Which ball will drop first?

Which ball will drop 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.

When you drop two balls of different weights from the same height?

When you drop a ball (or anything) it falls down. Gravity causes everything to fall at the same speed. This is why balls that weigh different amounts hit the ground at the same time. Gravity is the force acting in a downwards direction, but air resistance acts in an upwards direction.

What will hit the ground first a bowling ball or a golf ball?

Well, ask yourself this question: which one is easier to move in the first place? The golf ball. So it takes more force to move the bowling ball. And the bowling ball is also the one gravity pulls on more.

Which of these two ball strike the ground first?

As gravity is the only force in both cases, both balls will hit the ground at the same time. When you throw a ball, we are assuming that you are throwing it horizontally. This means you are giving the ball only horizontal velocity.

Why does a bowling ball and feather hit the ground at different times when dropped from the same height?

If you drop a feather and a bowling ball from the same distance anywhere on Earth, they will fall at different rates. The feather will drift breezily to the ground while the bowling ball plunks downward immediately. But this explanation leaves an important factor out of the equation: air resistance.

Which falls 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.

Will a bowling ball and a golf ball hit the ground at the same time?

Answer? They hit at the same time.

Does the ball with the smaller surface area reach the ground first?

In general science (according to the laws of physics ofcourse) the ball with the smaller surface area will reach the ground first as it will not be affected by air resistance as much as the ball with the larger surface area would be. The pull of gravity is same on both the balls.

What would happen if Galileo dropped a bowling ball from Pisa?

If Galileo dropped a 12-pound bowling ball and a 13-pound bowling ball from the Tower of Pisa simultaneously, by the time they reached the ground, the heavier bowling ball would probably be several inches ahead of the lighter one. The difference might be hard to spot without a high-speed camera.

What is the formula for weight thrown from the same height?

F = m a , where, m=mass and a=acceleration. But, we know to that, F = m g , where, g= acceleration due to gravity. Therefore, m g = m a, or, g = a. Thus, it does not depend on mass, so the different weights thrown from same height will reach the ground at the same time.

What happens when you drop a basketball and a tennis ball?

As it turns out, the force of gravity tries to make everything accelerate downward at EXACTLY the same rate, no matter how light or heavy it is. This means that if you dropped a basketball and a tennis ball at the same time (from the same height) they will hit the ground at the same time (try it!).
