Does the weight of an object affect how fast it will fall?
No. Weight has nothing to do with how fast objects fall, except for things that get in the way, like air, it's all gravity.Related Information:The phenomenon of falling is caused by the gravity of at least two objects, like a stone and the Earth, mutually attracting one another. For objects falling to Earth, there is the added negative force of drag (the resistance of air friction working against gravity). Drag acts to slow the rate of fall of any object that it acts upon. Objects of lesser density, or poor aerodynamic qualities, are affected more than objects of greater density or excellent aerodynamic qualities. Drag can be virtually eliminated readily, by allowing objects to fall in a vacuum chamber where feathers, dust bunnies, and bowling balls fall at the same rate.
Why are some objects move faster thanthe other?
Objects can move at different speeds due to differences in their mass, applied force, and surface conditions. Heavier objects typically require more force to accelerate, while lighter objects can accelerate more quickly. Factors like friction and air resistance can also affect how fast an object can move.
An apple falls from a tree and 1s later hits the ground. How fast is it falling when it hits the ground?
Assuming the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s², the apple would be falling at 9.8 m/s when it hits the ground after 1 second.
How fast do objects accelerate due to gravity?
Objects in free fall accelerate at a rate of 9.8 m/s^2 (meters per second squared) due to gravity near the surface of the Earth. This acceleration is constant regardless of the object's mass.
Is it true that a paperclip falls slowly because it is small?
No, the size of an object doesn't impact how fast it falls due to gravity. All objects accelerate towards the ground at the same rate in the absence of air resistance, regardless of their size. The perception that a paperclip falls slowly may be due to its lightweight and small size.
How fast does gravity accelerate objects on Earth's surface?
It is approx 9.81 metres per second-squared.

How fast did Curiosity accelerate to get to Mars?
Really fast
How are humans able to accelerate?
A.) They accelerate by there bones and your heart. If your heart is fast you will be fast, if your heart is slow you will go slow.
How fast do objects falll?
Objects accelerate as they fall. Their speed increases at a rate of 9.81 m/s2 on or near the Earth's surface. So, after falling for one second, an object (in a vacuum) will be moving 9.81 m/s, or roughly 32 ft/s. This is, at least, the theoretical speed. This seems like a very fast number, and it is, because a number of factors have been ignored. Real objects displace air as they fall (causing turbulent and viscous flow), which slow them. The amount of air displaced and how much this effects the object depends on the object's shape and density. For example, a crumpled sheet of paper falls faster than a new sheet, and a bird's feather falls more slowly than a lead feather. Also, if an object falls 1m (about 3ft) to the ground, it will be moving at about 4m/s (~13ft/s) when it hits the ground.

What is a scientific word for fast?
acceleration
Why dont heavy objects fall faster than light ones?
-- Gravity pulls harder on objects with more mass than it does on objects with less mass. -- But objects with more mass need more force on them to accelerate as fast as objects with less mass. -- So it all balances out . . . no matter how much mass an object has, every object on Earth falls with the same acceleration.
How fast can the average car accelerate in 1500 feet?
45mph
