∙ 14y agoIn a vacuum there would be no gravity, so the objects would not fall at all. However, if there was gravity, the feather and bowling ball would hypothetically reach the ground at the same time.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoThere is more air resistance on the feather and less on the bowling ball, so the bowling ball is going to hit the ground first. If this test was done on the moon where there is no air resistance, they would hit the ground at the same time.

∙ 13y agoYes if you put them at the same height. Gravity treats everything the same but if you try with a feather that won't work.
Yes they would as they are treated the same in gravity, both have the same velocity of 9.8m/s squared. A feather wouldn't work because of air resistance. Air would hold it back.

∙ 8y agoIn a vacuum, they will. In free air there will be a lot of drag on the paper that will cause it to fall slower.

Why does a bowling ball down a lane at a virtually constant speed?
A bowling ball and a piece of paper will fall at the same rate on the Moon.This is because gravity pulls at a constant rate. The force of gravity depends on the mass of the Moon, which is constant, and not on the mass of each object falling.On Earth, the piece of paper will fall much slower than the bowling ball because of air resistance. Because there is no air on the Moon, both objects will fall at the same rate.
How does the weight of an object affect the way it falls?
Yes. Because paper is much much lighter than a bowling ball so if you drop them the paper will take atleast 1.3 seconds to fall and a bowling ball will take atleast 0.5 seconds.
Why does a crumpled piece of paper fall faster than a flat piece of paper?
The ball presents less Surface Area to the air than a flat sheet. So, there is less air resistance when a thin piece of paper is crumpled into a ball.
Do things fall at the same rate?
Not necessarily. It depends on their rate of friction, which impacts how fast they will accelerate downwards. This is why a golf ball or tennis ball will fall faster than a leaf or a piece of paper.
Do heavy objects fall before lighter objects?
In a vacuum all objects fall at the same rate. In air the shape and density of an object can effect its rate due to air resistance. However, a bowling ball and a basket ball would fall at virtually the same rate. A simple experiment: Get a pen and piece of paper. Hold them both out in front of you and drop them. Which lands first? Now crumple the paper up into a ball as tight as you can. Drop them both again. Did they both land at the same time? (Simple Answer) No, they don`t.
Which exerts a gravitational force a baseball a football or a bowling ball?
A bowling ball since it has more mass. However, both the ping pong ball and the bowling ball are subjected to the same acceleration due to gravity, specifically 9.82 m s-2 and, neglecting air resistance, would fall at the same rate of speed.
If a bowling ball and a Nerf ball dropped at the same time and height what would the acceleration be?
it would be 9.8 meter per second. anything that isn't subject to air resistance(like paper) will fall at this rate for this is the acceleration of gravity,
What is a example of free fall?
a crate dropping , a tennis ball rolling down a hill, and a bowling ball falling are examples o f free fall.

Where would a bowling ball and a napkin fall with the same acceleration?
In a vacuum chamber. C. On the moon.
What are some common bowling injuries?
well the ball could fall on their foot and Deon is awesome
