What factors affect the rate of object falls through air?
The force of gravity will affect the rate of falling in air. As will the aerodynamic shape of the object. And assuming that the air is not moving with or against the direction of fall.
Who said that objects fall at the same rate of speed and challenged the teachings of the church?
Galileo said any two objects in a vacuum will fall at the same rate.
Do objects that are the same size fall at the same rate?
Yes. And objects with different sizes, masses, and weights also fall the same.
What are the factors that affect the rate of fall?
Gravity and resistance (friction). Friction will only come into play on a fall from a long distance. This will be in the form of air resistance. If you are falling a short distance, gravity is the only force. The fastest you will be able to fall is at a rate of 9.81 ft/s^2.
Who preformed many experiments to measure the rate at which objects fall?
Galileo
How does a vacuum affect the rate at which objects fall?
It slows them down
How does weight affect an object when falling?
All Objects fall at the same rate in a vaacume, no matter the weight.
How do gravity affect any pair of objects?
the object with the greater mass will fall to the ground first. if you think of a hammer and a feather the hammer will obviously fall first. unless your in a vacuum. then the objects fall at an equal rate!
Does the distance between two objects effect its rate of fall?
If the two objects are not interacting, then the rate of fall would be unaffected.
What factors affect the rate of mechanical weathering?
factors that affect the rate of mechanical weathering?
What are the factors which affect rate of diffusion?
the factors which affect rate of diffusion is the factors that mixing one substance to another.
What factors affect the rate of return of an investment at maturity?
What factors affect the rate of return of an investment at maturity?
What factors affect the rate of object falls through air?
The force of gravity will affect the rate of falling in air. As will the aerodynamic shape of the object. And assuming that the air is not moving with or against the direction of fall.
What factors affect the rate weathering?
Some factors that affect the rate of weathering are the type of rock, the altitude and the climate.
Who found (discovered) that objects of different mass and weight fall at the same rate?
Who found (discovered) that objects of different mass and weight fall at the same rate
Who said that objects fall at the same rate of speed and challenged the teachings of the church?
Galileo said any two objects in a vacuum will fall at the same rate.
Why heavier objects fall faster than do lighter objects?
They don't. All objects fall at the same rate of speed because of weight.
