What else can I help you with?
What would happen if you dropped a hammer and a feather here on earth?
The hammer would fall faster than the feather due to gravity, regardless of air resistance. In the absence of air resistance, both would hit the ground at the same time in a vacuum, as demonstrated in a vacuum chamber experiment on the Moon by astronaut David Scott in 1971.
What would happen if your in space with no atmosphere and you dropped a feather and a hammer?
They would both float if you had no gravity.
Why did the feather and the hammer land the same time on the moon and different times on the earth?
The Earth has an atmosphere and the moon doesn't, so a falling feather on Earth runs into quite a bit of air resistance which slows it down much more than a hammer. On the moon, there is no air resistance.
How are scientists able to make predictions?
You assume that things that happened repeatedly in a certain way in the past will happen the same way under the same conditions in the future. If you throw a ball up in the air 500 times and it comes down 500 times, you then predict that if you throw a piano into the air it will come down as well. If you throw a helium balloon up in the air for the first time, you might predict it will also come down. When it does not, this means the theory must be rejected or changed to explain what is different this time. If you have a hydrogen balloon and throw it into the air, you might predict that since your helium balloon did not come down and hydrogen is more similar to helium than it is to a piano, then the hydrogen balloon will keep going as well.
Why does the feather and the hammer land at the same time on the moon and diffrent times on the earth?
Because the moon has essentially no atmosphere, there would be no drag on the feather when it falls. On earth, it would be quite a different matter. The significant surface area of the feather means that as it falls, the friction of the air on it provides significant opposing force to it as it falls. In the case of a falling hammer, the opposing force of air friction on the hammer is negligible compared to the force of gravity on it since the hammer is much heavier than the feather. Since there would be no drag on either item when dropped on the moon, the only force acting on either would be gravity and their acceleration would be only that of gravity with no opposing force to slow them down as they fell.
When did Angel's Feather happen?
Angel's Feather happened in 2005.
Which has more air resistance a feather or marble?
a feather has
Among the feather and the apple which has greater air resistance?
a feather
What has to happen for a feather and a ball to fall at the same rate?
For a feather and a ball to fall at the same rate in a vacuum, they need to experience the same gravitational force acting on them. This means there is no air resistance to slow down the feather, and they can both accelerate similarly due to gravity.
When did Shining Force Feather happen?
Shining Force Feather happened in 2009.
What kind of force opposes the motion of the feather?
Air resistance opposes the motion of the feather. This force is caused by drag as the feather moves through the air, slowing its descent.
What object represents air?
An air balloon or a feather can be used to represent air. The balloon is filled with air and floats, while the feather is light and gets easily carried by the air.
What forces happen when you throw a football in the air?
obviously gravity and air, but other forces i'm not sure of. Just check physicsclassroom.com for additional information.
What shouldn't people who live in glass houses throw?
they shouldn't throw anything except something that weighs less than a feather
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 does the term Tar and Feather mean?
To tar and feather someone is to smear or cover someone (as the Whigs di to the Tories) with tar and throw feathers over them.
What would happen if you dropped a hammer and a feather here on earth?
The hammer would fall faster than the feather due to gravity, regardless of air resistance. In the absence of air resistance, both would hit the ground at the same time in a vacuum, as demonstrated in a vacuum chamber experiment on the Moon by astronaut David Scott in 1971.
