What are some examples of air resistance and gravitational force?
1. when you drop a feather and a hammer the feather falls slower than the hammer
Why does the feather and the hammer land at the same time on the moon and diffrent times on the earth?
Because the moon has essentially no atmosphere, there would be no drag on the feather when it falls. On earth, it would be quite a different matter. The significant surface area of the feather means that as it falls, the friction of the air on it provides significant opposing force to it as it falls. In the case of a falling hammer, the opposing force of air friction on the hammer is negligible compared to the force of gravity on it since the hammer is much heavier than the feather. Since there would be no drag on either item when dropped on the moon, the only force acting on either would be gravity and their acceleration would be only that of gravity with no opposing force to slow them down as they fell.
Which force makes a feather fall to the ground more slowly than a stone?
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.
When did Shining Force Feather happen?
Shining Force Feather happened in 2009.
When was Shining Force Feather created?
Shining Force Feather was created on 2009-02-19.
When a hammer hits a nail how does the force on the nail compare to the force on the hammer?
The force of the hammer is much greater than the force of the nail. Gravity pulls down the hammer, hits the nail, and the nail forces up, but the force of gravity wins over the force pulling on the nail.
A feather with no net force on it maintains constant?
In physics, net force refers to the overall force acting on an object. A feather with no net force on it maintains constant velocity.
Hammer for what it is used for?
A hammer is used to apply force
A hammer hits a nail the action to be the impact of the hammer on the nail what is the reaction?
The hammer exerts a force on the nail; the nail exerts a force on the hammer.
What is a feather with no net force on it maintains constant?
a feather with no net foce maintians constant what?
Greatest velocity of a falling objecy?
The greatest velocity any object can have on earth is it's terminal velocity. That means when the force of gravity is eventually overcome by the force of air resistance of the falling object. An example of this would be that a falling feather reaches its terminal velocity much quicker (and therefore falls much slower) than something that is more dense and aerodynamic, such as a bowling ball or a baby.
Where is the effort force when a nail is being pulled out by a hammer?
The effort force is where you are holding the hammer to pull the nail.
