Gravity has the same amount of gravitation pull that keeps us from falling of the earth. Think of it this way the gravity on earth keeps skyskrapers from falling off the earth just as easy as it is to keep a pencil from falling of the earth so if you drop the two at the same time and height they will both hit the ground at the same time "unless'' it is air resistent meaning that the flow of air will go through it such as paper. :)

If a ball falls freely is the distance it falls each second the same?

No. When the ball falls, there are two forces acting on it; one is the gravitational force and the other air resistance, which is dependant on speed. At the point it is released. Its instantaneous speed is 0m/s The next second, 10m/s, (result of acceleration). the ball will undergo decreasing acceleration. Thus the distance it falls each second is different.


Will a fast ball hit the floor faster than a slow ball when it falls off a table?

If two balls just fall off a table, none will be faster than the other.If one of the balls initially has a horizontal speed, and the other doesn't, or if one is faster in the horizontal direction than the other, then they should reach the floor at the same time.


Name three objects you think have a mass less than one kilogram?

A pencil, a piece of paper, and a scientific calculator all have a mass less than one kilogram.


Will a ball closer to the ground fall faster?

In the absence of air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass or composition. This principle is known as the equivalence principle of gravity. So, a ball closer to the ground would not fall faster than one higher up.


Which ball rolls down a hill faster a big one or a small one?

Assuming both balls have the same shape and surface, the smaller ball will typically roll down the hill faster due to having less mass and experiencing less resistance from friction and air resistance. This results in a greater acceleration for the smaller ball compared to the larger one.

What falls faster dry tennis ball or a wet tennis ball?

Wet, because in has more weight on it. If a tennis ball is wet it can't bounce it just falls and stays on the ground.


When a ball falls does it appear to fall in what direction?

One Direction.


Can you hit a ball faster then you can throw one?

Would a solid steel ball drop faster than a solid steel ball?

Yes and no. When it 'falls' out of a cannon/musket, the solid steel ball will fall at an significantly speedier rate than that of a conventional solid steel ball not emerging from a cannon/musket housing. But sometimes the other solid steel ball will drop slightly faster than the solid steel ball as well. No one knows why really. It's a mystery. :-) (don't know what this question was supposed to mean but that was fun, lol)


Why did john love build the pencil sharpener?

To make life easier and convienient for everyone. no one wanted to whittle away at their pencil every five seconds (exaggeration here!), so the pencil sharpener made sharpening faster, straighter and perfecter.


Does a small or a large ball travel faster in wind?

Well it all depends on what types really, if they are both of the same, then the big one will roll faster. Lets say for example, you had a big kick ball and a little kick ball, the big will roll faster in the wind. Sorry about the second post, but i almost forgot, it also depends on how big the ball is, because if it's MUCH larger then it will not roll faster, and if it too small, it will hardly roll as well. So as long they are close in size the big one will roll/travel faster

How can a thrown ball be measured?

place measuring tape on the ground. you be on one end of the tape and someone else on the other side. throw the ball towards the other person and when the ball falls they tell you how far it was thrown.
