Falling Objects

Nigel says to Jimbo that the heavier an object is the faster it falls. Jimbo tells Nigel that he is wrong. Jimbo says that the longer an object is falling the faster it falls. Tanya says that there are more factors that are involved when objects fall. Who do you think is right and why?

i think nigel is right. an object that is heavier falls faster because it has more mass and weight.

I think Tanya is right because if you drop two objects, of different weights, they fall at the same speed.

I think that Nigel is right. That the heavier an object is, the faster it falls. Why I think he's right is because a piano falls faster than a pencil because the piano's heavier.

nigel is correct the heavier the object the faster it falls

I think nigel is correct because the heavier the object the more gravity the more the pull.

I agree with Nigel

I agree with Nigel because heavy falls faster

We think that Nigel is the one with the correct answer.

Hannah Perkins said...

I agree with Nigel.

Paige M. said...

Nigel's right.

I agree with Nigel.

Nigel is a smart dude the heavier the object the faster it falls

Tanya is right there are a lot of factors going into it people even had tested this by dropping two things that weigh different amounts of something high and they land at the same time.A key that would make something faster and the other slower is areo dinamics.

Nigel is wrong because if you were to drop a box of bricks and a box of feathers at the same time from a roof (or table) they will hit the ground at the same time, this fact is proven by Newtons theory.

I agree with Tanya because there are more factors when objects fall.

I agree with Jimbo, because I think the higher the height it is being dropped from, the faster it falls.

Nigel is wrong because gravity is putting the same amount of force on it to go downwards at the same speed...and I've seen a few YouTube videos on it...

I agree with Tanya because there are more factors when objects fall!

That's why I think Tanya is right.

Tanya is right.

I agree with Tanya because when objects fall there are more factors .

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think Nigel is wrong and Tanya is right because there are more factors that mass.

Lewin P. said...

I agree with Tanya and JImbo cause Jimbo is right, but there is more stuff, too.

I agree with nigel because the heavier an object the faster it falls.

A heavier object could have more drag.

Ian R. said...

I think that Tanya is right because one extra factor is wind resistance.

Tanya is right because weight and length don't affect the speed of a fall.

Jacob Esty said...

I agree with Tanya because she is right about other things making things fall faster but both Nigel and Jimbo are wrong.

Anthony B said...

I think that Tanya was right because there are more factors to how fast an object falls.

Anthony B said...

And Jimbo had a point too.

tanya .m said...

I am right and the objects no matter what size fall the same pace.

i think that Nigel is the one with the correct answer.

I agree with Tanya because all solid objects drop at the same speed. Jimbo is correct with momentum, however.

Lauren M said...

Tanya is right because, whatever the weight is they end up falling at the same pace.

Brooke B. said...

I think Nigel is right.
