That only happens when they fall through air. The reason is the friction of the
respective bodies plowing through the amount of air that each is in contact with.
In the absence of air, bricks and cotton would accelerate at the same rate, reach
the same speed at the same time, and hit bottom together.
What else can I help you with?
Can the masses be neglected if the masses are equal?
Yes. If the masses are the same, then it can be considered as a constant and thus neglected.
Why can way consider the weight of the hooked masses as equal to the centripetal forces?
The weight of the masses provides the force necessary to keep the masses moving in a circular path, which is the centripetal force. This is due to the tension in the string providing the centripetal force required for circular motion, balancing out the weight of the masses. Thus, one can consider the weight of the hooked masses as equal to the centripetal force in this setup.
Does the ratio of the distances equal to the ratio of the masses in each of the cases?
Yes, according to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the ratio of the distances between two masses is equal to the ratio of the masses. This relationship holds true for gravitational forces acting between any two objects.
Equal volumes always mean equal masses?
Not necessarily. Equal volumes do not always mean equal masses because different substances have different densities. Denser substances will have more mass in a given volume compared to less dense substances.
Two ice skaters initially at rest have pushed off each other and are moving in opposite directions with equal speeds. What is known about their masses?
Their masses are equal. According to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum of the system will remain constant before and after the push-off. Since the two ice skaters have equal and opposite momenta after the push-off, their masses must be equal in order to fulfill this conservation law.
What can you say about inertia of object of equal masses?
Equal masses will have equal inertia.
If masses are equal where does their center of mass lie.?
If the masses are equal, the center of mass lies exactly in the middle between the two masses. This is because the center of mass is a point that balances the masses, and with equal masses, the balance point is at the midpoint.
Can the masses be neglected if the masses are equal?
Yes. If the masses are the same, then it can be considered as a constant and thus neglected.
Is a ton of bricks heavier or a ton of cotton?
A ton is a measure of weight, so they weigh the same provided they are wieghed on the same planet.... which shd be the case for a good comparison.... providing equal frames of reference....
Are Weights of bricks cheese and feathers equal?
They can be - it depends on how many bricks, how much cheese and how many feathers.
What is the answer to this question You have 26 bricks. You want to use as many bricks as you can to build a step. If you lay the bricks in 5 equal rows, how many will you have left I know!?
1 brick.
Is 200 gram cotton is equal to 200 gram?
Is 200 gram cotton equal to 200 gram of iron
What weighs more bricks or water?
it basicly depends on the quantity: if there is more water and less bricks then the water weighs more if there are more bricks than water then the bricks weigh more if the bricks and water are in equal amount, then if the water is really dense it may weigh more... it varies
What are the two sub atomic particles which have relativel equal masses?
Protons and neutrons have relatively equal masses. Electrons have a much smaller mass than the others.
How many legobricks are there in the the world?
Billions! 60 Bricks are equal to 1 person in the world. This means there are more bricks in the world than people!
Is density the volume of equal masses of substances?
yes
Why isn't electron and positron mass equal?
Their masses are equal. It's their charges that are opposite.
