In a vacuum or in the absence of air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass due to gravity. This is known as the principle of equivalence. In a real-world scenario where air resistance is present, heavier objects may accelerate more due to having a higher force of gravity acting on them, but eventually both objects will reach the same terminal velocity due to air resistance.

Why does the dirt on the bottom of a pool move to the center during a whirlpool but the water itself and things floating get pushed to the side?
The dirt particles are heavier than the water and are influenced by gravity to sink to the bottom of the pool. During a whirlpool, the swirling water creates centrifugal force that pushes lighter objects, like water and floating things, to the sides, while the heavier dirt particles collect in the center due to their weight.
How does inertia affect golf?
In golf, inertia affects the movement of the club during the swing. The heavier the club, the more inertia it will have, making it harder to accelerate and change direction quickly. Lighter clubs will have less inertia, allowing for easier acceleration and control during the swing.
Why can a car so easily pass a loaded truck when going uphill?
Cars are typically lighter and have more power-to-weight ratio than loaded trucks, allowing them to accelerate faster uphill. Additionally, cars often have more aerodynamic designs, which can help reduce air resistance and improve fuel efficiency during uphill climbs.
Why do objects accelerate during free fall?
Earth's gravity pulls all objects toward its center of mass, or in most cases toward the surface. Gravity is a property of matter,and causes every mass to exert a force on every other mass. In this case, the Earth's gravity applies a force to every object on it, and that force will accelerate an object toward the Earth's center, unless it is prevented by some intervening mass. It will still have the potential to accelerate again if the intervening mass is removed.
What are 3 ways that objects accelerate?
Due to a force acting on the object, such as gravity pulling an object downward. When the direction of the object's velocity changes, as in the case of circular motion. During collisions or interactions with other objects that transfer momentum to the object.
Are things lighter during an eclipse?
If you mean lighter in weight, then no. If you mean lighter in colour then no again! There is less light hitting the Earth during a solar eclipse so objects are lit less.

Can you bleed during implantation?
If you mean period wise the implant will either not affect your period or it will become heavier/lighter, less/more common :)
The heavier elements in the universe were formed by .?
They were formed in supernovae.
Why would the heavier metals sink to the center during the formation of planet?
Heavier metals sink to the center during the formation of a planet due to differentiation, a process where denser materials sink towards the core while lighter materials rise towards the surface. This occurs because of the force of gravity, which causes heavier materials to concentrate towards the center of the planet.

Why is a Boeing 747 always heavier at take-off than at landing?
The 747 is lighter on landing because of the fuel it burned off during flight. This is true for all planes.

Why would Europe need lighter clothing?
It depends on the month, but Europe would actually mostly need heavier clothing. Heavy clothing relates to cold weather while lighter relates to warmer. Most of Europe is relatable to heavy to medium clothing during the winter, and medium to light clothing during the summer.
Why is the earth's outermost layer composed mostly of lighter elements?
The Earth's outermost layer, the crust, is composed mostly of lighter elements like oxygen and silicon because these elements are more buoyant and rise to the surface during the Earth's formation due to differentiation. Heavier elements tend to sink towards the Earth's core, leaving lighter elements to form the crust.
