What are the effects of gravity if an object is dropped in the water?
There is no change in the effect of gravity. However, water is more dense than air, so an object will fall through the air faster than it will fall through water. But it will still fall in the water......it's just that gravity has to fight against the added density of the water.
Why rain occurs when drops of water fall through air?
It's just the way clouds release excess water.
According to Aristotle why does a drop of water fall through the air and not the ground?
I think it is because the air force is pulling it up (up thrust) pulls it up.
Does water affect how fast something falls?
Yes, however, even air affects how fast something falls. The weight of the water is what causes buoyancy (certain materials to float), and and the resistance of water plays a small role - the weight of the water being the larger role - in what causes other materials to fall slower than they would through air. There are actually certain things that are buoyant in the air, like helium. You will notice that if you let all the air out of your lungs, you will fall down through the water at a certain (very slow) speed. That speed is your terminal velocity through water. The terminal velocity of an average sized human through the air is about 55.6 m/s (200 kph or 124 mph). This speed is obviously much higher than the speed at which something falls through water. So water does affect haw fast something falls. "But wait, certain objects appear to fall through the water at the same speed that they fall through the air!" To explain this, water affects how fast something falls - compared to how fast it falls through the air - depending on its density. The object which you're talking about, is actually falling slower through the water, you just can't tell. We see this property in air too, why do you think a pound of feathers falls much slower than a lead weight?
What occurs when rock fragments fall freely through the air?
Free fall
What are droplets that fall from the sky?
airRain are water droplets that fall from the sky.If it is very cold, or there are layers of vary cold air that the rain passes through on the way down, the water droplets can become snow or balls of hail.
What is the type of friction that occurs when objects fall through the air?
Air resistance is.
What is the force that slows a parachutist down as they fall through the air?
Air Resistance or friction with the air.
What is the force that slow a parachutist down a they fall through the air?
Air Resistance or friction with the air.
Why is it easier to walk through air than through water?
It is easier to walk through air than in water because air is thinner and water is much more dense.
Does sound travel quicker through air or water?
through air.
Would sound travel faster through water or through air?
sound travels faster through water than air.
