What do you get when you subtract the force of air resitance from the force of gravity?
First of all, gravity is not a force, it is an acceleration. What you mean is the force of weight, which is the acceleration of gravity multiplied by mass (all forces are vectors, and gravity is not a vector.) When air resistance is subtracted from weight, you have the net force on a falling object (assuming those are the only forces acting on it.)
Do you get when you subtract the force of air resistance from the force of gravity?
Terminal Velocity
Air resitance is a type of?
air Resistance is a type of force
Is there a maximum velocity to a falling object?
At some point the air resitance on an falling object will become equal to the force of gravity and the falliing object will stop acceperating. This is called "terminal Velocity"
What do you get when you subtract the forces of air resistance from the forces of gravity?
Terminal Velocity
How does air effect gravity?
Air has no effect on gravity. But the presence of air can change the response of an object to the force of gravity alone.
What is the net force acting on a falling 1-kg rm kg ball if it encounters 2 N rm N of air resistance?
Since gravity attracts the ball downward, and air resistance acts upwards (assuming that it falls straight down), you need to subtract the force of gravity (i.e., the weight) minus the air resistance.
What two forces act on all falling objects in the earths atmosphere?
Gravity and Resistance Under free fall, the only force acting upon an object is the force of gravity. But realistically, there is also the force of friction from the air (Air Resistance) that opposes the force of gravity.
What force act on the ball when it is in the air?
The force that acts on a ball when in the air is gravity.
What is the net force acting on a freely falling 1-kg ball if it encounters 2 N of air resistance?
The idea is to calculate the downward force of gravity, and then subtract the air resistance, since it acts in the opposite way. This assumes that the ball falls directly downward.
What do you get when the force of air Resistance from the force of gravity?
The net force on a following object
A feather is in freefall when the force of gravity is greater than the force of air resistance is equal to the force of air resistance is less than the force of air resistance is the only force acting?
"Free fall" means that gravity is the only force acting on a body.
