What are examples of force?
- Gravity/weight - Air resistance/drag/friction - Centrapetal force
If the force from the engine is bigger than the force of the air resistance?
The vehicle accelerates, assuming the engine is in a vehicle.
Describe how gravity and air resistance combine when an object reaches terminal velocity?
The faster something moves, the more air resistance is created. So as gravity pulls something faster, the air resistance increases as it's speed does, until the forces of air resistance and gravity are equal, making the object move at a steady pace.
How gravity and air resistance are related to an object's terminal velocity?
Gravity and air resistance (drag) are the two opposing forces acting on the falling body. Gravity causes the object to accelerate (fall faster) while the air resistance causes the object to decelerate (fall slower). At a certain velocity called the terminal velocity these two forces are in balance and there is no change in falling speed.
What is the difference between effort force and resistance force?
by the negative force and the positive force
Why is gravity a bigger force than air resistance?
It isn't, necessarily. But the force of gravity is constant, whereas the force of air resistance depends on how fast you're moving through the air. So when you begin to fall, gravity is stronger, and it makes you fall faster and faster. But as your speed increases, so does the force of air resistance, and eventually, the force of air resistance builds up to be equal to the force of gravity. At that point, you keeep falling, but your speed doesn't grow any more.
What do you get when you subtract the force from resistance from the force of gravity?
Terminal Velocity
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.
Which force on an airplane can also be called a resistance force?
Gravity is the main resistance force on any aircraft. Wind resistance would be second.
Is there a difference between gravity and inertia?
Gravity is the natural force of attraction between two masses. inertia is directly linked to mass and represents its resistance to change of velocity.
What do you get when the force of air Resistance from the force of gravity?
The net force on a following object
What two forces act on all falling objects in the earths atmosphere?
Gravity and Resistance Under free fall, the only force acting upon an object is the force of gravity. But realistically, there is also the force of friction from the air (Air Resistance) that opposes the force of gravity.
Do you get when you subtract the force of air resistance from the force of gravity?
Terminal Velocity
What force changes when a sky diver's parachute opens?
The force that changes is air resistance and the force that stay the same is gravity.
How does shape and air resistance can effect the laws of gravity?
It doesn't. The force of gravity depends on the masses involved, and their distance. However, air resistance can introduce other forces, that counteract the force of gravity.
What happens to the amount of gravity when the masses get bigger or smaller?
The force of gravity is stronger between larger masses, and weaker between smaller masses. That's why there's more force between you and the Earth than there is between you and a bowling ball, for example.
If a skydiver jumps out of a plane which force is greater gravity or air resistance?
Gravity
