If you drop two objects in a tube that has no air in it, they'll both land at the same time, and it doesn't matter what they weigh.

Why does weight of the object change its falling speed?

it dosent, because if you drop 2 objects at the same mass and weight from really high up then they will land at the same time. This is because the weight of the object doesnt matter, only the force of gravity.


Is it easier to move objects in water then on land?

Yes, it is generally easier to move objects in water compared to on land, because water provides buoyancy that helps support the weight of the object. Also, water has less friction compared to land surfaces, making it easier to push or pull objects in water.


When two objects of the same mass drop from different heights do they land at the same time?

Yes, in the absence of air resistance, objects of the same mass will land at the same time regardless of the height from which they are dropped. This is because the acceleration due to gravity is constant and independent of mass.


There is no air on the moon If a bowling ball a feather and a large empty box were dropped from the same height on the moon at the same time which would land first?

They would all land at the same time because in the absence of air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass. This is due to the acceleration of gravity being the same for all objects on the moon.


When dropping objects with different masses which object will land first?

In the absence of air resistance, objects of different masses will land at the same time when dropped from the same height. This is due to the acceleration due to gravity being constant for all objects near the surface of the Earth.

If you're sitting on a branch and you drop a large heavy rock and a small pebble what will happen?

If you drop them at the same time, they will land at the same time. Also the branch will move up as the weight is released and will oscillate depending on how heavy the objects were. Be carefull, you might fall from the sudden motion.


When a stone and metalblock having same weight is thrown from a plane which will reach first?

They both will fall down at equal speed and will land equally. Test it: Drop a pencil and a rock from your house. They will fall equally. That would happen in a vacuum, however in our atmosphere falling objects encounter resistance from the air. Each object, depending upon shape and form will reach a terminal velocity. Objects that are more aerodynamic (smooth and of regular shape) will fall faster than rough and irregularly shaped objects of the same mass (weight.)

Two objects with different weights are dropped at the same time which lands first?

In a vacuum, they always land at the same time. In air, it's not so much the weight but the air resistance. If the shape and density are about the same, then the difference in weight doesn't make any difference.


If i drop a thousand pound ball and a ten pound ball in a vacuum which one will land first?

They would land at the same time.


You drop a penny from a height of 16 feet After how many seconds does the penny land on the ground?

The penny drop a height after 1 second penny is on the ground


Do heavy objects fall before lighter objects?

In a vacuum all objects fall at the same rate. In air the shape and density of an object can effect its rate due to air resistance. However, a bowling ball and a basket ball would fall at virtually the same rate. A simple experiment: Get a pen and piece of paper. Hold them both out in front of you and drop them. Which lands first? Now crumple the paper up into a ball as tight as you can. Drop them both again. Did they both land at the same time? (Simple Answer) No, they don`t.

If a ton of bricks and a ton of feathers were wrapped up the same witch would land first?

assuming wrapping them up allows us to neglect air resistance, both will land on the ground at the same time. The acceleration due to gravity is the same for all objects (9.8 m/s2) no matter their size and weight.
