Best Answer

Gravitation and air resistance.

There could be some electrostatic or magnetic forces there too, but those would

depend on the composition of the object and the nature of what's floating around

in the environment, so they're not always there. Gravitation and air resistance are

always there.

How do forces affect a falling object?

Air resistance and gravity are the main components.


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.


What forces act on a falling object?

The forces acting on a falling body are gravity and air resistance.


Can you able to see all of the forces that affect an object?

no,we can not see all the forces that affect an object.


What opposing forces act on an object falling freely through the atmosphere?

The forces that affect the rate of a falling object are Gravity and Air Resistance. Gravity affects the speed and the velocity of the object by speeding it up as it falls closer to the earth, and Air resistance works against the object pushing against it.


How do balanced forces acting on an object affect its motion. How do unbalanced forces acting on an object affect its motion?

Balanced forces do not change its motion (no acceleration). Unbalanced forces changes the motion of the object (acceleration).


What is the cumulative effect of the forces on the objects motion?

The falling object


Two forces that affect a falling object?

Gravity is one, and I believe that friction is the other. Friction here being caused by the resistance to motion of the fluid the object is falling in. Generally this is termed air resistance or drag and it is related to the object's velocity and cross section as well as the fluid's viscosity.


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.

What are the forces acting on a falling object on earth?

Gravity and air resistance.
