Factors that increase speed of a falling object:
HEIGHT - The longer an object is in the air the more speed it gains due to gravity
GRAVITY - The strength of the acelleration due to gravity (eg the moon is different to earth)
STARTING VELOCITY - The speed the object starts at.
Factors that decrease the speed of a falling object:
AIR RESISTANCE - Air resistance is a major factor however it in itself is dependant on the air pressure around the object and the surface area of the object.
What else can I help you with?
Does the density of an object affect the speed?
No, the density of an object does not directly affect its speed. The speed of an object is determined by factors such as the force applied to it and the resistance it encounters, not its density.
What factors influence the motion of a free falling object?
The motion of a free falling object is influenced by the acceleration due to gravity, air resistance, and the initial velocity of the object. The mass and shape of the object can also affect its motion as it falls.
What are the factors that affect the speed of an object in free fall with air resistance?
The factors that affect the speed of an object in free fall with air resistance are the object's mass, the surface area of the object, the density of the air, and the gravitational force acting on the object.
What two factors affect the rate acceraltion of an object?
force and speed
How does force affect a falling object?
force hits the object and it changes it velocity or speed and its state of motion or rest , push or pull.
How are height distance and speed related?
Now, this is in very....basic. It also may not be 100% correct. The higher up you are, the more distance you fall. The more distance you fall, the faster you go. You peak at a certain speed, and will continue falling at that speed once it is reached. The max speed differs in the amount of weight falling. (Proven by an Egg falling, or a Feather falling.)
How does impact force affect a falling object?
force hits the object and it changes it velocity or speed and its state of motion or rest , push or pull.
What affects the speed of a falling object?
The mass of a falling object will affect the speed at which it falls. Additionally, the shape or geometryof that object will also have an effect. The shape of a falling object will have a dramatic effect on the amount of dragthat the object will experience. Consider that a flat piece of cardboard will fall more slowly than a glass ball of the same mass, and it will be more easy to visualize how drag is a function of shape.=======================================Beulah the Buzzer gagged on the first sentence of the response above, andSignor Galileo rotated 2pi in his crypt.The mass of a falling object will NOT affect the speed at which it falls.The remainder of the response above is correct and well stated, provided onlythat the objects are falling through air. If not, then neither their shape nor theirgeometry affects their rate of fall either.
Does weight affect speed?
It depends... the object could be falling, going straight, going uphill or going downhill.
What factors affect the amount of air resistance acting on an object?
shape, size, and speed
What are two factors affect the speed of the moving object?
Two factors that affect the speed of a moving object are the force applied to the object and the mass of the object. The greater the force applied, the faster the object will move. Similarly, objects with less mass will accelerate more quickly when a force is applied compared to objects with greater mass.
Does the mass affect the speed of an object?
It has no direct affect on the speed of an object. It does affect the energy content of the speeding object.
