This is due to the force of viscosity, or better understood as air friction. It is the reason that any object will eventually stop speeding up and reach a terminal velocity. This viscosity force is often described as an expansion: F= av + bv^2 + c v^3 and so forth. Often this is approximated and the only term used is av. For a sphere falling under streamline conditions a=6*pi*viscosity*radius of the sphere. Hope that helps.
IF that's happening, then the reason is that air resistance affects the motion
of the feather more than it affects the motion of the tennis ball. If you drop
them in a tube that has no air in it, then the feather and the tennis ball ... or
even a Bowling ball or a rock for that matter ... will accelerate at the same
rate and hit the bottom at the same time.
Since a feather is so light-weight, it falls so gently. almost able to float
It has less mass and because it is thiner so there is less friction
2 miles per hour
it has less mass so it has less air resistance
Because they have less mass in them
The feather falls slower because it has air restistance. The air pushes up on it. The rock falls faster because it's mass and how it doesn't have air resistance. Also, because toilet seats produce a gas, reacting with the feathers on a feather, making the feather rise.
The Earth exerts the greatest gravitational force on you because it is the most massive object you are closest to. The Earth exerts a force equal to your weight. The other objects exert gravitational forces but are not very noticeable because they are either low in mass or separated from you by great distance.
if you put force on an object, in the opposite way it is moving. force makes an object with mass accelerate. if the force you put accelerates it enough it will stop spontaneously, or else it will stop slowly. if that first type of motion was created by force, and i mean the force is still forcing the object to move, then u have to put more force to the object in the opposite direction in order to stop it. F= m*a where F = force , m= mass , a= acceleration hope u got ur answer
Fish swim upstream by powerfully thrusting their tails to counteract the current. They are then able to slowly but surely travel upstream.
The legend is that Newton made the connection between the 2 questions when he watched the falling apple ........... Newton realized that the same unbalanced force affected the motions of the apple and the moon.It all has to do with gravity. The moon pulls the waves with the force pulling up or rising the waves, well the apple is brought to the ground with the force or the gravity on Earth.Legend says that Newton, said that the force that made the apple fall from the tree, makes earth fall from the sun and the moon fall from the earth. This force operates throughout the Universe and is a Universal Force..

It is due to gravity AND the earth turns slowly. The gravity has a force which makes you look like standing straight and if you're a Vietnamese, you'll be standing sideways because the "force" of gravity is doing its job.
The name of the force that makes the earth orbit the sun doesn't start with ' C '. The force that does it is the force of gravity.
Gravitation force makes the Earth move around the sun and also makes the moon go around the Earth. Our weight is the gravitational force of the Earth acting on us. For example; the gravitational force of the moon is about one-sixth that of the Earth.
actually the space shuttle, the astronauts, etc. are NOT weightless and experiencing zero gravity. They are slowly, the key word being slowly, falling back toward the Earth. The Earth has an enormous gravitational force. the shuttle doesn't fly near far enough away from the Earth to escape it.

The structure of the feather makes it catch the air and fall more slowly than the coin. Refer to the related link for the Apollo 15 mission to the moon, which has no atmosphere, in which an astronaut drops a hammer and a feather at the same time.
