Thanks to both responses. I did not realise the exact connection
of the mass with gravity.

Some metals are not magnetic I had a hunch that they
might use electromagnetic induction rate of change
of flux linkage etc but does this work for gold etc

I understand owing to or at least partly owing to f = ma
in a vacumn all object free fall at the same speed/ velocity.
So a = f/m so a mass of 10kg and a mass of 1kg
so a = 10 * 10 / 10 = 10m/s. and a = 1 * 10 / 1 = 10 m/s.
Which confirms the same accelerstion for both masses.
IF we take gravity to be a force like a spring and the same
masses on frictionless wheels representing a vacumn.
If we put the same tension in the spring for both masses.
It feels as if the lighter weight acted up by the spring in a horizontal
direction accross the floor will move much more quickly
than the heavier weight.
In the same way as if someone shoves a skinny man or
a fat man with the same force.
It feels as if frree fall is different than the examples on the
floor.
I am aware that momentum mass x velocity is conserved.
Owing to the lower velocity but larger mass and higher
velocity and smaller mass.
However why are the speeds not the same in the on the floor
example. When the only difference seems to be free fall downwards
as oppposed to freeflow with a fixed force horizontally?

Sound waves

Sound waves are longitudinal so soud travels in the same direction of as the vibration. So if a ruler vibrates up and down how does it travel accross the room to be heard.
