How does the shape of an object affect the rate at which it falls - slide4?

The shape of an object affects the wind resistance that will press against the object, slowing it as it falls.


What factors affect the rate of object falls through air?

The force of gravity will affect the rate of falling in air. As will the aerodynamic shape of the object. And assuming that the air is not moving with or against the direction of fall.


Does the size of an object affect the rate at which it falls?

Only if it's falling through air. If it's just the falling object and gravity, then no.


Does the shape of an object affect the rate at which it falls?

yes in air or liquid. The shape determines the opposing force (friction) encountered. A flat object will fall in a tumbling manner, because the opposing force is mostly likely acting at a an angle to the fall and the angle is changing with the inclination of the object. Even a baseball will spin because of the unevenness of how friction acts on the surface facing down.


How does the horizonal motion of an object affect the rate that it falls?

It doesn't. In air, the object may 'fall' at a different rate, depending on any aerodynamic qualities it may have, but otherwise an object will fall at the same rate without respect to it's lateral motion. Of course, unless the object is in a vacuum, its aerodynamic qualities, however limited, will impact the rate at which it falls.


What opposing forces act on an object falling freely through the atmosphere?

The forces that affect the rate of a falling object are Gravity and Air Resistance. Gravity affects the speed and the velocity of the object by speeding it up as it falls closer to the earth, and Air resistance works against the object pushing against it.


Did newton find the rate which an object falls?

No.


Rate at which an object falls through air?

wala


How does the force of friction for a sliding object vary with speed?

The friction can make you slow down , but if you lose friction you will go at a faster rate of speed


If an object falls with constant acceleration the velocity of the object must?

Changing at a constant rate equal to acceleration.


Why interest rate has no affect on the aggregate demand?

The interest rate does affect aggregate demand. As the interest rate falls, aggregate demand increases and vice-versa.


Which scientist found that the rate at which an object falls is related to its mass?

Whoever he was, he fell directly into well-deserved oblivion, and his name isno longer mentioned. The reason for that is simply that he was wrong. Therate at which an object falls is not related to its mass.
