The Question : What effect does shape have in air resistance ?

well is the surface area is larger the more resistance there is to the air

and if the surface area is smaller it allows the air to pass by more easily

Is this statement true or false when Mass and air resistance affect the gravitational attraction between objects?

Mass certainly affects the gravitational attraction between objects; air resistance doesn't.


Do different objects fall at different speeds?

Air resistance


Examples of high resistance and low resistance objects?

Heating elements, but the level of resistance depends on the temperature. i am also trying to find objects however a wind up clock also has different levels of resistance.


Why don't all objects fall to the earth at the same velocity even though the acceleration?

The acceleration is the same for all objects, as long as air resistance is insignificant. After a while, different objects will have different amount of air resistance. Also, even without air resistance, the speed depends not only on the acceleration, but also on how how long the objects are falling.


Does mass and air resistance affect the gravitational attraction between objects?

Yes mass affects the gravitational acceleration between objects. But air resistance doesn't affect the gravitational acceleration, it only affects the net acceleration of the objects concerned. According to Newton's Law of Gravitation the gravitational force between two or more objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.


All objects fall with the same acceleration?

On Earth, all massive objects are subject to the same gravitational acceleration - although air resistance affects different objects differently, so a feather accelerates more slowly than a hammer. But, as was famously demonstrated on the Moon, in a vacuum, both will fall in exactly the same time.


The acceleration due to gracity of all objescts in free fall is the same Why then do some objects fall through the air at a different rate than others?

The acceleration due to gravity is the same, and in an idealized world all objects would fall at the same rate. But we do not live in an idealized world, there are other forces acting on objects as they fall. The most notable one is drag, the air resistance. This affects each object as it falls, giving them different rates of descent.


Experiment to prove acceleration due to gravity is independent of mass?

Repeat Galileo's experiment: drop two objects of different weight, from a tall building. Don't make the objects too small, otherwise, air resistance will interfere with your experiments.Repeat Galileo's experiment: drop two objects of different weight, from a tall building.

Do objects with different masses fall at the same rate?

if all of the forces affecting the objects are the same, then yes (i.e air resistance to a feather).


In freefall do heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects?

no, they fall the same acceleration ( one gravity ) neglecting air resistance; however they may reach different velocities with air resistance.


Do falling objects have air resistance?

Yes falling objects do have air resistance. They have even more if they have a larger surface area.


how do objects fall when there is no air resistance?

In the absence of air resistance (friction) objects will fall at the same speed. Hope this still helps :)
