How does resistance affects an falling object?
It depends on the shape of the object. A spherical object will fall faster than a rectangular object. This is untrue if they are placed in a vacuum.
Does the shape of an object affect the rate of it's fall?
In air, yes. In vacuum, no.
Is an object in free fall with less air resistance fall with a greater acceleration?
No, an object in free fall experiences the same acceleration due to gravity regardless of its shape or size. Air resistance does not affect the acceleration due to gravity acting on the object.
How far will 70kg fall in 0.3 seconds?
It has been known since the 16th century that the mass of an object is irrelevant to how far it will fall. The main factor influencing the rate of fall is the shape of the object and, therefore, the air resistance (or buoyancy).
Does the shape of an object affect the rate at which it falls?
yes in air or liquid. The shape determines the opposing force (friction) encountered. A flat object will fall in a tumbling manner, because the opposing force is mostly likely acting at a an angle to the fall and the angle is changing with the inclination of the object. Even a baseball will spin because of the unevenness of how friction acts on the surface facing down.
How does the shape of an object affect the rate at which it falls - slide4?
The shape of an object affects the rate at which it falls due to differences in air resistance. Objects with larger surface areas experience more air resistance and fall more slowly than objects with smaller surface areas. Objects with streamlined shapes experience less air resistance and fall more quickly.
Why does the shape of an object falling affects the time that it takes to hit the ground?
It's all about the air resistance that the object receives as it falls in an atmosphere. The air has to move around the object as it falls, if it's allowed to move smoothly aroundyam object by the objects shape then the force of the air resistance is lower. This allows the object to fall faster.
Do the object of the same shape but different mass fall at the same rate?
in a vacuum, yes, all objects would fall at the same rate, but otherwise no due to air friction
Do all objects fall toward the end of the earth?
Yes, objects fall towards the center of the Earth due to gravity. This is true regardless of the object's size, mass, or shape.
What would be the shape of a speed versus time graph for an object in free fall?
The graph is a straight line whose slope is the acceleration of gravity.
What factors affect the rate of object falls through air?
The rate at which an object falls through air is affected by factors such as its weight, the air resistance acting on it, its shape, and its surface area. Heavier objects generally fall faster due to gravity, while air resistance can slow down the fall of objects with larger surface areas or irregular shapes.
If an object is dropped from a given height does the object fall in a straight line towards the Earths core OR is it's path changed in any way by the influence of the rotation of the Earth?
It depends on your point of observation. It may appear to curve if you are stationary with respect to the surface of the Earth, though with respect to the travel of the object it will (with ever-so-slight perterbations by the sun, moon, etc.) fall directly toward the center of the Earth.
