How does the mass of an object affect the rate of its fall?
It won't affect the rate of fall, which is 9.8m/s2. If you drop a bowling ball and a crumpled ball of paper from the same height, they will land at the same time. The earth's gravity determines the rate of fall. During the Apollo 15 moon landing, a feather and a hammer were dropped from the same height and they landed at the same time. The moon's gravity determined their rate of fall. Refer to the related link to see the demonstration.
Why did the flat sheet of paper fall at the same rate as the book?
If that's what actually happened, then you must have done the experiment either in a vacuum chamber or else on the moon, where there's no air. When gravity is the only thing around, all objects fall with the same acceleration, speed, and velocity, no matter what shape, size, or mass they have ... a feather and a bowling ball fall together. But when they have to fall through air, that's when heavy things fall faster.
What two things fall at the same speed?
A marble and a bowling ball fall at the same acceleration speed. Anything with the exact same shape falls at the same velocity. 10 meters/s/s
Will a bowling ball and a piece of paper fall at same rate if dropped near surface of the moon?
Yes, both the bowling ball and the paper will fall at the same rate near the surface of the moon due to the moon's weaker gravitational pull. In the absence of air resistance, all objects will fall at the same rate regardless of their mass.
Why does a heavy object fall at the same rate as a light object in a vacuum?
In a vacuum, there is no air resistance to affect the rate at which objects fall. The acceleration due to gravity is the same for all objects regardless of their mass. Therefore, both a heavy object and a light object will fall at the same rate in a vacuum.
What did sir isaac discover about why things fall at the same rate?
No
Why do thing fall at the same rate?
Because the gravity is the same. this does not explain why real heavy objects fall at the same rate as light ones since the more mass their is their is supposed to be more gravity.....also how does space/time warped space affect such things as the falling apple
Do some objects fall through the air at a different rate than others?
Yes, due to air resistance a rubber ball would fall faster that a sheet of paper. In a vacuum, all things would fall at the same rate.
Do the object of the same shape but different mass fall at the same rate?
in a vacuum, yes, all objects would fall at the same rate, but otherwise no due to air friction
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
Who found (discovered) that objects of different mass and weight fall at the same rate?
Who found (discovered) that objects of different mass and weight fall at the same rate
Do things with the same mass but a different density fall at the same rate?
In vacuum, neither mass nor density will make any difference. Otherwise, air resistance becomes relevant and objects with lower density fall lower.

Why do a rabbit and tiger both fall at the same rate in absence of air?
A rabbit and a tiger fall at the same rate in the absence of air because there is no air resistance affecting their falling bodies.

How fast does mayonnaise fall?
all things fall at the same speed
