Which one will hit the ground first?
Heaver objects fall faster. If you drop a heavy and light object together, the heavy one will get to the ground first. This is trick question. I remember in physics that everything falls the same.
Do heavier things fall faster?
Answer 1: Heavy objects fall at the same rate (or speed) as light ones. The acceleration due to gravity is about 10 m/s2 everywhere around earth, so all objects experience the same acceleration when they fall.
Which fall faster rock or paper?
(1) Due to air resistance , the stone will fall faster than the piece of paper .
What falls faster egg or watermelon?
The correct answer is the last one: the two will hit the ground at the exact same time. This is because gravity accelerates all objects equally, even if one object is heavier than the other. The watermelon also has a lower acceleration because it is heavier and the egg the opposite.
Do heavier objects hit the ground first?
In other words, if two objects are the same size but one is heavier, the heavier one has greater density than the lighter object. Therefore, when both objects are dropped from the same height and at the same time, the heavier object should hit the ground before the lighter one.
What slows down a falling object?
Resistance and friction are what cause changes in acceleration. Air resistance (also called drag) slowed down the heavier piece. Drag opposes the direction that the object is moving and slows it down. To slow down a fall of an object, you will want to create more drag.

How do you make an object fall slower?
Resistance and friction are what cause changes in acceleration. Air resistance (also called drag) slowed down the heavier piece. Drag opposes the direction that the object is moving and slows it down. Now unfold the lighter piece and drop both at the same time from a high spot, such as a desk or ladder.
Does Weight Affect falling speed?
The simplest answer is: no, an object’s weight usually will not change its falling speed. For example, you can test this by dropping a bowling ball and a basketball from the same height at the same time–they should fall at the same speed and land at the same time.
What falls faster an elephant or a mouse?
No, both papers still fell at the same rate. All objects accelerate toward Earth at 9.8 m/s/s due to the force of gravity. This force is downward toward the earth.
Will 2 objects fall same speed?
Objects that are said to be undergoing free fall, are not encountering a significant force of air resistance; they are falling under the sole influence of gravity. Under such conditions, all objects will fall with the same rate of acceleration, regardless of their mass.
