    Fall Mass Rate
AI Thread Summary
Objects of different masses fall at the same rate due to the constant acceleration of gravity, which is approximately 9.81 m/s² on Earth. In an ideal scenario without air resistance, both a ten-ton weight and a golf ball would hit the ground simultaneously when dropped from the same height. Although the force exerted by gravity increases with mass, it does not affect the rate of fall. This principle demonstrates that mass does not influence the acceleration of falling objects. Understanding this concept is essential in physics and helps clarify misconceptions about gravity and motion.

Do objects of different mass fall at the same rate? If yes or no, why?

Thank you.

Objects of different masses fall with the same acceleration. This is because the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Earth is constant (in an ideal model) which equals 9.81 m/s^2. If you dropped a ten ton weight and a golf ball from a tower, they would hit the floor at the same time (not taking into account air resistance). However the force on the objects will be different. The larger the mass, the larger the force due to gravity.
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
