Is gravity on earth greater or less then gravity on mercury?
The gravity on Earth is stronger than the gravity on Mercury.
Which possesses greater gravity Jupiter or earth?
Jupiter. It's gravity is 2.528 times greater than earths.
What is the planet Neptune's gravity?
It is estimated that the gravity on Neptune is 12% greater than Earth
Why does the spinner with longer wings take longer to fall?
The spinner with longer wings has a greater surface area, which increases air resistance and slows down its fall. This air resistance counteracts the force of gravity acting on the spinner, causing it to descend more slowly than one with shorter wings.
Do you think there is more gravity on the sun or earth?
The sun has more gravity because it has more mass. (The greater the mass the more gravity)
Among the feather and the apple which has greater air resistance?
a feather
Which encounters the greater force of air resistance a falling elephant or a falling feather?
A falling elephant encounters a greater force of air resistance than a falling feather does. The force of air resistance can't be greater than the weight of the falling object. When the force of air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object, the object stops accelerating, its falling speed becomes constant, and the force of air resistance doesn't get any bigger. So the force of air resistance against a falling feather can't be greater than the weight of the feather. But the force of air resistance against a falling elephant can be, and undoubtedly is, greater than the weight of a feather.
Explain why a brick and a feather fall in different speed?
A brick falls faster than a feather due to differences in mass and air resistance. The brick has more mass, so gravity exerts a greater force on it, causing it to accelerate faster. Additionally, the feather experiences more air resistance due to its larger surface area, slowing its descent.
Which direction does the parachutist go if gravity is greater than air resistance?
The parachutist will go down, of course. If gravity is greater than air resistance, then the parachutist would accelerate (his speed would increase). This would increase air resistance, up to the point where gravity and air resistance are in balance.
When air resistance is greater than force of gravity what will be the effect of force?
When air resistance is greater than the force of gravity acting on an object, it will slow down the object's descent. This is because the air resistance force counteracts the force of gravity, reducing the acceleration of the object as it falls.
Why does a stone fall faster than a feather?
The difference is in the air resistance. Without air resistance, both will accelerate at the same rate. If there is air, in the case of the stone the ratio of surface area / weight is less than that of a feather. As a result, the stone will slow down less than the feather, and fall faster.
If a skydiver jumps out of a plane which force is greater gravity or air resistance?
Initially, gravity is greater than air resistance, causing the skydiver to accelerate downwards. As the skydiver picks up speed, air resistance increases until it eventually balances out with gravity, leading to a constant speed called terminal velocity.
In free falling resistance is more effective in slowing a feather than a coin why?
Resistance is more effective in slowing down a feather compared to a coin in free fall because of the feather's larger surface area and lower density. The increased surface area of the feather allows for greater air resistance to act upon it, slowing it down more effectively than the denser and smaller coin.
What is the friction of air?
friction in air is called air resistance. When a feather falls through the air, it is slowed down by this air resistance. as gravity pulls the feather down to the earth, air resistance pushes it up. gravity almost always wins, however, when the feather gets enough acceleration to overcome air resistance. the mass of the object effects the amount of air resistance. a feather has low mass, therefore is slowed down by air resistance. A rock has much mass, therefore air resistance doesn't effect it as much. this is why a rock appears to fall "faster" than a feather. take the rock and feather on the moon (something the Apollo astronauts did) and they fall at the same rate.
How can a feather fall faster than a marble?
A feather can fall more slowly than a marble in air due to differences in their size, shape, and air resistance. The greater surface area of a feather compared to a marble causes more air resistance, which slows down the feather's fall. A denser object like a marble will fall faster than a less dense object like a feather because it overcomes air resistance more effectively.
In freefall do heavier objects fall with a greater acceleration than lighter objects?
No, in the absence of air resistance, all objects fall with the same acceleration due to gravity, regardless of their mass. This is described by the principle of equivalence, which states that gravitational mass and inertial mass are equivalent.
A penny and a feather that are dropped from the same height at the same time will?
fall at different rates due to differences in their mass, size, and air resistance. The penny will fall faster because it has more mass and therefore experiences a greater force due to gravity. The feather, on the other hand, will fall slower due to its larger surface area and greater air resistance.
