SHORT ANSWER: Mass does not affect the velocity of a falling object.
LONG ANSWER: To my knowledge, mass does not affect the final velocity of an object, just surface area, if there is air or other particles to get in the way. So, basically, if you had two cubes of the same size, and one was made of solid aluminium, and the other was made of lead, even though the lead would be significantly heavier, they would hit the floor when dropped at the same time, all other variables the same. So, mass has no affect on velocity attained from gravity.

Answer from: gobbler80

The speed of a falling object is not affected by the mass of the object (exluding air resistance).
Two objects of different mass (disregarding air resistance) will both accelerate at the same rate. This means that their speeds at equal instants will both be the same. This was discovered by Galileo. HIs experiments dropping or rolling objects of different mass showed that gravity does not pull different mass objects at different rates.
Newtons second law states that
F
=
m
a
. This means that if both accelerate at the same rate, then the force acting on objects of different mass must be different (
F
is proportional to
m
) and the greater the mass, the greater the force of gravity that is acting on the object.

sleep paralysis is a parasomnia, events associated with sleep.

sleep paralysis happens when you are in the middle of waking up or falling asleep. it is the feeling of being conscious but unable to move. it definitely involves hallucinations.

i had a friend that had sleep paralysis and he told me a story one time where he was laying in bed and he couldn't move his body no matter how hard he tried and there was someone standing in the corner of his room coming towards him. he couldn't move and you can't "wake up" because you are already conscious. sometimes sleep paralysis can be triggered by frequent waking up during the night based off of multiple trips to the bathroom, or if you had ever been abused, sleep paralysis can start happening from things like that.
