In a vacuum, yes, look up the video on YouTube of dropping a feather and hammer on the moon. However, on earth, that is not the case, due to air resistance. The flat paper has more surface area for the air to push back up on, and therefore slows it down more

What is the acceleration of the object in m/s/s when it is dropped from a height of 10 meters?

The acceleration of an object dropped from a height of 10 meters is approximately 9.81 m/s2.


A 2.15 kg book is dropped from a height of 1.6 meters what is its acceleration?

If air resistance can be ignored, the acceleration is 9.82 meters per second square. Note that to get this result, neither the mass of the book, nor the height from which it is dropped, is relevant.If air resistance can be ignored, the acceleration is 9.82 meters per second square.

When Rae dropped a bowling ball from a height of 8 meters At which distance above the ground was the ball most likely moving at the greatest speed?

Still accelerating til it hits earth. ====================================== The height from which she dropped the ball is irrelevant. In any case, the ball was most likely moving at the greatest speed just as it hit the ground. The answer to the question is: zero.


When will the ball hit the ground if dropped at 443 meters high?

The time it takes for a ball to hit the ground when dropped from a height can be calculated using the equation: t = √(2h/g), where h is the height (443 meters) and g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²). Solving for t gives a time of approximately 9 seconds.


A ball is dropped from a height of 128 meters Each time the all bounces to half of its previous height After one bounce the ball readches a height of 64 meters How high did the ball reach after the 7?

After the 7th bounce, the ball will reach a height of 1 meter. This is because after each bounce, the ball reaches half of its previous height. So, after 1 bounce it reaches 64 meters, after 2 bounces it reaches 32 meters, after 3 bounces it reaches 16 meters, and so on, until it reaches 1 meter after the 7th bounce.

If a ball is dropped at a height of 24 meters with each bounce the ball reaches the height that is half the height of the previous bounce how far does the ball travel by the time it comes to rest?

Answer: 66 Meters. Just had that same problem on a math mates worksheet.

If a gun dropped from a height of 5 meters or more will it engage the shooting mechanism?

Depends on the marker and where it lands. Dont try it.

What is the gravitational potential energy to a car that is 1500kg and is dropped from 50 meters?

After the car is dropped, it has NO gravitational potential energy.Before it's dropped, you can calculate the potential energy as mgh (mass x gravity x height). You can use 9.8 for gravity.
