Who will fall first elephant or rat?

The elephant encounters a smaller force of air resistance than the rat and therefore falls faster. The elephant has a greater acceleration of gravity than the rat and therefore falls faster. If The rat weighs more than the elephant, and therefore will not accelerate as rapidly as the elephant.

Which will fall faster an elephant or a mouse?

The elephant will fall faster than the mouse because of the ratio of weight to surface area. The mouse offers much more wind resistance. The elephant will average about 260 feet per second as opposed the mouse doing 25 feet per second.

Who will fall first elephant or ant?

They both will hit at the same time. Gravity has no connection with one’s mass or weight.. whatever. It all has same rate.

What will fall first heavy or light?

In other words, if two objects are the same size but one is heavier, the heavier one has greater density than the lighter object. Therefore, when both objects are dropped from the same height and at the same time, the heavier object should hit the ground before the lighter one.

Does gravity pull down more on an elephant or a mouse?

Mass. The mass of an object is the amount of matter or ‘stuff’ it contains. The more matter an object contains, the greater its mass. An elephant contains more matter than a mouse, so it has a greater mass.

Does a feather fall faster than a brick?

You may wonder, then, why feathers float gently in the breeze instead of falling to the ground quickly, like a brick does. Well, it’s because the air offers much greater resistance to the falling motion of the feather than it does to the brick.

Can a mouse survive a 2 story fall?

In addition, mice can use their whiskers to sense whether a surface is smooth or rough and suitable to climb. If necessary, mice can also survive a fall of 10 – 12 feet. Mice can also travel across telephone or power lines, as well as wires like skilled tightrope walkers.

How long of a fall can a rat survive?
