Bikes cars and other moving objects experience air resistance as they move.Air resistance is caused by the frictional forces of the air against the vehicle. The faster the vehicle moves the bigger the air resistance becomes.

Explain why a brick and a feather fall in different speed?

A brick falls faster than a feather due to differences in mass and air resistance. The brick has more mass, so gravity exerts a greater force on it, causing it to accelerate faster. Additionally, the feather experiences more air resistance due to its larger surface area, slowing its descent.


How does size affect the speed of a falling parachute?

The larger the size of the parachute the more air resistance is caused because its larger surface traps more air. Becuase there is more air resistance the larger the parachute the slower it travels to the ground. The smaller the parachute the faster it falls to the ground for the opposite reason.


Does the ball have more air resistance when its going faster or slower?

The ball experiences greater air resistance when it is going faster due to increased drag force. This is because at higher speeds, there is more air flowing past the ball, leading to a larger resistance force acting in the opposite direction of its motion.


Which ball will have a greater air resistance when the ball are dropped?

A larger ball will experience greater air resistance when dropped because it has a greater surface area interacting with the air. Air resistance is proportional to the surface area of an object, so the larger ball will slow down faster than a smaller ball when dropped.


Acts against the direction of motion and gets larger as an object moves faster?

Air resistance


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).


Why do smaller particles move faster in water?

Smaller particles have less mass, so they experience less resistance from the water molecules. This allows them to move faster through the water compared to larger particles which have more mass and therefore experience more resistance.


Which falls faster a quarter or feather?

In a vacuum, a feather and a quarter would fall at the same rate due to gravity's influence. However, in normal conditions with air resistance, the feather falls slower since it has a larger surface area, creating more air resistance.


Why would a small parachutes fall fastest?

A small parachute would fall faster then a larger one because there is less air resistance trying to push the small one up but the larger one has a lot of air resistance because there is more area for the air to push up. Hope this helped :P


What is the relationship between the diameter of axon and conduction velocity?

There is a positive relationship between the diameter of an axon and its conduction velocity. Larger axon diameters result in faster conduction velocities due to decreased resistance to ion flow. This relationship is described by the principle of "the larger the diameter, the faster the conduction."


Why does a rock fall faster to the ground than a feather?

A rock falls faster than a feather due to differences in their mass and air resistance. Air resistance affects the feather more than the rock due to its larger surface area and lighter mass, causing the feather to fall more slowly.


How would you explain in detail why a larger cowbell has a lower pitch than a smaller cowbell of the same size?

Because the space inside the bell is larger there is room for more vibrations and a faster frequency to occur
