How does air resistance affect the acceleration of a falling object-How does air resistance affect the acceleration of a falling object?
It reduces the acceleration of the falling object due to friction.
Does weight affect speed?
It depends... the object could be falling, going straight, going uphill or going downhill.
What 2 principal factors affect the force of air resistance on a falling object?
The shape of the object and the density of the gas that the object is falling through.
In free fall when the air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object we say that the object has reached velocity?
In free fall, when the air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object, we say that the object has reached ________ velocity.
What are characteristics of a free falling object?
weight and drag
What are the characteristics of a free falling object?
weight and drag
What are the characteristics of a free-falling object?
weight and drag
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 weight of an object affect the falling speed?
Yes, the weight of an object does affect its falling speed. Heavier objects will typically fall faster than lighter objects due to gravity exerting a stronger force on them. However, in the absence of air resistance, all objects will fall at the same rate regardless of weight, as demonstrated by Galileo's experiment at the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Does water affect the weight of an object the same thing as does submerging something in water affect the weight of an object?
Yes, when the object is submerged in water then water exerts opposite buoyonci force which decrease the weight of object.
When air resistance balances the weight of an object that is falling the object has reached?
When air resistance balances the weight of an object that is falling, the object has reached terminal velocity. At this point, the object falls at a constant speed without accelerating further due to the opposing forces being balanced.
How does gravity make things fall?
The weight of the object causes gravity to take the object falling
