Because a constant force (their "weight") acts on them. As we all know,
a constant net force acting on an object causes the object to accelerate.
Acceleration of gravity states that all objects, no matter what the size, will fall at the same rate. This is the rate at which objects free-fall.
Objects of different masses free-fall at the same acceleration because they are subjected to the same gravity. Even though they may have different masses, and thus have different forces of gravity (weight), their inertia will counteract the force of gravity and cause them to accelerate at the same rate.
In free fall in a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate of acceleration. In air, however, friction comes into play, so that various objects can fall at different rates.
In free fall, the force of gravity alone causes an object to accelerate in the downward direction.
An objects weight is what makes it fall. Weight is an objects mass multiplied by the strength of the gravitational field it is in. So an object with mass is in free fall when it is in a gravitational field. So gravity causes objects to fall freely.
In free fall, the force of gravity alone causes an object to accelerate in the downward direction.
Because in air there is gravity which can make that to accerelate
Free fall is caused when gravity pulls it toward earth
if you are asking that, in general, all objects accelerate at an equal speed due to gravity in free fall, yes.they are slowed by air resistance.
Newton's second law of motion states that force is equal to mass times acceleration, or F = ma. So, because the force of gravity is pulling the object down towards the ground during free fall, the object will accelerate. In fact, it will accelerate at a rate of 9.8 m/s2.
Acceleration of gravity states that all objects, no matter what the size, will fall at the same rate. This is the rate at which objects free-fall.
false
Without air resistance or other forces (other than gravity, that is), falling objects will accelerate at the same rate, and they will take the same time to fall a certain distance. If this is not the case, then the most likely cause is there IS air resistance.
Objects of different masses free-fall at the same acceleration because they are subjected to the same gravity. Even though they may have different masses, and thus have different forces of gravity (weight), their inertia will counteract the force of gravity and cause them to accelerate at the same rate.
V (m/s) = 0.5 x 9,81 m / s2 x t2t = time in seconds
