Tai Hai Chen ★★★★☆ (1085)	Science is not a democracy. Science is about objective observation. All laws and theories can only be formed from observation. If took one man to disprove thousands of years of scientific consensus that heavier things fall faster than lighter things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sKX20WhKS4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Kv-U5tjNCY Edited on 24-02-2016 01:28

Surface Detail ★★★★☆ (1673)	Actually, heavy things do tend to fall faster than light things. Try it. Drop a brick and a feather. What Galileo actually did was to apply the scientific method to falling objects for the first time and thus explain why heavy objects are usually observed to fall faster than light objects.

A feather falls slower than a brick due to air resistance and the materials the objects are made of. Two objects made of the same material will fall at the same rate even if one is heavier than the other. Back then people didn't know there is air.

Surface Detail ★★★★☆ (1673)	Tai Hai Chen wrote: A feather falls slower than a brick due to air resistance and the materials the objects are made of. Not really. The important factors are their masses and and shapes. Two objects will fall through air at the same rate if they have the same mass and shape, even if they are made of different materials. Two objects made of the same material will fall at the same rate even if one is heavier than the other. Wrong. Razor blades and hammers are both made of steel. They won't fall through air at the same speed due to their different masses and shapes. Back then people didn't know there is air. No, course they didn't. That must be why they didn't invent sailing ships. Oh, wait...

A heavy adult male parachuting airborne ranger who, while parachuting, drops a small lead figurine of an adult male parachuting airborne ranger of the exact same shape, will find that the small lead figurine does, in fact, plummet to the ground faster than the rate at which he floats to the ground. Mass per incident surface area for drag needs to be considered. Small quibble. Your main point is correct. . I don't think i can [define it].

Drop a bowling ball and a marble and they will both fall at the same rate. Differences in the rate of fall are caused by air resistence not weight !

jwoodward48 ★★★★☆ (1537)	Sure. In a vacuum, everything falls at the same rate. The force of gravity increases with mass, as does inertia, so they cancel out, assuming that only the force of gravity acts on the object. Air resistance force is solely dependent on shape, etc., but the inertia of objects vary, and inertia is resistance to forces, including air resistance. You can imagine it sort of like this. A light object is like two people pulling lightly on a string. If a toddler comes along and yanks it, he'll probably win. But a heavy object is like a hundred grown men playing tug-of-war. Increased forces and increased resistance. The same toddler will have almost no effect.

Effective mass is dependent on the relative speed of an object. The faster the speed, the more mass the object has. Acceleration still occurs, just at a slower rate. The mass gets still faster...up to a point. That point is the speed of light. At that point, the mass is effectively infinite, and the force to make it go faster simply results in zero acceleration. No matter how hard you push (or pull), the object will not go any faster. Of course all this is relative. We are only talking about speed relative to you.

jwoodward48 ★★★★☆ (1537)	No, you are. (Read my edit, btw, in case you haven't already.) This comes down to a schoolyard competition of speed-posting. Whoever can say "ur biased" first obviously has the better argument. No! That is not true. Whichever argument is better will win. This is nothing but an arms race of stealth ad hominems.

Astronauts, while on the moon, demonstrated that feathers & hammers DID fall at the same rate.... altho at the rate of the moon's surface gravity, not the Earth's surface gravity. As far as bricks flying, the standard 1960's joke was: the military squat F-4 fighter plane was proof that even a brick will fly if you give it enough power. Edited on 21-03-2017 16:47

Join the debate No one cares even if 97% of climate scientists think more CO2 causes warmer weather. Because of Galileo.:
