ya it does it makes it fall slower because of more things for the air to travel around

Does adding mass to a paper helicopter affect the rotation speed of the helicopter?

If you are adding mass to the outside of the blades, it will make the blades rotate much more slowly. However if you add mass to the inside of the blades it will increase the rotational speed, however more force will be needed to start the rotation.


What is factors can affect the height of a wind formed wave?

the speed of the wind,the length of time that the wind blows, and the fetch


How does the wingspan of a falling helicopter effect the speed?

It wouldn't, the propellers are designed to propel the helicopter off of the ground, thus the word propeller, not to make the helicopter glide. The wings are too thin to hold up a helicopter and that is why they spin to gain ground as well as using kinetic energy to lift up. The propellers would eventually bend or snap if the helicopter would be to fall, the speed of the wind would break or damage the propellers.


How does mass affect the speed of an object?

It has no direct affect on the speed of an object. It does affect the energy content of the speeding object.


Does the length of a propeller affect the speed at which a plane travels?

Both the length and the rpm of the prop affect the speed of the aircraft. Larger, slower turning props are more efficient at the speeds at which most prop aircraft operate. If the tip speed of a prop exceeds the sound barrier, a prop will suddenly loose a large part of its thrust. The loud crackling noise you hear on takeoff is not the engine, but the prop tips nibbling at the sound barrier. DAN Both the length and the rpm of the prop affect the speed of the aircraft.

What factors would affect the length of the day?

The length of the day would change if either the rotational speed of the the planet or the orbital distance from the sun changed. However, if you mean what factors affect the length of daylight, then that is different.

Does color paper affect reading speed?

The color of paper can affect reading speed if it contrasts with the text color. High contrast between text and paper color can increase readability and lead to faster reading speed. However, individual preferences may vary, so it's best to choose a color combination that is comfortable for you.

Why a helicopter falling during auto-rotation could reach a terminal speed without the pilot changing any controls?

The helicopter begins to fall because gravity is pulling its weight. As the helicopter accelerates, the air passing past the helicopter creates drag, as the helicopter continues to accelerate the drag Increases until the drag becomes equal to the weight, stopping it from accelerating. Even if the helicopter did not auto rotate it would still reach a terminal speed, however the terminal speed for the non auto rotating helicopter would be a lot higher and the helicopter would take longer to reach this speed.


Does length and mass affect speed and distance?

I cannot say about "lenght", but distance is a measure of length so length affects distance. Speed is the rate of change of distance (over time) so length affects speed. Mass does not significantly affect speed or distance but, because they are affected by acceleration and acceleration is affected by mass (for a given force), then mass affects them. Also, mass affects space time and the presence or absence of mass changes the lines along which distances are measured and so distances and speed are affected.
