What else can I help you with?
Which will fall faster a pound of bricks or a pound of feathers?
a pound of bricks. Air can flow through the feathers so that causes it to float down. feathers don,t fall. they glide. but everything falls at the same speed. i cant remember what you call the air flowing though the feather but i know it cause im in sixth grade. If you drop both of them in space, then they will fall at the same time. Even though their mass is different, there is no air resistance in space. Air resistance is the force that is like acting against gravity. In Earth, there is air resistance, so in the case of the feather, there is more air resistance acting upon it than the gravity. That is why it falls slower than the pound of bricks.
Why does a feather falling through the air slower than a brick?
A feather falls slower than a brick because of air resistance. The larger surface area of the feather allows more air resistance to act against it, slowing down its fall. The brick is denser and has a smaller surface area, so it falls faster due to less air resistance.
How does a pound of bricks and a pound of feathers compare?
-- The bricks and the feathers have the same weight.-- The bricks and the feathers have the same mass.-- The feathers have more volume than the bricks.-- The bricks have more density than the feathers.-- Neither the package of bricks nor the package of feathers is edible.-- The bricks definitely sink in water, whereas the feathers may float on water.-- When dropped through air, the feathers fall slower than the bricks, because of air resistance.-- I'm guessing that the feathers cost more than the bricks.
What would have more mass 2 m of bricks or 6000 m of air?
if you mean cubic metres bricks have a density of about 2.4 kg/ litre and air is about 1.2 kg/ m3 so 2.4 x 2 = 4.8 metric tons for bricks 1.2 x 6000 = 7.2 metric tons for air therefore air has more mass
What is air resistance and what are the two factors that air resistance depends on?
Air resistance is the force that opposes the motion of an object through the air. It depends on the speed of the object and its surface area exposed to the air.
What force slows objects moving through the air?
Air resistance
Why does the oscillation of a pendulum gradually slows down after a certain interval of time?
Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.
When an object falls through the air encounters air resistance its overall speed will be than if it had not encountered air resistance?
The resistance do obstruct the object. The object always travel slower with air resistance. Air resistance is higher with velocity and the object falling through air would have a limited velocity that it can't go through.
How does surface area affect air resistance?
air resistance affects
What are the different types of resistance available on exercise bikes?
The different types of resistance available on exercise bikes are magnetic resistance, air resistance, and friction resistance. Magnetic resistance uses magnets to create resistance, air resistance uses air to create resistance, and friction resistance uses a brake pad to create resistance.
How are air resistance and friction alike?
Air resistance is a type of fluid friction (along with water resistance) and is therefore is a type of friction.
Is air a source of resistance?
Yes, air can provide resistance to objects moving through it. This resistance, known as air resistance or drag, is caused by air molecules colliding with the moving object and can slow down its motion.
