Which object will 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.

Which nail will fall first?

The nail attached nearest to the heated end of rod falls down first.

Why does the feather reach the ground after the hammer?

The effect of air resistance As the feather falls, its air resistance increases until it soon balances the weight of the feather. The feather now falls at its terminal velocity. In fact, it probably hits the ground before it reaches its terminal velocity.

Which falls faster an egg or a 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.

How does weight affect the time it takes an object to fall to the ground?

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.

Which of the iron nails would fall first and which will fall last?

The nail attached to the nearest to the heated end of rod falls down first And then the next one fall .

What drops faster a feather or a hammer?

Because the Apollo crew were essentially in a vacuum, there was no air resistance and the feather fell at the same rate as the hammer. This is exactly what Galileo had concluded hundreds of years before: all objects released together fall at the same rate regardless of mass.

Would a hammer or feather hit the ground first?

If a feather and hammer were the two objects he used, then obviously the hammer would hit the ground first.

What will fall faster a bowling ball or a golf ball?

Oftentimes we say, “But a bowling ball weighs more than a golf ball doesn’t that mean gravity is pulling on it more?” The bowling ball has a greater mass, so there’s more stuff for gravity to act on. In that sense, gravity is pulling on it more. But it still doesn’t fall any faster.
