Do two objects of the same mass dropped at different height have a different speed?
Yes, two objects of the same mass dropped at different heights will have different speeds when they hit the ground due to the influence of gravity. The object dropped from a higher height will have a higher speed upon impact because it had more time to accelerate while falling.
What else can I help you with?
Who said all objects fall at the same rate of speed?
Galileo Galilei, an Italian physicist and astronomer, conducted experiments to show that objects of different masses fall at the same rate of speed when dropped from the same height. This principle is now known as the equivalence principle.
A ball is dropped from a certain height. What is its initial speed?
When a ball is dropped from a certain height, its initial speed is 0 m/s as it starts from rest. The ball gains speed as it falls due to gravity pulling it downwards.
When two objects of different masses are dropped at different positions will they fall at the same speed?
Yes, in the absence of air resistance, all objects near the surface of the earth when dropped will accelerate due to gravity at the same rate of 9.8 m/s^2. This means that they will fall at the same speed regardless of their mass or starting position. However, in the presence of air resistance, the speed at which they fall may vary.
When there is no air resistance objects of different masses dropped from rest?
I like this one! If there is no air, then objects dropped from the same height at the same time, on any planet and regardless of their mass, will all accelerate at the same rate, have the same speed at any instant, and hit the ground at the same instant. That's true of a car, a feather, a bowling ball, or anything.
Is terminal velocity the same speed for any weight?
Terminal velocity for a feather will be considerably lower than the terminal velocity of a bullet. The size and shape of the object will play an important role. While objects dropped from a given height in a vacuum will fall to earth at the same velocity, the resistance caused by atmosphere will be different for different objects.

What experiment of Galileo's involved cannonballs?
Galileo's experiment to show that mass had little effect on the speed of falling objects involved two cannonballs of different sizes being dropped from a certain height. This showed that, in a vacuum at least, falling objects fall at the same speed no matter their mass.

When a ball is dropped from a certain height, its initial speed is 0 m/s as it starts from rest. The ball gains speed as it falls due to gravity pulling it downwards.
Will two objects that have the same mass that are dropped from two different heights meet at the same speed?
No because 'g' is irrespective of the object's mass.
When two objects of different masses are dropped at different positions will they fall at the same speed?
Yes, in the absence of air resistance, all objects near the surface of the earth when dropped will accelerate due to gravity at the same rate of 9.8 m/s^2. This means that they will fall at the same speed regardless of their mass or starting position. However, in the presence of air resistance, the speed at which they fall may vary.
WHEN A BALL IS DRoPPED FROM A height its speed increases why?
Acceleration due to the force of gravity.
When there is no air resistance objects of different masses dropped from rest?

What is the speed of most objects and what it depend on?
Different objects can have different speeds; also, the same object can have one speed now, and a different speed later.
Do you fall faster when higher?
no gravity pulls you at a steady speed. however air presure and movement WILL affect your speed of travel.
Coins of different sizes dropped from the same height will fall at the same time or not?
Coins of different sizes will fall at the same time because in the absence of air resistance, all objects experience the same acceleration due to gravity regardless of their size or mass. Therefore, they will all hit the ground at the same time as long as they are dropped from the same height simultaneously.
Why does an object dropped from a certain height have more than twice the speed of an object dropped from half the height of the previous object?
Because they undergo an acceleration. Free fall velocity is the function of a square.
