That's like asking "Does the loudness of a sound affect its amplitude ?", or

"Does the number marked on the tag affect the item's price ?"

The rate of fall IS the magnitude of the velocity.

Does horizontal velocity effect the rate of vertical velocity?

No, horizontal velocity does not affect the rate of vertical velocity. Each component of velocity (horizontal and vertical) is independent of the other. They act separately to determine the motion of an object.


How does the presence of air effect the rate at which a body falls?

The presence of air affects the rate at which a body falls because air resistance acts as a force opposing the motion of the falling body, slowing it down. In the absence of air, such as in a vacuum, there would be no air resistance and the body would fall at a faster rate due to gravity.


Does the velocity for each second of free fall increase decrease or stay the same?

The velocity for each second of free fall increases. Due to the acceleration due to gravity, the object in free fall accelerates at a constant rate of 9.81 m/s^2. This means that the object's velocity increases by 9.81 m/s every second.


What is the effect on accelerationif we decreasing velocity?

If velocity is decreasing, acceleration is in the opposite direction of the initial velocity. If the velocity is decreasing at a constant rate, the acceleration is negative, causing deceleration. If the velocity is decreasing while changing direction, the acceleration may be a combination of negative and positive components.


What effect does gravity have on velocity?

Gravity changes the velocity of an object that is in "free fall" (that is, one that is only subject to the force of gravity). Near Earth's surface, this change of velocity due to gravity occurs at a rate of 9.8 (meters / second) / second; usually this is written as 9.8 meters/second2.

How velocity of an object can affect its work?

work is the product of force and displacement As velocity is rate of change of displacement, so yes, velocity does effect work.


Does the distance between two objects effect its rate of fall?

If the two objects are not interacting, then the rate of fall would be unaffected.


How fast can a man fall to earth from airplane?

The fastest rate a human can fall is called terminal velocity. Terminal velocity is when the gravity force upon an object is equal to that of the wind resistance. The normal terminal velocity of a human is around 125 miles per hour.


How do you calculate the point that a dropped coffee filter hits its terminal velocity?

Terminal velocity on earth is static for all objects. A coffee filter being so light would have an effect on how much the friction slows it down, it would not however change its "terminal velocity" in a vacuum it would fall at the same rate as you or I. Approximately 120 MPH.


What is the name of an object in free fall?

Terminal velocity. It is when something falls through a gas or liquid it accelerates, at a decreasing rate, until it reaches its maximum constant velocity.


What is rate of acceleration?

The rate of change of velocity. (As velocity is the rate of change of position.)

How does mass effect velocity?

It doesn't. But velocity does effect mass : as velocity increases, mass increases.


What the concept of free fall?

Free fall means that the body is falling but wihout the effect of gravity. at free fall g=0 and when g=0 then it means body is falling with constant velocity.

The velocity for each second of free fall increases. Due to the acceleration due to gravity, the object in free fall accelerates at a constant rate of 9.81 m/s^2. This means that the object's velocity increases by 9.81 m/s every second.
