When a stone and metalblock having same weight is thrown from a plane which will reach first?
They both will fall down at equal speed and will land equally. Test it: Drop a pencil and a rock from your house. They will fall equally. That would happen in a vacuum, however in our atmosphere falling objects encounter resistance from the air. Each object, depending upon shape and form will reach a terminal velocity. Objects that are more aerodynamic (smooth and of regular shape) will fall faster than rough and irregularly shaped objects of the same mass (weight.)
Why did the hammer land at the same time as the feather on the moon?
No air resistance. No air resistance. Because falling bodies accellerate at the same rate regardless of mass
What is an architectural indent?
An architectural indent is when a new stone is added to a structure in place of an older one. This new stone should be the same type as the previous.
How did Rosetta Stone learn Hindi?
Rosetta Stone learned the Hindi language by hiring people who are fluent in the Hindi language to create the courses for the program. The same thing is done with all languages used with Rosetta Stone.
Is Rosetta Stone Spanish the best software out?
I think that Rosetta Stone is the same as all other language programs out there, like Baron's, for example. I have tried many language learning programs, but I think Rosetta Stone is by far the best out there. It may be expensive, but it is worth it in the end! :)
Would a feather fall faster than a stone in a vacuum?
No, they would fall at the same speed, as there exists no air-resistance. They would accelerate at the same tempo and hit the ground at the same time.
Does the Feather and stone falls at the same speed due to earths gravity and zero air resistance and the gravitational force is the same for the feather and the coin?
A feather and a stone do not fall at the same rate. The feather falls at a slower rate because a feather is subject to the effects of air resistance (it's air resistance to weight ratio is small. A stone has a large air resistance to weight ratio) . The feather may also be subject to blowing winds. Think of 2 pieces of wood. One is 10 lbs and is a sheet, the other is 5 lbs and a block. The weight does not change how fast they fall but the resistance to the air does and so the 10lb sheet of wood takes longer to fall.
Why does a stone fall faster than a feather?
The difference is in the air resistance. Without air resistance, both will accelerate at the same rate. If there is air, in the case of the stone the ratio of surface area / weight is less than that of a feather. As a result, the stone will slow down less than the feather, and fall faster.
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.
How do falling objects behave?
Falling objects behave in such a way that heavier objects will fall faster than the lighter ones. Try to drop a stone and a feather from the same height and at the same time, the stone will fall to the ground first.
Why the coin touches the ground first than a feather?
Air drag. They would fall at the same speed in a vacuum.
Can a quarter and a feather fall at the same speed?
theoritically yes. if they are placed in a vacuum packed room with no air, just empty space, they can fall at the same rate. if they fell in air, the aerodynamics wouldn't equal out, so the quarter would fall faster.
What would happen if you dropped a feather on the moon?
If you drop a feather on the moon, it will fall from your hand with an acceleration of 1.62 meters (5.32 feet) per second2, and never a ripple or a flutter. If you drop the feather and a stone at the same time, they hit the ground on the moon at the same time.
Do all objects not aided by the air fall to the ground at the same speed?
Yes all objects fall at the same speed but there are objects that are aided by the air that don't fall to the ground at the same speed. For example, a feather and a brick. A feather is a object that is aided by air. A brick is a object that wind cannot blow away. If I drop both of them down with the same time down a 100 feet building, then definitely the brick will totally reach the ground first ............ well and it will get crushed into pieces while the feather might be blown away into a different place and reach the ground last.:) :):):):):):):):):)
Will a feather or a wooden ball or a steel ball will fall faster in vacuum?
All will fall at the same speed in vacuum because there will be no air resistance. The gravity will pull all objects in the same force.
Why does a feather falling through the air slower than a brick?
Wind resistance. In a vacuum, feathers and bricks fall at same speed.
Does the size of the ball effect how fast it falls?
Everything falls at the same speed. the only variable is drag. For instance a feather & a bowling ball would fall at the same speed in a vacuum, but not through the air.
