Best Answer

Acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s.

If you hold your hand steady and drop the rock, its downward speed

after 3 seconds is (9.8 x 3) = 29.4 m/s.

If you throw it down and it leaves your hand with a speed of 'S', then

its downward speed after 3 seconds is (S+29.4) m/s.

How does the weight of a falling body compare with the air resistance it encounters before it reaches terminal velocity?

The weight exceeds the force of air resistance, but as the speed increases the air resistance increases, so the net force (weight - air resistance) falls. When the difference becomes zero the acceleration ceases and you have terminal velocity.


When an object falls through the air encounters air resistance its overall speed will be than if it had not encountered air resistance?

The resistance do obstruct the object. The object always travel slower with air resistance. Air resistance is higher with velocity and the object falling through air would have a limited velocity that it can't go through.


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.


Why parachutists do not fall with constant accelerating motion?

Due to air resistance as the resistance is directly proportional to the speed but at certain speed called transitional speed or critical speed the resistance become directly proportional to square the speed so the resistance increase decreasing the falling speed.


How does the weight of a falling body compare with the air resistance it encounters after it reaches terminal velocity?

If its speed of fall is no longer changing, then its acceleration is zero. That tells you that the forces on it must be balanced, so the upward force of air resistance must be exactly equal to the downward force of gravity.

If a Rock is dropped off a cliff with an initial speed of 0 ms What is the rock's speed after 3 seconds in ms if it encounters no air resistance?

speed is decided by v = a(t), where t is your time variable and a is your acceleration constant. after 3 seconds, your velocity v = (9.8m/s2)(3s) = 29.4m/s


Suppose a rock is dropped off a cliff with an initial speed of 0 miles per second What is the rocks speed after 3 seconds in miles per second if it encounters no air resistance?

The acceleration of gravity is 32.1 ft/sec2 .After 3 seconds, the rock's downward speed is (3 x 32.1) = 96.3 ft/sec.(96.3 ft/sec) x (1 mi / 5,280 ft) = (96.3 / 5,280) (ft - mi / sec - ft) = 0.0182 mile/sec (rounded)


When an object falls through the air and encounters air resistance its overall speed will be?

Terminal Velocity. This is the velocity at which the accelaration from Earth's gravity and the drag from air resistance reaches equillibrium.


Factors affecting movement?

Three factors that affect movement are friction, wind resistance, and velocity. Friction is the resistance that a single object encounters when moving over another object. Velocity is speed, and wind resistance is the opposing force on an object.


How does the weight of a falling body compare with the air resistance it encounters before it reaches terminal velocity?

The weight exceeds the force of air resistance, but as the speed increases the air resistance increases, so the net force (weight - air resistance) falls. When the difference becomes zero the acceleration ceases and you have terminal velocity.
