We're missing one essential piece of information that we need in order to answer this question.  You have not specified <em>what planet</em> the object is falling on.  The answer depends on the gravitational acceleration on that planet, and they're all different.

Without that information, we'll just go ahead and assume that the object is falling to the surface of the Earth.  Wherever on Earth this tense drama is unfolding, the acceleration of gravity is going to be around <em>9.8 m/s²</em> everywhere.

So THAT's the object's acceleration if there is no air resistance.  The object's MASS makes no difference.  It doesn't matter whether the object is a sparrow feather or a school bus. Heavier objects DO NOT fall faster than light objects.

If there is no air resistance, then ALL objects fall with the same acceleration.    It's called the "acceleration of gravity" on that planet or moon, and you can easily look it up.  It's 9.8 m/s² on Earth, 1.62 m/s² on the Moon, 3.71 m/s² on Mars, 8.87 m/s² on Venus, and 24.8 m/s² on Jupiter.

A wire carrying a 29.0 A current passes between the poles of a strong magnet such that the wire is perpendicular to the magnet's
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

2.59 T

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Current flowing through the wire, I = 29 A

Angle between the magnetic field and wire, θ = 90°

Magnetic force, F = 2.25 N

Length of wire, L = 3 cm = 0.03 m

The magnetic force, F, is related to the magnetic field, B, by the equation below:

F = I * L * B * sinθ

Inputting the given parameters:

2.25 = 29 * 0.03 * B * sin90

2.25 = 0.87 * B

=> B = 2.25/0.87

B = 2.59 T

The magnetic field strength between the poles is 2.59 T

Could You Take 2 Elements From The Periodic Table Of Elements, and possibly make one of other 116 elements that are on the table
LekaFEV [45]
That's what stars do all the time. 
For example, in the sun (and MOST other stars), deep down in the center
of the sun's core, two atoms of Hydrogen get squashed together so hard
that they blend into one atom of Helium AND release some energy. 
That's where the sun's energy all comes from.  It's called "nuclear fusion". 
It needs tremendous temperature and pressure to happen.  We know how
to do it, but we can't control it.  So far, the only thing we've ever been able
to use it for is Hydrogen bombs.   

There are 92 elements on the Periodic Table that are found in nature,
plus another 20 or so that have been made in the laboratory, but only
a few atoms of them.

Explain the difference between cool air and warm air
Naddik [55]

Answer: ok

Explanation:

The molecules in hot air are moving faster than the molecules in cold air. Because of this, the molecules in hot air tend to be further apart on average, giving hot air a lower density. That means, for the same volume of air, hot air has fewer molecules and so it weighs less.
