true
False. When the only force acting on a falling object is air resistance, it is not considered to be in free fall. Free fall occurs when an object falls solely under the influence of gravity with no other forces acting upon it.
true
No, that is false. "Free fall" means that the only force acting on an object is GRAVITY. Specifically, there may be no significant amount of air resistance. It's not quite possible for the only force acting on an object to be air resistance, since you can't really eliminate the effect of gravity. Though, if the object has the same density than the liquid or gas in which it is placed, the gravity may be cancelled for practical purposes.
Technically, its false.... Terminal Velocity is defined as "the constant maximum velocity reached by an object falling through the atmosphere under the attraction of gravity". The crash is simple a result of and the conclusion to the fall....
True. Objects falling through the air experience air resistance, which is a type of friction that opposes the motion of the object.
False. Free falling objects accelerate at a rate of 9.8 m/s^2 due to the force of gravity acting on them. The force of friction and air resistance do not significantly affect the acceleration of free falling objects in a vacuum.
Air- resistance is basically a type of friction between an object and the air
True. The overall net force acting on a falling leaf is due to the gravitational force pulling it downward and the air resistance pushing against it as the leaf falls through the air.
A. True. Objects falling through the air experience air resistance, which is a type of friction that opposes the motion of the object.
false
False. Balanced forces acting on an object will not change the object's velocity. When forces are balanced, there is no change in the object's velocity as there is no net force acting on the object.
False. Gravity is always acting on an object, but when an object floats on water, the buoyant force provided by the water is equal to the gravitational force acting on the object, causing it to float rather than sink.
