Best Answer

The air resistance varies due to shape.

In a vacuum (space) it would be largely because one started accelerating first. It would also be (2nd order effect) because there is no perfect vacuum and one has more resistance than the other.

Do objects with larger mass fall faster outside of a vacuum?

No. Everything, no matter what the mass, free falls at about 10m/s/s.


Do heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects in free fall?

false


In free fall all objects fall with the same acceleration?

In free fall in a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate of acceleration. In air, however, friction comes into play, so that various objects can fall at different rates.


In free fall do all objects fall with the same acceleration?

yes, objects fall at a rate of 9.8m/swith acceleration. For every second in free fall you must add 9.8m/s to get the acceleration of an object.


How is friction reduced in falling objects?

free fall


When is an objects to be in free fall?

In free fall, the force of gravity alone causes an object to accelerate in the downward direction.


How is gravity related to free fall?

Gravity and free fall are similar because they are both a force that pulls objects downward. <><><><><> Gravity is the force that pulls you down. Free fall is when you have no opposing force keeping you up.


How do objects fall if air friction is disregarded?

They Free Fall without losing it's/their momentum.

What occurs when objects free fall near the Earths surface constant acceleration?

Yes, exactly. Free fall results in constant acceleration.


The acceleration due 2 gravity of all objects in free fall is the same?

if you are asking that, in general, all objects accelerate at an equal speed due to gravity in free fall, yes.they are slowed by air resistance.


Why does heat travel faster by conduction in some objects?

Heat travels faster in some objects by conduction because they have free or mobile electrons for the conduction of heat energy.Such is the case with metals.
