As a falling object accelerates through air, its speed increases and air resistance increases. While gravity pulls the object down, we find that air resistance is trying to limit the object's speed. Air resistance reduces the acceleration of a falling object. It would accelerate faster if it was falling in a vacuum.
It reduces the acceleration of the falling object due to friction.
The event that occurs when materials are dropped is known as free fall. During free fall, objects accelerate towards the Earth due to gravity, experiencing a constant acceleration of approximately 9.81 m/s². This phenomenon can be observed in various contexts, from everyday objects falling to specialized experiments in physics. Factors such as air resistance can affect the motion of the falling materials, but in a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass.
Yes, an object's acceleration remains constant regardless of the height from which it is dropped. However, the object will achieve a higher velocity when it lands after being dropped from a higher altitude due to its longer time in free fall.
Acceleration is a change in velocity. More precisely, to get acceleration, you divide the change in velocity, by the time that passed.Acceleration is a change in velocity.

The force on a body determines its acceleration, speed depends on how long the acceleration lasts. Wind resistance and road friction (or other mechanical drag) will affect the power required to maintain a certain speed.
Air resistance causes friction and slows an object.
It reduces the acceleration of the falling object due to friction.
Air resistance creates friction and slows a falling object.
False. Free falling objects accelerate at a rate of 9.8 m/s^2 due to the force of gravity acting on them. The force of friction and air resistance do not significantly affect the acceleration of free falling objects in a vacuum.
Mass does not affect the rate at which objects fall in a vacuum - they all fall at the same rate, regardless of their mass. However, in the presence of air resistance, objects with larger mass may experience slightly slower acceleration due to the resistance force acting on them.
The force of acceleration (gravity) the drag (resistance which is a complex factor including shape, density, surface structure, viscosity of the medium through which the object is falling, etc. )
Two factors that greatly affect air resistance on falling objects are the size and shape of the object. Smaller objects and objects with a more streamlined shape experience less air resistance compared to larger or less aerodynamic objects.
It slows the acceleration - possibly down to zero @ "terminal velocity".
Slows an object down or speeds one up.
No. If there's any difference in the acceleration of different falling objects, it's the result of air resistance. If you could drop them through a space with no air, the lightest feather and the heaviest rock would have the same acceleration. It's called the acceleration of gravity, and it's 9.8 meters (32.1 feet) per second2 on earth. Regardless of the mass of the falling object.
Yes mass affects the gravitational acceleration between objects. But air resistance doesn't affect the gravitational acceleration, it only affects the net acceleration of the objects concerned. According to Newton's Law of Gravitation the gravitational force between two or more objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
No, changing the mass of a free-falling body does not affect the value of the acceleration due to gravity. The acceleration due to gravity is a constant value that is independent of the mass of the object. All objects fall at the same rate in a vacuum due to gravity.
