No, because there is no air to slow the down. For deeper analysis, check YouTube, hammer and feather experiment on the moon. They hit the ground at the same time on the moon because there is no atmosphere, but if you drop a hammer and a feather on earth the hammer, obviously, hits first.

How do all objects fall?

All objects fall towards the center of the Earth due to gravity. The rate at which objects fall is determined by their mass and the gravitational force acting upon them. In the absence of air resistance, all objects would fall at the same rate regardless of their mass.


Who preformed many experiments to measure the rate at which objects fall?

Galileo Galilei is credited with performing many experiments to measure the rate at which objects fall. He conducted these experiments by dropping objects of different weights from the leaning tower of Pisa to show that all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass.


Do heavy objects fall to the ground before light objects?

In the absence of air resistance, heavy objects and light objects fall to the ground at the same rate. This is because all objects experience the same acceleration due to gravity, regardless of their mass. However, factors like air resistance can affect the rate at which objects fall.


Do objects that fall toward Earth fall faster and faster?

Objects that fall towards Earth do not fall faster and faster. In a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate, regardless of their mass. This is known as the principle of universal gravitation and was first demonstrated by Galileo.


What factors affect an objects rate of fall?

The force of acceleration (gravity) the drag (resistance which is a complex factor including shape, density, surface structure, viscosity of the medium through which the object is falling, etc. )

Does the distance between two objects effect its rate of fall?

If the two objects are not interacting, then the rate of fall would be unaffected.

What happens if a large object and small object fall into free fall and what is their acceleration?

In a vacuum, i.e. space, both objects would accelerate at the same rate. If the object they were attracted to was the same size as our planet the acceleration would be 9.81 m/s squared. In an atmosphere the acceleration would be inconsistent and based on air resistance.

Why heavier objects fall faster than do lighter objects?

They don't. All objects fall at the same rate of speed because of weight.

Do objects of the same mass but of different shape fall at the same rate?

in a vacuum, yes, all objects would fall at the same rate, but otherwise no due to air friction

How does a vacuum affect the rate at which objects fall?

It slows them down


Why will the lead weight and the feather land on the ground at the same time on the moon?

In a vacuum, where air resistance does not exist, objects of different masses will fall at the same rate due to gravity. This is because all objects are subject to the same gravitational acceleration. On the moon, with no atmosphere to create air resistance, both the lead weight and the feather will experience the same gravitational pull and fall at the same rate, leading them to land on the ground simultaneously.


What factors affect an objects rate of fall?

The force of acceleration (gravity) the drag (resistance which is a complex factor including shape, density, surface structure, viscosity of the medium through which the object is falling, etc. )
