The two forces acting on a falling object are gravity and what?
Air pressure.
What happens when two or more forces affect an object at the same time?
When two or more forces affect an object at the same time it creates a net force.
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.
What two forces are acting on an object that is falling?
The force of gravity, which pulls it down; and friction forces, which pull it up.
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.
Two forces that can affect an object's velocity?
Gravity and friction.
Name the two forces that can affect an object's velocity?
friction and gravity
What two Forces Have to Be equally strong in order for a falling object to reach terminal velocity?
Gravitational force and the force of friction (the friction of the object and the air).
The force that pulls falling toward earth is called?
The force that pulls an object toward earth also pulls the earth toward the object. The two forces are equal. Together, we refer to them as the forces of gravity.
Describe two forces that can affect an objects velocity?
Friction and Gravity are the two forces that affects an object's velocity. Friction is caused by both air and the surface on which an object is moving. Gravity is caused by Earth.
Does position affect velocity?
Sometimes. If an object is falling, it's position relative to the Earth, will affect its velocity. Between two parallel electric plates, the velocity of an charged oil drop is independent of its position (more or less).
