Weight does not affect how fast objects fall; it is the air resistance that they encounter that affects speed. For example a sheet of paper has a large surface area, so a large air resistance. Whereas a rock has a smaller surface area, so less air resistance (so falls quicker).
What else can I help you with?
If you dropped 2 items of the same size and height and at the same time but with different weights which would hit the ground first?
In a vacuum with no air resistance, both items would hit the ground simultaneously regardless of their weight. However, in the real world with air resistance, the heavier item would probably hit the ground first due to greater gravitational force overcoming air resistance.
Will a leaf or twig hit the ground first?
In a vacuum, they would hit the ground at the same time due to the acceleration due to gravity being the same for both objects. In reality, the shape and weight of the objects can affect how they fall, so it's difficult to predict which would hit the ground first.
How does weight affect a parachute?
weight would affect a parachute if you put a 500lb man on a parachute and dropped him gravity would make him travel faster towards the ground compared to if you placed a 92lb boy on a parachute as the parachute applies the same force to both of them but the man weighs more so takes more to slow down and therefor lands down on the ground first By Alister Kelly
Objects with three very different sizes and weights are dropped off a tower on the moon. Which factor of the objects will determine which hits the ground first?
None of these matter. With no air resistance, they all hit the ground at the same time.
Two people stand on a rock one weighs 250lbs and is 7ft tall and the other is 90lbs and 5ft tall if they jump at the same time who lands first?
Assuming both individuals have the same jumping ability and initial velocity, the person who is heavier would land first due to gravity pulling them down faster. The force of gravity is directly proportional to an object's mass, so the heavier person would accelerate more quickly towards the ground compared to the lighter person.
Would a pound of feathers or a pound of bricks hit the ground first?
Bricks would hit the ground first for example a tv is about 30 pounds and the tv remote is about 5 pounds now multiply those by 5 5×5 is 25 and 30×5 is 150 now put that as pounds witch is heavier 25 or 150 its 150 so bricks would hit the ground first
Imagine an experiment in which a 16lb bowling ball and a 10lb bowling ball are dropped from the fifth floor at the same time The heavier ball will reach the ground first?
No. They will hit the ground at the same time. The inertia for the heavier ball will be greater, but the acceleration for both will be the same, and both would (if the air resistance is the same for both) hit at the same time.
How do you make objects of different masses to reach the ground at the same time?
You must let the lighter one go first then let the heavier one go. The heavier should then catch up.
If a 75kg person and a 200kg crate are each parachuted to earth from a plane which will hit the the ground first?
Provided that the parachute has the same surface area for both of the parachutist's, the 200kg man will hit the ground first due to the extra weight from the heavier man.
When a leaf and a coin are being dropped of the same time at the top of the building which of the two will hit the ground first and why?
A coin. It is heavier, and thus less affected by air resistance.
If you dropped 2 items of the same size and height and at the same time but with different weights which would hit the ground first?
In a vacuum with no air resistance, both items would hit the ground simultaneously regardless of their weight. However, in the real world with air resistance, the heavier item would probably hit the ground first due to greater gravitational force overcoming air resistance.
What would touch the ground first a feather or an paperclip?
In a vacuum they would reach the ground at the same time (assuming they are released at the same time and from the same height). When not in a vacuum, however, air resistance is acting on both items - and so the paperclip would touch the ground first.
What would hit the ground first a human or a plane?
Depending were the human and the plane were at. if the human was on the ground and the plane in the air then the human, but lets say they are both 30,000 feet in the air. Both objects would begin to fall faster, then it gets to the point were they are going their "maximum" speed. But they weight between each objects will have an "impact" on who hits the ground first. The plane is obviously heavier than the person but gravity will come into play. There is a point were a falling object cannot go any faster. Most likely both objects will be falling at the same speed. So they could hit the ground at the same time.
A 75 kg person and a 200 kg crate are each parachuted to earth from a plane which will hit the ground first?
With parachutes and air resistance in the mix, the heavier object probably hits the ground first. If they were simply released from altitude and fell freely, without parachutes or air resistance, then they hit the ground at the same time, no matter how their masses or weights compare.
Who would feel the ground shaking first in an earthquake?
i depends where the earthquake is.
What does memoralize mean?
something you would remember Example: My first trip to the water park was "memorable"
What is the second story?
It depends on whether you are in America or Britain - Americans start numbering with the ground floor being called the first story, so the second story is the second floor from the ground. However, in the UK, the ground floor is the first story so that the second story would be the first floor above the ground.
