In free fall the object with less air resistance falls with a greater acceleration.?

False


An object that is thrown vertically upward will return to its original position with the same speed as it had initially if air resistance is negligible if air resistance is appreciable?

As an object rises WITH air resistance, the acceleration is larger in size than g, because both gravity and air resistance will be causing a downward acceleration. As the object FALLS with air resistance, the acceleration will be smaller in size than g, because gravity and resistance will be opposing each other. Because of the smaller acceleration being applied over the same distance, the return speed will be slower than the launch speed.


How does the shape of an object affect how fast it falls?

Different shapes result in different resistances (force opposing gravity) on the object as it falls. An object will continue to accelerate as it falls, until the gravitational force is equivalent to this resistance. This is known as "Terminal Velocity." The lower the resistance is, the higher the resulting speed will be before this equilibrium is reached. An object with a large surface area or volume (high wind resistance value) and low density (low gravitational force) will fall slower than an object that has a lower surface area (low wind resistance) with a higher density (high gravitational force). e.g., A large hollow Styrofoam ball will fall much slower than a metal dart.


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

Changing at a constant rate equal to acceleration.


The speed at which an object falls and the acceleration at which it falls are always the same value.?

false.


What remains constant as an object free falls?

acceleration


An object is falling at its what if it falls at a constant velocity?

rate of acceleration


What happens to the acceleration of an object as it falls through air?

-- If you really mean "falls through the air", then its acceleration steadily decreases. -- If you're actually thinking about an object that's "falling", with no air in the way and no other influence on it except gravity, then its acceleration is constant as it falls.


What factors affect how an object falls?

wind resistance, and gravity, mass does not in any way contribute to how an object falls.


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.


Explain why a man using a parachute falls through air slowly while a stone falls through air very fast?

When an object falls through air, it experiences air resistance. This air resistance is a force that opposes the object's motion. The amount of air resistance an object experiences depends on the object's shape, size, and speed. A man using a parachute falls slowly because the parachute creates a large amount of air resistance. A stone falls very fast because it has a small amount of air resistance.


Object falls at a constant what?

Objects fall at a constant acceleration. For an object on the planet Earth, that acceleration is 9.8m/s^2, or 32ft/s^2.
