When an object falls through the air and encounters air resistance it's overall speed will be what?
When an object falls through the air and encounters air resistance, its overall speed will decrease compared to if it were falling in a vacuum. Air resistance creates a force in the opposite direction of motion which slows down the object.
Is it possible for a falling object to have a positive acceleration?
Yes, it is possible for a falling object to have a positive acceleration if it is undergoing free fall near the surface of the Earth and experiencing a net force greater than gravity (e.g., air resistance). This can cause the object to accelerate in the direction of its motion despite falling downward.
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.
Does a falling object that is falling towards the earth exert a smaller force on the earth than the force exerted by the earth onto the object?
No, according to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. So, the force exerted by the object on the Earth is equal in magnitude to the force exerted by the Earth on the object.
What is the only force acting on a freely falling object?
Gravity is forcing an object to fall to the ground. Another force is friction from air pressure on the falling object.
When a 25 n falling object encounters 15 n of air resistance the net force on it is.?
25-15= 10n
What is the net force that acts on a 10N falling object when it encounters 4N of air resistance?
The net force is the difference between the 10N falling object and the 4N of air resistance So you solve 10N-4N is 6N

How do you find the magnitude of a free falling object?
force= mass (kg) x acceration(m/s2) meters per second sq.

Why do falling objects accelerate at first?
Falling objects accelerate due to the force of gravity acting upon them. As the object falls, the force of gravity pulls it downward, increasing its speed. This acceleration continues until the object reaches terminal velocity or encounters another force counteracting gravity.
Which name is given to the of friction that objects falling through air experience?
air resistance
The two forces acting on a falling object are gravity and what?
The two forces acting on a falling object are gravity and air resistance. Gravity pulls the object downward, while air resistance acts in the opposite direction to slow down the object as it falls through the air.
Describe a place where a falling object would feel less drag than it would in your classroom?
A falling object would have less drag than in a classroom in a low pressure environment (higher up) or in a space or a vacuum, but then it's not really falling. Hope this clarifies.
