Does size effect speed

Answer 1

If gravity is the only force on a falling object, then nothing about the object has any

influence on its speed ... not its size, weight, color, shape, age, religion, or gender

identification. Nothing. Two objects dropped from the same height at the same time

hit bottom at the same time, and it doesn't matter what's different about them.

That's Physics.

The problem is that it's very hard to demonstrate this on Earth, because it's very

hard to drop two objects where gravity is the only force on them. Falling objects

are always falling through air, and the air has a big effect on how they behave.

In air, their weight, size, and shape do affect how they fall ... a big part of the

reason why all airplanes have very similar shapes.
