larger radius and distribution of mass.


How fast do balls roll?

the speed of a ball all deends on how fast you roll it, what its mass is, and the incline.The faster you roll it, the steeper the incline is, and the greater the mass will all make it faster


How does the mass of a toy car affect how far it will roll before stopping when it rolls down atrack at an incline?

When things are heavier they fall faster. The faster something goes the longer it takes to stop.

How much does a Butcher Paper Roll weight?

That depends on the size of the Butcher Paper Roll. A 12 inch wide, 900 feet long roll one has a roll weight of 12 lbs. If the roll was 18 inch wide and the same length the roll weight is 18 lbs. A 30 inch wide, 1000 feet long has a roll weight of slightly above 30 lbs.


Do heavier objects roll down a hill faster than lighter ones?

Rolling is more complicated than falling, because rotational inertia is involved. Without that factor, in an ideal world this is the same as asking if a heavier object falls faster than a lighter one. The answer to that question (again, in an ideal world) is no. In the real world... it might, or it might not, it depends on the exact circumstances. There's no fundamental reason that it should if the objects have similar construction (i.e. moments of rotational inertia), but friction and wind resistance complicate things.


The heavier a ball is the faster it fall and the faster it will roll down a ramp?

Yes, that is true because of kinetic energy, If something is heavy and you roll it down fast, then kinetic energy builds up.All other things being equal the mass of the ball has no effect on its acceleration. A fact discovered by Galileo.


Does a small or a large ball travel faster in wind?

Well it all depends on what types really, if they are both of the same, then the big one will roll faster. Lets say for example, you had a big kick ball and a little kick ball, the big will roll faster in the wind. Sorry about the second post, but i almost forgot, it also depends on how big the ball is, because if it's MUCH larger then it will not roll faster, and if it too small, it will hardly roll as well. So as long they are close in size the big one will roll/travel faster
