Air Resistance increases with velocity.So, as the velocity of a falling object increases, Air Resistance increases until it is equal to Gravity.

How do all objects fall?

All objects fall towards the center of the Earth due to gravity. The rate at which objects fall is determined by their mass and the gravitational force acting upon them. In the absence of air resistance, all objects would 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.


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.


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.


Why do some objects fall at a different rate than others?

Objects fall through air at a different rate due to the amount of air resistance. Feathers or dandelion "parachutes" fall at a much slower pace than coins. However there is an experiment called "The coin and the feather". A glass tube about 6cm in diameter has a penny and a penny placed inside before the air is evacuated using a vacuum pump. The tube is then sealed. If the tube is held vertically the coin and feather are both at the bottom. If the tube is then swiftly inverted, so that what was bottom becomes top, the coin and feather are seen to fall at the same rate. Unbelievable unless you actually see it.

Do objects of the same mass but of different shape fall at the same rate?

in a vacuum, yes, all objects would fall at the same rate, but otherwise no due to air friction


Do some objects fall through the air at a different rate than others?

Yes, due to air resistance a rubber ball would fall faster that a sheet of paper. In a vacuum, all things would fall at the same rate.

Why then do some objects fall through the air at different rate than others?

Some may be may be heavier and have more mass than others.

Do some objects fall through the air at different rate than the others?

of course ! Yes, due to the effects of air resistance. All falling objects experience the same acceleration from gravity, however.


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.


Does the distance between two objects effect its rate of fall?

If the two objects are not interacting, then the rate of fall would be unaffected.
