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.
Why doesn't changing an object's shape or size affect it's density?
No, size doesn't affect an object's shape because it's the same unit and material.
How does the shape of an object affect whether it sinks or floats?
The shape of an object needs to be such that the overall density of the object is less than that of the medium in which it is placed
How does changing the shape of an object affect its mass?
It doesn't.
Does the shape of an object affect its movement?
In air, yes. In vacuum, no.
Does the shape affect the way an object falls?
In air, yes. In vacuum, no.

how does mass affect the shape of an object?
Why does the shape of an object falling affects the time that it takes to hit the ground?
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.
How do the velocities of unbalanced weights compared?
When dropped the mass of an object does not affect the rate at which it falls. The size and shape may affect the wind resistance which affects falling velocity but heavier objects will not fall faster than lighter objects with all other variables constant.
Will a shape of an object affect how fast it falling?
In air, yes. In vacuum, no.
How does the mass of an object affect time?
When viewing it the objec . Changes shape
What do you call it when an object falls into the water and rings form around it?
it is called a water ring and it forms because of the force that the rock falls at and the shape
