The shape of the object and the density of the gas that the object is falling through.
It reduces the acceleration of the falling object due to friction.
Two factors that greatly affect air resistance on falling objects are the size and shape of the object. Smaller objects and objects with a more streamlined shape experience less air resistance compared to larger or less aerodynamic objects.
Air resistance creates friction and slows a falling object.
-- gravity -- air resistance
Air resistance causes friction and slows an object.
Air resistance and gravity are the main components.
The three main factors that affect resistance in a circuit are the material the wire is made of, the length of the wire, and the cross-sectional area of the wire. Other factors, such as temperature and temperature coefficient of resistance, can also impact resistance.
The force of acceleration (gravity) the drag (resistance which is a complex factor including shape, density, surface structure, viscosity of the medium through which the object is falling, etc. )
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.
The factor that does not affect the resistance of a material is the color of the material. Resistance is primarily determined by factors such as the material's dimensions, temperature, and composition.
Factors that increase speed of a falling object:HEIGHT - The longer an object is in the air the more speed it gains due to gravityGRAVITY - The strength of the acelleration due to gravity (eg the moon is different to earth)STARTING VELOCITY - The speed the object starts at.Factors that decrease the speed of a falling object:AIR RESISTANCE - Air resistance is a major factor however it in itself is dependant on the air pressure around the object and the surface area of the object.
constant force down (newtons) = mass (kg) * acceleration due to gravity ((m/s)/s) > variable force up (newtons) = velocity2 * drag coefficient > terminal velocity is where forces balance
