Which force makes a feather fall to the ground more slowly than a stone?

The feather falls slower because it has air restistance. The air pushes up on it. The rock falls faster because it's mass and how it doesn't have air resistance. Also, because toilet seats produce a gas, reacting with the feathers on a feather, making the feather rise.

What force makes a feather fall slowly to the earth?
This is due to the force of viscosity, or better understood as air friction. It is the reason that any object will eventually stop speeding up and reach a terminal velocity. This viscosity force is often described as an expansion: F= av + bv^2 + c v^3 and so forth. Often this is approximated and the only term used is av. For a sphere falling under streamline conditions a=6*pi*viscosity*radius of the sphere. Hope that helps.
Can force stop motion?
if you put force on an object, in the opposite way it is moving. force makes an object with mass accelerate. if the force you put accelerates it enough it will stop spontaneously, or else it will stop slowly. if that first type of motion was created by force, and i mean the force is still forcing the object to move, then u have to put more force to the object in the opposite direction in order to stop it. F= m*a where F = force , m= mass , a= acceleration hope u got ur answer
How can a salmon swims upstream using Newtions Third law of motion?
Fish swim upstream by powerfully thrusting their tails to counteract the current. They are then able to slowly but surely travel upstream.
What is a name of the force that makes it hard for the fabric to start moving?
the name of the force is called friction
A machine makes work easier by reducing force and increasing what?
By increasing productivity and reducing the force, a machine makes work easier. They also last longer than people and do not require pay.
What force that makes a feather drop slower than a hammer on earth?
Air resistance.
Which force makes a thrown ball fall back to the ground?
Gravity is the force which makes a thrown ball fall back to the ground. It is the force which attracts all objects to the Earth.
What is the force that makes things fall to the ground called?
That is the force of gravity.
What makes it move faster as it approaches the ground?
force of gravity
Why does a coin and a feather fall with different accelerations in the presence of air?
The structure of the feather makes it catch the air and fall more slowly than the coin. Refer to the related link for the Apollo 15 mission to the moon, which has no atmosphere, in which an astronaut drops a hammer and a feather at the same time.
Is it true or false that the force that makes an apple fall to the ground is the same force that keeps earth orbiting the sun?
It's true its called gravitytrue

Gravity is a force which?
Every object has a (small) gravitational force that attracts other objects. The proportion of the Earth - human is so large that we sense this attraction force of the Earth. Gravity is the force which makes our feet stick to the ground!
What force makes a car move forward?
an equal static frictional force from the road /\ common answer is that the engine makes the car go forward but, it is the engine that makes the wheels go around but if the tires are on slick ice or deep mud, they just spin. Friction is also needed. On firm ground, the tires push backwards against the ground because of friction. By Newton's 3rd law, the ground pushes on the tires in the opposite direction, accelerating the car forward.
What makes a pillow soft?
A pillow is soft if its filled with goose feather.
