How fast does a feather float?
A feather will float slowly downwards due to air resistance. The speed at which it falls will depend on factors such as its weight, size, and shape, as well as air currents.
What does air resistence depend on?
Air resistance depends on the velocity of the moving object.
How does the weight of a falling body compare with the air resistance it encounters before it reaches terminal velocity?
The weight exceeds the force of air resistance, but as the speed increases the air resistance increases, so the net force (weight - air resistance) falls. When the difference becomes zero the acceleration ceases and you have terminal velocity.
What does the amount air resistance acting an object depend on?
It depends on the shape of the object.
What two things does the amount of air resistance acting on an object depend on?
The amount of air resistance acting on an object depends on its speed (faster speeds result in greater air resistance) and its surface area (larger surface area increases air resistance).
What directions Do the forces of air resistance and weight act on a falling object?
The weight of a falling object acts downwards, while air resistance acts in the opposite direction of the object's motion. Weight is the force of gravity pulling the object toward the ground, while air resistance is the frictional force that opposes the object's motion through the air.
Which encounters the greater force of air resistance a falling elephant or a falling feather?
A falling elephant encounters a greater force of air resistance than a falling feather does. The force of air resistance can't be greater than the weight of the falling object. When the force of air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object, the object stops accelerating, its falling speed becomes constant, and the force of air resistance doesn't get any bigger. So the force of air resistance against a falling feather can't be greater than the weight of the feather. But the force of air resistance against a falling elephant can be, and undoubtedly is, greater than the weight of a feather.
How much rider weight does the ride lift into the air Neglect the weight of the cars and air resistance?
The weight of the riders does not affect the amount the ride can lift since the system is designed to lift and carry the combined weight of the riders and cars. Air resistance is a factor that the ride must overcome to lift riders into the air.
What is air resistance which way does it act and what does it depend on?
Air resistance is the force that opposes the motion of an object through the air. It acts in the opposite direction to the object's motion. The magnitude of air resistance depends on the speed of the object, the surface area exposed to the air, and the shape of the object.
When a N parachutist opens his chute and experiences 800 N of air resistance the net force on him is?
Net force = Force of gravity - Force of air resistance = weight - air resistance = mg - 800N.
Which is not a force weight air friction resistance momentum?
Momentum is not a force. Momentum is a property of a moving object that depends on its mass and velocity. Forces, such as weight, air resistance, and resistance, act upon objects to change their momentum.
Where is the weight of an object maximum in air or Water or Vacuum or oil?
The weight of an object is maximum in air, as air offers more resistance to the weight of the object compared to water, vacuum, or oil.
