OpenStudy (anonymous):

if that's fall.......... both r supposed to fall at the same rate.....

OpenStudy (kymber):

o_o

lol smart

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It also depends on the density of each

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

What about 2 pounds of bricks and 1 pound of feathers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

with air resistance in the mix, the bricks will fall faster. but in space where there is no air, the bricks and feathers don't fall at all. prolly the biggest source of gravity will come from the sun and as the bricks and feathers fall toward the sun the eventually get burned up so we can't really tell. but if they fall toward a black hole, the bricks and feathers will get stretched and eventually be engulfed in the black hole. being that nobody has ever been to a black hole and returned we will never know which one reached the center first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It depends on the density and the shape of the objects, considering there is no air resistance (wind).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no they fall the same they way the same so they fallthe same

OpenStudy (kymber):

No, they don't weigh the same...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It doesn't matter how much they weigh.

OpenStudy (kymber):

Think about it though, you drop bricks and you drop feathers. The bricks would go straight down, whilst the feathers would float around and eventually hit the floor. I don't understand how they'd fall at the same?
