We know that air resistance (or atmospheric drag) is what causes a leaf to fall more slowly than a penny. A large leaf that weighs a much as a penny has a much greater surface area than the penny, and all this surface area means that the leaf has more drag. Though the leaf and penny will be accelerated by the same amount of force (because they have the same mass), the leaf will present all that surface area to the air, and this will set up a condition of high drag.
What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the force that causes blocks to fall?
Gravity is the force that causes blocks and objects to fall towards the Earth.
What force causes an object to fall once it is released?
Gravity causes an object to fall to Earth.
What force made the feather fall slowly?
Air resistance or drag force is the force that made the feather fall slowly. As the feather falls through the air, the air molecules collide with it, creating resistance that slows down its descent.
What force causes object in free fall?
The force that causes an object in free fall is gravity. Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects with mass, pulling them towards each other. In the case of free fall, gravity is the force that causes objects to accelerate towards the Earth.
What force causes a paperclip to fall into a tray?
The force of gravity causes the paperclip to fall into the tray. Gravity is the natural force that pulls objects toward the center of the Earth.
What is an unbalanced force which causes objects to fall?
Gravity
What kind of force causes the coin to fall?
Gravity is the force that causes the coin to fall. Gravity pulls objects toward the center of the Earth, which is why the coin drops to the ground when released.
What force causes the coin to fall to the ground and describe it?
The force that causes the coin to fall to the ground is gravity. Gravity is a natural force that pulls objects towards each other, in this case, the coin towards the Earth. It is responsible for the acceleration of objects in free fall.
What force causes the paper clip to fall into a tray?
Gravity
What is a natural force that causes rocks to fall or roll?
Gravity
Will it fall slowly or quickly?
It will fall fast if it is heavy and slow if it is light because the gravitional force is pulling it down to earth
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.
