What forces act on a flying object?
gravity and air resistance depending on its environment. However in a vacccum the air resistance is equal to zero
Why then do some objects fall through the air at a different rate?
Air Resistance increases with velocity.So, as the velocity of a falling object increases, Air Resistance increases until it is equal to Gravity.
What two forces are equal when an object is at its terminal speed?
Gravity and air resistance
When does an object reach its terminal velocity?
When the force of gravity is equal to the force of air resistance.
What is air resistance and what are the two factors that air resistance depends on?
Air Resistance is a force.

In free fall when the air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object we say that the object has reached velocity?
In free fall, when the air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object, we say that the object has reached ________ velocity.

Gravity and air resistance
When does an object reach its terminal velocity?
When the force of gravity is equal to the force of air resistance.
A feather is in freefall when the force of gravity is greater than the force of air resistance is equal to the force of air resistance is less than the force of air resistance is the only force acting?
"Free fall" means that gravity is the only force acting on a body.
How powerful is air resistance?
aprroximately 9.81 Newtons as the upwards and downwards forces must balance and the acceleration of free-fall is 9.81 newtons therefore the air resistance must be equal.
How do you figure terminal velocity?
That's the velocity at which the force of air resistance is equal to the force of gravity.
What is air resistance and what are the two factors that air resistance depends on?
Air Resistance is a force.
What is it called when the forces of air resistance and gravity are equal in a falling object?
Terminal velocity see link
The upward force of an ojbect falling through the air is?
Once the object reaches terminal velocity, the air resistance is equal to the gravitational pull.
What force slows objects moving through the air?
Air resistance
