    In a vaccum:- the body accelerates in a free fall for 9.8m/s^2. A vacuum has no air-resistance, only gravitational pull acts on it
    With air:- the body accelerates in a free fall for 9.8m/s^2. However, for larger/less aerodynamic objects eg:- an elephant, air resistance can reduce the acceleration of the object leading to terminal velocity, where both drag and gravitational pull is equal
    in other words the thing that makes the velocity increase/decrease is air-resistance in a falling object.
    In the video it shows well a ball of different mass is dropped from a height, which is a freefall. Hence, No matter if its a vacum or not, the acceleration will be 9.8m/s^2, if terminal velocity is not reached!!

    Suppose u r standing in the middle of the road, on both sides exactly at 1 km away, two group of bikers are standing, one groupe has 10 bikes in it, and 2nd group has 50 bikes in it, all bikes have same engine, same acceleration and same maximum speed, when you signal both the groups, they start moving towards you at the same time, because both groups have same speed, they will reach u exactly the same time, now you say 1st group was smaller it had 10 bikes only, and 2nd group had 50 bikes, why didn't 2nd group reached you faster?
    Same is the case with lighter and heavier object, both objects are made up of exactly same type of sub atomic particles, they all have same mass, the only difference is heavier object has more such particles and lighter object has less of such particles.
    The earth attracts all the subatomic particles with same force and all individual particles move at same speed. That's why objects with more electrons, protons, neutrons and objects with less electrons, protons, neutrons reach earth on same time.
    This is ofcourse in vacuum where air resistance is ignored.

      But how it came true in the experiment done by Galileo Gailele from leaning tower of Pisa although it doesn't have vacuum when he drops two balls of different masses say M and m thus due to air resistance the ball with mass m i.e the lighter mass should reach slowly then heavier mass M..
      Do u have any explanation regarding this?

    • @overunityinventor
      @overunityinventor 4 місяці тому +1

      @@darshnyadav5002 explanation is the same, the sub atomic particles of both the masses M and m (even if they are made up of different element e.g: carbon and iron) have exactly the same masses, but they are different in numbers, all the sub atomic particles having equal masses will be attracted by the earth (=sub-atomic particles that constitute the earth) with equal velocity, hence they cover the same distance in same time.

    This video is wrong in Earth heavier object will fall down faster than lighter object due to air resistance.Like the feather and a stone.But without air resistance lighter and heavier object will fall down in same speed and together.

      Even in vacuum heavier objects will hit the ground sooner. With small objects the difference is more than negligible, but if you take something with mass comparable to that of the Earth's, you will notice it will hit the Earth much faster. That's because gravity is at least two forces. It's not just the Earth attracting you, but also you attracting the Earth. Now, you're light so you can ignore it and it won't matter at all, but a heavy object, like a huge asteroid, or another planet, will make a difference in the speed of falling and will hit the ground faster.

      Galileo's purported experiment only works perfectly in a vacuum, and only works approximately well at low heights through air. Even with identical surface material and areas giving the same air resistance, more massive bodies falling through air have a higher terminal velocity and will hit first, though you may be unlikely to notice it for a couple of reasons: 1) you're dropping it from too low of a height for velocity to accrue, or 2) you're inadvertently dropping the light body sooner than the heavy body and this cancels out its delayed impact (and one argument for the reality of some form of Galileo's experiment is that he noticed that lighter things tend to be released earlier by the same person's hands). If you multiply the height of Galileo's experimental tower by several times, and use a device to release things simultaneously, you will begin to notice the significant delay of impact of the lighter body. So Galileo helped clarify and formalize -- but cannot be said to have completely repudiated -- the "common sense" earlier view that heavier things do, on Earth, fall faster than lighter ones (again, due to air resistance differences from size and shape, and velocity differences from mass). I feel like physics teachers often bypass this nuance in their explanations.

    It is independent of nature of mass and as we know when object fall their gravitaional potential energy is converted into kinetic energy =½mv² and it is proportional to mass and square of speed
    Mgh=½mv²and divide m on both side and 2 to cut fraction and thus v²=2gh and thus proved

    Let an object has mass M. And gravity attracts it with a Force F.
    We know F = MA
    So A = F/M
    Now, if we double the mass of that object to 2M the gravitational force acting on it will be doubled so 2F.
    2F = 2M a
    So a = 2F/2M =F/M
    So a = A
    The acceleration due to gravity is independent of the mass of objects.
    There is a comment saying the heavier ball will fall faster than a helium balloon due to more density but it has nothing to do with density. It is an external thing. They both accelerate at the same rate. We couldn't say the heavier ball will reach the ground fisrt because a little kid throws the balloon back to air.

    this is wrong, as much the experiment show that it might fool a lot of people.
    they will only fall at the same speed till one of then the reach terminal velocity.
    2 equal objects with different mass will have different terminal velocities.
    the trick here is to find an object that reaches terminal velocity before it hits the ground, and then compare to other object with the same shape but heavier.

  • @robertsmyk4102
    @robertsmyk4102 2 місяці тому

    This is false because the sizes of these objects are too similar. Gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the objects that fall. We need the sizes to be greater to see a difference. Air resistance is important as is water resistance but in space large planets will accelerate slower and reach higher speeds than smaller items like individual molecules of gas.

      exactly, its not a free-fall,
      the paper reached 'terminal velocity', due to air-resistance (bc of it's surface area & mass)
      the only force acting on the book is gravitational pull/weight, meaning its a free fall.
