What else can I help you with?
Do objects of different weights fall at different speeds?
No, objects of different weights fall at the same rate in a vacuum due to gravity. This is known as the principle of equivalence, demonstrated by Galileo's famous experiment. However, in the presence of air resistance, heavier objects can overcome it better and fall slightly faster than lighter objects.
Do objects that are the same size fall at the same rate?
In a vacuum, objects of different sizes fall at the same rate because they experience the same acceleration due to gravity. However, in the presence of air resistance, objects with larger surface areas experience more air resistance and fall slower than objects with smaller surface areas.
Who preformed many experiments to measure the rate at which objects fall?
Galileo Galilei is credited with performing many experiments to measure the rate at which objects fall. He conducted these experiments by dropping objects of different weights from the leaning tower of Pisa to show that all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass.
Why do different weighted objects fall at the same rate?
Different weighted objects fall at the same rate due to the constant acceleration of gravity acting on all objects regardless of their mass. This acceleration causes all objects to experience the same rate of falling, known as the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2 on Earth). Thus, in the absence of other forces like air resistance, objects of different weights will fall at the same rate in a vacuum.
Does a balance scale use gravitation or force to compare the weights of two objects?
Gravitation is a force, But i believe the answer you want is gravity
What are some objects that have the same mass but different weights?
I believe that it is not possible to have the same mass and different weights. Unless you are on the moon with a different gravitational pull.
Do objects of different weights fall at different speeds?
No, objects of different weights fall at the same rate in a vacuum due to gravity. This is known as the principle of equivalence, demonstrated by Galileo's famous experiment. However, in the presence of air resistance, heavier objects can overcome it better and fall slightly faster than lighter objects.
What does a spring scales do?
it weights objects
Do all objects weigh the same amount when placed in a vaccum regardless of their mass?
No. In a vacuum, the weight of an object will be the product their mass, times the gravity. In other words, objects with different masses will have different weights.
Do all objects fall at the same seed?
Yes - If they have the same weight. No - if they are different weights... imagine dropping a feather and a stone.
What were the results of Galileo's experiment on falling objects?
Galileo's experiment on falling objects showed that objects of different weights fall at the same rate, disproving the common belief at the time that heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones.
Can objects have different weight but same volume?
Yes. A good example would be styrofoam and steel. The same volume of each of these substances would make for vastly different weights.
The earths gravity attracts things towards it which is why objects have?
weights
How much does change weigh?
Different amounts of change have different weights. This is because different coins have different weights and will produce different readings.
Why do motor oils come in different weights?
Different applications and engines require different weights of oil to operate properly and prevent engine wear. Therefore different weights of oil are produced.
Will different weights effect the speed?
The answer depends on where the weights are placed.
What makes an object sink or float?
maybe the density of the objects
