What forces act upon a falling feather?

The obvious is gravity. Wind creates both lift and rotation, both of which create inertia. If the feather tilts, it will also be subject to acceleration and/or velocity loss.


How does the angle of radiation affect the temperature?

The seasonal tilting of the Earth away from the Sun, causes the sunlight to strike the Earth at an angle that means the distance travelled is longer and cooling is increased. This means that Winter occurs in the Northern Hemisphere, and Summer in the Southern Hemisphere, and visa versa when the Earth tilts towards the Sun.


How is a pulley like a lever?

A pulley has an axle or pivot just like a lever has a fulcrum. Just as a lever tilts across a fulcrum and the fulcrum bears all the weight, a pulley rotates around its pivot/axle the same way. So in essence, a pulley is a lever wrapped into a wheel, with its fulcrum in the center.


Why do parachutes have a hole at the top?

Parachutes have a hole in the top to provide a smoother and more controlled ride. Without the hole the only place air has to go is around the edges of the parachute. When the chute tilts a lot of air spill out the high side, which is destabilizing. The hole lets air pass through, so there is always a flow into and through the chute, so it's not trying to spill out the bottom.


what causes shadow length?

The length of an object's shadow is determined by ... -- the length of the object, -- the angle between the object's length and the surface on which its shadow appears, -- the distance between the object and the surface on which its shadow appears, -- the angular size of the light source as seen from the object, -- the angle between the direction to the light source and the normal to the object.
