Mass acceleration and air resistance are related by Newton's second law of motion. As an object accelerates, air resistance acts in the opposite direction, slowing down the object. The greater the air resistance, the more it counteracts the acceleration of the object.
The acceleration of a rocket depends on the thrust produced by the engine and the mass of the rocket. A higher thrust will result in greater acceleration, while a higher mass will decrease acceleration. Air resistance can also affect acceleration, with lower air resistance allowing for greater acceleration.
Yes. Neglecting the effects of air resistance, all objects near the surface of the earth fall with the same constant acceleration, regardless of their mass/weight.
The acceleration of the skydiver can be calculated using Newton's second law: F = ma, where F is the force of gravity - air resistance, m is the mass of the skydiver, and a is the acceleration. The acceleration will depend on the exact value of air resistance acting on the skydiver.
Drop a pound of feathers (in a bag) and a pound of lead from a height. The smaller mass of the lead will let it fall faster due to less air resistance, than the greater mass and much greater air resistance of the feathers.
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.

If we disregard air resistance; they both have identical acceleration under gravity. If we take air resistance into account, then the mass that is fired will be de-accelerating slightly, so if you calculate the overall acceleration it will be slightly lower than the mass that is dropped.
Yes. Neglecting the effects of air resistance, all objects near the surface of the earth fall with the same constant acceleration, regardless of their mass/weight.
The weight of an object is defined as the force acting on it due to gravity. This force is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2 on Earth). So, weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity.
The acceleration of the skydiver can be calculated using Newton's second law: F = ma, where F is the force of gravity - air resistance, m is the mass of the skydiver, and a is the acceleration. The acceleration will depend on the exact value of air resistance acting on the skydiver.
Well, the more the air resistance, the lower the acceleration.
Drop a pound of feathers (in a bag) and a pound of lead from a height. The smaller mass of the lead will let it fall faster due to less air resistance, than the greater mass and much greater air resistance of the feathers.
Air resistance decreases the acceleration of a falling leaf from a tree. As the leaf falls, air resistance opposes its motion, slowing it down. This results in a lower acceleration compared to if the leaf were falling in a vacuum with no air resistance.
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.
True. In free fall, all objects experience the same acceleration due to gravity regardless of their mass or air resistance. The acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s^2.
It reduces the acceleration of the falling object due to friction.
An object will maintain a constant acceleration as long as the net force acting on it remains constant. This net force takes into consideration changes in mass, applied force, and air resistance. Any change in these factors will result in a change in acceleration according to Newton's second law of motion.
