What will happen if you drop a piece of paper a feather and a balloon?
they will all fall
Why do lighter objects fall slower than heavy objects?
It doesn't. But what makes a book fall faster (seemingly) than a feather or piece of paper (lets say) is air pressure, and the way it is shaped.
No air resistance what would fall first a baseball or a piece of paper?
Robert boyle conducted an experiment using a bullet and a feather inside a vacuum container it proved gallileos theory that everything drops at the same speed
Why paper will slowly fall but the coin will fall quickly?
Because the flat side of the paper is pushing all the air around it. It has nothing to do with their weights. If they were falling through a space with no air in it, a feather and a truck would fall together and hit bottom at the same time.
Why does a flat piece of paper fall slower than a crumbled piece of paper?
A flat piece of paper has a larger surface area, creating friction with the air, or more air resistance. There is more air surrounding the piece of paper, and this slows it down. A crumpled piece of paper has less surface area to create friction, meaning less air resistance. This causes it to fall faster.
Will the bowling ball and piece of paper fall at the same rate?
If you stand at the top of the bowling alley with a feather in one hand and a bowling ball in the other and drop them at the same time, the bowling ball will hit the parking lot first because wind currents will cause the feather to drift slowly.
What is the meaning of knock you down with a feather?
it means that you have been so shocked that if someone tapped you with a feather you would fall down
Why does a crumpled piece of paper fall faster than a flat piece of paper?
The ball presents less Surface Area to the air than a flat sheet. So, there is less air resistance when a thin piece of paper is crumpled into a ball.
Why would a feather and an elephant fall at the same time in a vacuum?
Because a feather has more air resistance, it normally falls slower, but in a vacuum, there is not air resistance so they fall at the same rate. Think of it as a feather and an elephant falling in space.
Why does a crampled piece of paper fall faster than a uncrampled paper?
It accelerates faster because it has less air resistance.
If a book and a piece of paper is falling at different rates how can you change the shape of the paper so they will nearly fall at the same rate?
you can crumple up the paper
How much faster does a crumpled paper fall than a flat sheet show a video?
Because there is less surface area on the crumbled piece of paper, there is less area upon which the force of friction (air resistance) may act. There is more surface area on the normal piece of paper, which allows friction to act over a greater area on the paper. More air resistance causes the flat piece to fall slower.
