It depends on the shape of the object. A spherical object will fall faster than a rectangular object. This is untrue if they are placed in a vacuum.
Air resistance acts in the direction opposite to the motion of a falling object, slowing it down. The faster an object moves through the air, the greater the air resistance it experiences. This force ultimately affects the speed and trajectory of the falling object.
It reduces the acceleration of the falling object due to friction.
No
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.
Air resistance creates friction and slows a falling object.
In free fall, when the air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object, we say that the object has reached ________ velocity.
You're fishing for "air resistance" but your description isn't correct. Air resistance doesn't "slow" a falling object. Once the object has built up to some particular speed of fall, air resistance prevents it from falling any faster.
As a falling object accelerates through air, its speed increases and air resistance increases. While gravity pulls the object down, we find that air resistance is trying to limit the object's speed. Air resistance reduces the acceleration of a falling object. It would accelerate faster if it was falling in a vacuum.
The shape of the object and the density of the gas that the object is falling through.
It's all about the air resistance that the object receives as it falls in an atmosphere. The air has to move around the object as it falls, if it's allowed to move smoothly aroundyam object by the objects shape then the force of the air resistance is lower. This allows the object to fall faster.
Just like any other source of friction, air resistance effectively results in a force opposite to the object's motion. If the object is falling, then the force is upward.
No, we have no influence on that.
