Question

If heavier bodies are attracted more strongly by the earth, why do they not fall faster to the ground?

Answer 1

Answer:

The earth attracts all bodies with the same force. Some bodies fall faster than others due to lack of air resistance.

Through experimentation, scientists have verified that In a vacuum, a heavy mass(like a bowling ball) and a light mass(like a feather),

Actually fall together!

Hope this answers your question.

Answer 2

$\huge\bold{\gray{\sf{Answer:}}}$

Explanation:

Concept: why objects falls ?

Any objects fall on ground due the force exerted by the earth known as 'gravitational force' which attracts all the objects towards the ground.The rate of acceleration of gravitational force is $\bold{\red{9.8m/ {s}^{2}}}$.

Gravitational force is denoted by 'g'(small g)

Come to the question:-

All objects fall with different angles and with different speeds.This is due to the air resistance.The heavy objects with more dense resists more air than the lighter objects.So ,a heavy objects fall fastly to the ground as compare to the objects which are light and have less dense.

What is air resistance?

The ability of force to displace air from its path is known as 'air resistance'.

Extra information=>

There is universal gravitational force which exerts between all the objects whatever in the universe.It is denoted by 'G'.

$\bold{\boxed{F= \frac{GM_{1} \times M_{2}}{ {r}^{2} }}}$

Where, F is the force of attraction.

G is the universal gravitational force.

M1 =>mass of object first

M2=>mass of object second

r =>distance between centre of masses
