the gravitational pull is same for both the ant and human?

How do you know if it's the same ant ?

The gravitational force is the same regardless of mass, but the amount of air resistance can vary significantly depending on shape and mass. An ant (or even a mouse) has so little mass that it has a low terminal velocity (the velocity at which the acceleration of gravity is negated by air resistance). If you were to drop a small mouse down a deep well, it would bounce a bit and have no problems. A cat would probably live. A human would break most bones and internal organs. A horse would splash to bits. The only difference in each case is the terminal velocity reached.

ants weigh less than humans. that's why when they fall they just float in the air.
maybe you could take an experiment on that. you and an ant in a 4-storey building jump together at the same time. that would be fun!!lol

an ant has an exoskeleton that is much more flexible than a human. even more important is the small mass of an ant. it will actually float about and not hit the ground very hard.

There are weight differences...human picks up velocity for they are heavier thus the gravity is pulling it quicker and the ant is the opposite...kinda like a feather and a brick you can drop a brick long after the feather and the brick will still hit first.

There were ants in my microwave and they lived through the heating of my water. 30 seconds on high. A person would have died ( I think....) if they did that.

It could be a James Bond ANT. Final answer.

Ants have an exoskeleton while humans have an endoskeleton, plus they're so light they float down compared to us.

when u jump into water, u dont die, right? .. Same thing .. Air will hold ant and its like jumping with parachute, ant doesnt fall, it just like flying due to its lack of weight .. .
