What is the numerical value in meters per second of the acceleration of an object experiencing true free fall?
9.8
Why does a heavy object fall at the same rate as a light object in a vacuum?
In a vacuum, there is no air resistance to affect the rate at which objects fall. The acceleration due to gravity is the same for all objects regardless of their mass. Therefore, both a heavy object and a light object will fall at the same rate in a vacuum.
How long it will take an object to fall if it is 0.5 meters off the ground?
Assuming the object is in a vacuum and experiencing no air resistance, it will take approximately 0.32 seconds for the object to fall 0.5 meters from rest. This is calculated using the formula t = sqrt(2h/g), where t is time, h is height, and g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2).
What object falls faster a heavy object or a light object in a vacuum?
They both fall at the same rate. This is because they are both only acted upon by one force in the vacuum- gravitational acceleration. The mass, size or shape of the object do not influence the object's motion in a vacuum.
How far do you have to fall to reach 120 mph?
It would take approximately 1,500 feet for an object to reach a speed of 120 mph when free-falling due to the force of gravity.

Does the shape of an object affect the rate of it's fall?
In air, yes. In vacuum, no.

How many meters will a 2kg ball moves starting from rest fall freely in one second?
The mass is irrelevant. If the object is in free fall (that is, air resistance can be neglected), an object will fall 4.9 meters in one second.
How does resistance affects an falling object?
It depends on the shape of the object. A spherical object will fall faster than a rectangular object. This is untrue if they are placed in a vacuum.

It would take approximately 1,500 feet for an object to reach a speed of 120 mph when free-falling due to the force of gravity.
How fast is free fall acceleration on earth?
Free fall acceleration on Earth is approximately 9.81 m/s^2, which means that the speed of an object in free fall will increase by 9.81 meters per second for every second it falls. This value is a constant for any object falling near the surface of the Earth in a vacuum.
Surely an object that is heavy and aero-dynamic would fall faster?
If there is an atmosphere - yes. In a vacuum - no.
If an object falls for 12 seconds from what height did it fall ignoring air resistance?
On object falling under the force of gravity (9.8 m/s2) would, in a vacuum, fall a distance of 706 metres in 12 seconds. In a non-vacuum, i.e. air, the object would fall less distance in the same time due to drag.xt = 0.5 (9.8) t2
Why light and heavier object when fall through vacuum more side by side?
This is because the weight of an object does not affect the acceleration of that object due to gravity. At Earth's surface, the acceleration due to gravity is roughly 9.8m/s2, regardless of the mass of the object.What does differ with the mass of the object is the force of gravity. Force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration. So a one kilogram object will fall with a force of roughly 9.8 meters squared per second squared, or 9.8 Newtons (N). A two kilogram object would fall with a force of about 19.6N (2kg * 9.8m/s2). This is why when -NOT- in a vacuum, items of different mass can fall at different rates. The additional force of the more massive object will better counter the force of friction with the air, allowing it to fall faster even though it's acceleration is the same.
