When a stone and leaf are dropped from a building simultaneously then why the stone reaches to the ground earlier?
It is greater for a feather than for a stone. Hence, the stone has greater downward acceleration than the feather. Therefore, the stone reaches the ground earlier than the feather though they are released simultaneously from the same height.
Which stone will reach the ground first?
If air resistance is to be considered then the small stone of 5 kg will reach the ground first because it has lesser volume compared to the 20 kg stone which has a bigger volume.
When a stone and a pencil is dropped simultaneously in a vacuum from top of the tower which of two will reach the ground first give reason?
Therefore, we can conclude that when dropped from a height, but in vacuum, both the stone and the pencil will reach the ground simultaneously. So, the correct answer is that they will reach the ground at the same time.
When we drop a feather and a stone at the same time?
But, the buoyant and frictional forces on the stone are much less than the weight of the stone and does not affect the speed of the stone much. Hence, when we drop a feather and a stone at the same time from a height, the stone reach the earth faster than a feather.
When a feather and a stone is dropped?
Answer: Acceleration due to gravity is independent of the mass of the object. The stone and feather dropped from the same height do not reach the ground at the same time because of air resistance.
Why do objects of different mass fall?
Acceleration of Falling Objects Heavier things have a greater gravitational force AND heavier things have a lower acceleration. It turns out that these two effects exactly cancel to make falling objects have the same acceleration regardless of mass.
When a stone and a pencil are dropped simultaneously?
Acceleration due to gravity does not depend on mass. It remains same for each object. Since stone and pencil are falling in a vacuum, there will be no air resistance on them. Hence, time taken for them to reach the ground will be same.
When a stone and a piece of paper is dropped simultaneously in a vacuum from the top of the building which of the two reach ground first Why?
Hey here is your answer . (1) Due to air resistance , the stone will fall faster than the piece of paper .
When a stone and a piece of paper is dropped simultaneously in a vacuum from the top of the building which of the two reach ground first?
In vacuum, both will reach the ground simultaneously because acceleration due to gravity is same (=g) on both objects.
