Why do a feather and a hammer fall at the same speed in a vaccum?
In a vacuum, air resistance is eliminated, and all objects fall due to gravity alone. The acceleration due to gravity is the same for all objects regardless of their mass, so they fall at the same speed in a vacuum.
Do objects with the same mass but a different density fall at the same rate?
Yes, objects with the same mass but different densities will fall at the same rate in a vacuum. This is because in a vacuum, there is no air resistance affecting their motion, so only their mass will determine how fast they fall.
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 happens when two objects of different masses are dropped in a vacuum?
In a vacuum, where there is no air resistance, two objects of different masses will fall at the same rate and hit the ground at the same time. This is due to the acceleration of gravity being the same for all objects in a vacuum, regardless of their mass.
Does lighter objects fall down faster then heavier objects?
No lighter things do not fall faster than heavier things. In a vacuum they will fall at the same speed. Normally the heavier thing will fall down faster because of its weight. Sometimes the lighter thing falls faster depending on the air resistance.
How does a vacuum affect the rate at which objects fall?
It slows them down
Who found that all objects fall at the same rate of speed in a vacuum?
Galileo

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 do gravity affect any pair of objects?
the object with the greater mass will fall to the ground first. if you think of a hammer and a feather the hammer will obviously fall first. unless your in a vacuum. then the objects fall at an equal rate!
Does lighter objects fall down faster then heavier objects?
No lighter things do not fall faster than heavier things. In a vacuum they will fall at the same speed. Normally the heavier thing will fall down faster because of its weight. Sometimes the lighter thing falls faster depending on the air resistance.
Do hevey objects fall faster than light objects?
Not in a vacuum. All objects, regardless or mass, density, or whatever, fall with the same speed in a vacuum. Some objects may appear to fall more slowly than others (example, a flat piece of paper or a feather vs. a rock), but this is usually due to air resistance. All objects, when falling on earth, accelerate towards the ground at a rate of 9.8 meters/seconds squared.
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.
Do different shaped objects fall at different speeds with the same weight?
In a vacuum, all objects fall at the same speed regardless of shape or weight due to gravity exerting the same force on them. However, in the presence of air resistance, objects with different shapes will fall at different speeds due to variations in air resistance.
