What is the net force that acts on a 10N falling object when it encounters 4N of air resistance?

The net force is the difference between the 10N falling object and the 4N of air resistance
So you solve 10N-4N is 6N

Which encounters the greater force of air resistance a falling elephant or a falling feather?
A falling elephant encounters a greater force of air resistance than a falling feather does. The force of air resistance can't be greater than the weight of the falling object. When the force of air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object, the object stops accelerating, its falling speed becomes constant, and the force of air resistance doesn't get any bigger. So the force of air resistance against a falling feather can't be greater than the weight of the feather. But the force of air resistance against a falling elephant can be, and undoubtedly is, greater than the weight of a feather.
When a 25 n falling object encounters 15 n of air resistance the net force on it is.?
25-15= 10n
What is the net force acting on a 12-N falling object when it encounters 12-N of air resistance?
The net force would be zero, which means the falling object would no longer be accelerating, and would be falling at terminal velocity, which is a constant velocity. Weight is a downward (negative) force and air resistance is an upward (positive) force. Fnet = weight + air resistance = -12N + 12N = 0N
What is the direction of air resistance on a falling object ?
Just like any other source of friction, air resistance effectively results in a force opposite to the object's motion. If the object is falling, then the force is upward.
When the only force acting on force a falling object is air resistance the object is said to be in free fall?
True (:
The force air exerts on a falling object is known as?
air resistance
What force opposes the downward motion of falling object?
Air resistance
What 2 principal factors affect the force of air resistance on a falling object?
The shape of the object and the density of the gas that the object is falling through.
When the only force acting on a falling object is air resistance?
The word "falling" implies there is a gravitational force also. As the object gains speed, the air resistance ("drag") increases, until it equals the gravitational force. After that there is no net (resultant) force, so the object goes at constant speed.
What is the upward force that acts on an object that is falling through the air?
Air resistance.
A 20 N falling object encounters 4 N of air pressure what is the magnitude of the net force on the object?
The object experiences 20 newtons pulling it down due to gravity. But it also experiences 4 newtons air resistance pushing it up. 20 - 4= 16 newtons net downward force on the object.
What force acts on a object?
The forces acting on a falling body are gravity and air resistance.
