Two watermelons fall off the kitchen counter the mass and speed of the Fruits ….

1 answer

…the watermelons do not determine their speed. Instead, the factors that determine their speed when falling off the kitchen counter are gravity and the distance from the counter to the ground. The mass of the watermelons only determines the force of gravity acting on them. A heavier watermelon will experience a greater force of gravity compared to a lighter one, but this does not necessarily mean it will fall faster. Both watermelons, regardless of their mass, will accelerate at the same rate due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and their speed will depend on the distance they fall and the time it takes to fall.
