What is the air on the moon?
No, there isn't any air resistance on the moon
Explain why a man using a parachute falls through air slowly while a stone falls through air very fast?
When an object falls through air, it experiences air resistance. This air resistance is a force that opposes the object's motion. The amount of air resistance an object experiences depends on the object's shape, size, and speed. A man using a parachute falls slowly because the parachute creates a large amount of air resistance. A stone falls very fast because it has a small amount of air resistance.
How is the possible to travel rocket to moon if there is no any gravitation and air resistance in the moon and out of the earth?
There is gravity on the moon; it is about 1/6 the gravity on Earth. Air resistance is not necessary for vehicles that rely on rocket power rather than air foils for their lift.
Why did the hammer land at the same time as the feather on the moon?
No air resistance. No air resistance. Because falling bodies accellerate at the same rate regardless of mass
Why did the feather and the hammer land the same time on the moon and different times on the earth?
The Earth has an atmosphere and the moon doesn't, so a falling feather on Earth runs into quite a bit of air resistance which slows it down much more than a hammer. On the moon, there is no air resistance.
When a leaf falls from a tree the leaf flutters instead of dropping straight down to the grown?
it experiences air resistance
How do gravity and air resistance differ on the Earth than on the moon?
Gravity and air resistance are both weaker on the moon.Gravity is directly proportional to mass. Because the moon is smaller, it doesn't pull on objects as hard.The atmosphere on the moon is much thinner than Earth's. Because of this, it offers almost no friction compared to on Earth.
Would striking a steel ball on the moon cause more movement than striking it on the Earth?
No, as long as you do not factor in air resistance, the ball keeps the same inertia on earth as it does on the moon and will therefore resist movement equally on both bodies. If you do include air resistance in your problem then the ball will travel a longer distance on the moon since friction with the air will not slow it down.
What is the friction of air?
friction in air is called air resistance. When a feather falls through the air, it is slowed down by this air resistance. as gravity pulls the feather down to the earth, air resistance pushes it up. gravity almost always wins, however, when the feather gets enough acceleration to overcome air resistance. the mass of the object effects the amount of air resistance. a feather has low mass, therefore is slowed down by air resistance. A rock has much mass, therefore air resistance doesn't effect it as much. this is why a rock appears to fall "faster" than a feather. take the rock and feather on the moon (something the Apollo astronauts did) and they fall at the same rate.
What does friction have to do with a cotton ball falling down a tube?
The cotton ball experiences air resistance and friction from the sides of the tube if it touches those.
When you place a ball at the top of the hill and it accelerates toward the bottom of the hill it probably also experiences both and?
rolling friction, air resistance
What is the effect of mass of object to speed of falling object to the earth?
If air resistance can be neglected, there is no effect. If there is air resistance, the general tendency is for more massive objects to fall faster. In places like the moon, where there is no air, a feather and a rock fall together.
