On Earth, a feather falls more slowly than a hammer due to air resistance. The feather is impeded more by the air than the Bowling ball is. In a vacuum, such as outer space, there is no air and thus no air resistance. In this environment, all objects fall at the same rate, regardless of their shape or mass.
What else can I help you with?
If the gravitational force between the earth and object always causes the same acceleration why does a feather fall more slowly than a hammer does?
The feather falls more slowly than the hammer due to air resistance. The feather has a larger surface area-to-mass ratio, which causes more air resistance compared to the hammer, falling at a slower speed. Without air resistance, both objects would fall at the same rate due to experiencing the same gravitational force.
A feather will fall to the ground more slowly than a brick because of what?
The resistance of the air.
A feather will fall through the air more slowly than a brick because of what?
gravity
A feather will fall through the air more slowly than a brick because of?
because feather's weight is negligible as compare to force of gravityA feather will fall through the air more slowly than a brick because it is lighter than a brick and it's small fur on it will slow it down
A feather will fall through the air more slowly that a brick because of?
because of air resistance
How do a feather and hammer hit the ground at the same time?
In a vacuum, where there is no air resistance, both a feather and a hammer would fall and hit the ground at the same time due to gravity affecting them equally. However, in the presence of air, the feather experiences more air resistance than the hammer, causing it to fall slower.
What would fall faster a feather or a piece of paper?
In a vacuum, a feather and a piece of paper would fall at the same rate due to gravity. However, in Earth's atmosphere, the feather would fall more slowly due to air resistance.
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.
Why does a feather fall through the air more slowly than a brick?
It is slowed down by air resistance.because feather's weight is negligible as compare to force of gravityA feather will fall through the air more slowly than a brick because it is lighter than a brick and it's small fur on it will slow it down
Which has more inertia hammer or feather?
A hammer would hit the ground first because a hammer is heavier
Why does a rock fall faster to the ground than a feather?
A rock falls faster than a feather due to differences in their mass and air resistance. Air resistance affects the feather more than the rock due to its larger surface area and lighter mass, causing the feather to fall more slowly.
If there is no air resistance does a feather still fall more slowly than an apple?
Yes it does. Because the apple is still heavier and will get more gravitional pull. And the feather will still weigh less.
