The feather falls slower because it has air restistance. The air pushes up on it. The rock falls faster because it's mass and how it doesn't have air resistance. Also, because toilet seats produce a gas, reacting with the feathers on a feather, making the feather rise.

What force makes a feather fall slowly to the earth?

This is due to the force of viscosity, or better understood as air friction. It is the reason that any object will eventually stop speeding up and reach a terminal velocity. This viscosity force is often described as an expansion: F= av + bv^2 + c v^3 and so forth. Often this is approximated and the only term used is av. For a sphere falling under streamline conditions a=6*pi*viscosity*radius of the sphere. Hope that helps.


Can force stop motion?

if you put force on an object, in the opposite way it is moving. force makes an object with mass accelerate. if the force you put accelerates it enough it will stop spontaneously, or else it will stop slowly. if that first type of motion was created by force, and i mean the force is still forcing the object to move, then u have to put more force to the object in the opposite direction in order to stop it. F= m*a where F = force , m= mass , a= acceleration hope u got ur answer


How can a salmon swims upstream using Newtions Third law of motion?

Fish swim upstream by powerfully thrusting their tails to counteract the current. They are then able to slowly but surely travel upstream.


What is a name of the force that makes it hard for the fabric to start moving?

Gravity is a force which?

Every object has a (small) gravitational force that attracts other objects. The proportion of the Earth - human is so large that we sense this attraction force of the Earth. Gravity is the force which makes our feet stick to the ground!


When you drop a golf ball to the pavement it bounces up. Is a force needed to make it bounce up?

Yes, a force is needed to make the golf ball bounce up after it hits the pavement. When the ball makes contact with the ground, the ground exerts an upward force on the ball, causing it to bounce back up. This force is known as the normal force.
