What two forces act on all falling objects in the earths atmosphere?

Gravity and Resistance
Under free fall, the only force acting upon an object is the force of gravity. But realistically, there is also the force of friction from the air (Air Resistance) that opposes the force of gravity.

What objects experience large gravitational forces?
Large dense objects, and the closest objects.
How does the moon and the sun effect the earths oceans?
The gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon, effect the earths oceans by forming tides.
What forces does a rocket have to overcome to get out of Earth's atmosphere?
thats for me to know and you to find out
When objects are in orbit what forces hold it there?
The Force (the one the jedis use)
The way in which objects exert forces on each other is described by what?
Force
The forces acting on objects falling near the earths surface are?
Mainly gravity, and air resistance.
What forces act on falling objects?
gravity and drag
What is the cumulative effect of the forces on the objects motion?
The falling object
A body falling through the atmosphere is subject to how many forces?
2 is the answer
What is it called when two or more equal forces act on an object?
falling objects.
Forces acting on a falling object?
Gravity: The pull of two objects on each other.Inertia: Basically something that slows any kind of acceleration or deceleration on a moving object.Yup, those two are the main forces that act on a falling object.
When gravitational forces and air resistance equalize on an object that is falling toward earth and the objects stop accelerating its velocity is called the?
terminal velocity
Greatest velocity a falling object reaches?
On any planet with an atmosphere, gravity is counteracted by the force of air friction with the object that is falling. This is known as terminal velocity - the point at which the forces of air resistance and gravity balance.
What force stops a plate falling through the table?
The electromagnetic forces holding molecules together within the table provide a mesh like structure that prevents the molecules of other objects protruding (or falling) through it!
What forces act on a falling object?
The forces acting on a falling body are gravity and air resistance.
What effect do balanced forces have on the motion of objects?
Balanced forces do not alter the motion of objects.
What force is responsible for everyday forces?
GravityGravity is the attraction between two objects. Since the earth is huge we are attracted to the earth and so are most things that we live with today. There are certain gases that are not held by the earths gravity. These gases are very light and float out of the atmosphere. A balloon would be a good example... its filled with Helium.
