-- There is no formula for the object.
-- If you can ignore the effects of air resistance, then there are formulas for the
object's height, speed, acceleration, time spent falling before reaching a certain
height, and time spent falling before reaching a certain speed. All of the formulas
are different.
-- If you can't ignore the effects of air resistance, then there are different formulas
for each of those quantities. But the formulas involve the size, shape, weight, and
surface composition of the object, and each formula is several lines long.
Such an object is said to be in "free fall".
An object is free falling when the only force acting on the object is gravity.
A falling object will continue to accelerate when free falling, but each object has a maximum speed which it can reach (but go no faster than this speed) when free falling from great heights. True.
The effect of gravity on ANY object - falling or not - is to pull it downward. If the object is in free fall, it will accelerate downwards.
On Earth, a free-falling object has an acceleration of 9.8 meters per second2.
A falling object.
Such an object is said to be in "free fall".
An object is free falling when the only force acting on the object is gravity.
The acceleration of a falling object is called gravity. A free-falling object has an acceleration of 9.8 m/s/s when going downward on Earth.
A falling object will continue to accelerate when free falling, but each object has a maximum speed which it can reach (but go no faster than this speed) when free falling from great heights. True.
The effect of gravity on ANY object - falling or not - is to pull it downward. If the object is in free fall, it will accelerate downwards.
In free fall, when the air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object, we say that the object has reached ________ velocity.
Everything falls at the same speed so there is no free falling object If everything falls at the same speed then everything is a free falling object... Air resistance or deflection controls the falling speed of any object, this crucial stipulation determines falling speed. I leanred this in flight school.. please someone intelligent communicate with me?
Let's imagine there is no air resistance and that gravity is the only thing affecting a falling object. Such an object would then be in free fall. Freely falling objects are affected only by gravity
