Ok so I think I understand all that now. So that would mean although the force due to gravity would remain the same for any mass, the normal force for a greater mass (F=ma) would be greater, which even with increased air resistance would still be greater acceleration then less mass.
So my...
So I participate every year in the Toboggan National Championships in Maine. Year after year most teams try to get as fat as they can with the theory that the more weight they have the faster they will go down hill.
I am fairly proficient in basic physics, and know that the acceleration due...
