A feather will fall through the air more slowly than a brick because of?

because feather's weight is negligible as compare to force of gravityA feather will fall through the air more slowly than a brick because it is lighter than a brick and it's small fur on it will slow it down

Why does a feather fall through the air more slowly than a brick?

It is slowed down by air resistance.because feather's weight is negligible as compare to force of gravityA feather will fall through the air more slowly than a brick because it is lighter than a brick and it's small fur on it will slow it down


A feather falls through the air more slowly than a brick because of?

If you dropped them in a vacuum, they would fall at the same rate. However, when you do it in air, the friction from the air will slow the feather considerably, as the surface area to mass is much greater then that of the brick.


What is the difference and mass between a feather and a brick?

a feather is light weight and a brick is heavy wight i know this because you hold a brick you may fall with it you hold a feather it light very light and you do not fall so the answer is THE BRICKS MASS IS LARGER THAN SHORT MASS OF A FEATHER SO BRICK IS HEAVER AND FEATHER IS LIGHTER. NO other way to prove it right so there your answer by makayla thx please vote good


Do all objects not aided by the air fall to the ground at the same speed?

Yes all objects fall at the same speed but there are objects that are aided by the air that don't fall to the ground at the same speed. For example, a feather and a brick. A feather is a object that is aided by air. A brick is a object that wind cannot blow away. If I drop both of them down with the same time down a 100 feet building, then definitely the brick will totally reach the ground first ............ well and it will get crushed into pieces while the feather might be blown away into a different place and reach the ground last.:) :):):):):):):):):)


Why does a penny fall faster than a feather is it because gravity acts less on a feather?

Purely air resistance, the feather floats on the air. The mass is irrelevant. If a penny was dropped at the same time as a brick (ignoring wind resistance) both would hit the ground at the same time. Look up Galileo's tower of Pisa experiment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo%27s_Leaning_Tower_of_Pisa_experiment This also includes a video of a feather and a hammer being dropped on the moon (where there is no air). Both hit the ground together.


A brick has greater mass then a sponge why is the acceleration due to gravity the same for both objects?

acceleration downwards has nothing to do with mass...gravity is a constant accelerated pull (9.81 m/s^2)....acceleration = distance/time The reason why a feather hits the ground after a brick is because of air molecules...it is more difficult for air molecules to stop an object with more mass


How much did Britain change in roman times?

The Romans changed Britain by the houses because they were made out of brick , stone and tiles because we wouldn't of lived in brick houses which are steep on the ground.
