force hits the object and it changes it velocity or speed and its state of motion or rest , push or pull.
The shape of the object and the density of the gas that the object is falling through.
Acceleration of a falling object is directly proportional tothe force of gravity in the object's location.
force hits the object and it changes it velocity or speed and its state of motion or rest , push or pull.
The impact force depends upon the height from which it has fallen (IE- its velocity upon impact), and the duration of impact (determined by the elasticity of the collision). However, the object exerts no force upon the ground *while* falling.
A falling object accelerates at a rate of 9.8 m/s2. That means that for every second that it is falling, its velocity increases by 9.8 m/s. The higher that the object is falling from, the longer it will have to speed up, thus the higher its velocity upon impact will be. (This is assuming that it does not reach terminal velocity, the velocity at which an object can no longer accelerate because it is travelling so fast that the drag force (air resistance) is equal to the force of gravity.)
Gravity is a force that accelerates the falling object towards the ground.
When THE FRICTION BETWEEN THE OBJECT AND THE ATMOSPHEREequals the force of gravity on a falling object the object reaches terminal velocity.
Gravity is forcing an object to fall to the ground. Another force is friction from air pressure on the falling object.
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.
Because of force
The acceleration of gravity is 32 feet per second, per second. This means that --eliminating any obvious aerodynamic considerations as there would be with, say, a feather -- the speed at which an object falls increases proportionately to the time it is falling. An object falling from a greater height will be falling for a longer time period and thus will reach a higher velocity and impact the ground with a greater force than one falling from a lower height.
Not a question.
