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.
What are the two characteristics of a free-falling object?
there arent any.
The only force acting on a falling object is gravity the object is said to be?
The object is said to be in free fall.
What is a falling object on which gravity is the only force?
An object falling freely under gravity is known as a free-falling object, where gravity is the only force acting on it. In the absence of other forces like air resistance, the object accelerates at a constant rate of 9.8 m/s^2 (approximately) towards the Earth's surface.
Would a parachutist be considered a free falling object and why?
The falling of a parachutist without his parachute deployed will be quite fast. We can slow his decsent by putting a drag on the free fall with a parachute. The fall is no longer free of drag (friction).

When is an object to in free fall?
A falling object.
What are the two characteristics of a free-falling object?
there arent any.
What is the acceleration of a falling object?
The acceleration of a falling object is called gravity. A free-falling object has an acceleration of 9.8 m/s/s when going downward on Earth.
The only force acting on a falling object is gravity the object is said to be?
The object is said to be in free fall.
In free fall when the air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object we say that the object has reached velocity?
In free fall, when the air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object, we say that the object has reached ________ velocity.
What are the characteristics of a free falling object?
weight and drag
What are characteristics of a free falling object?
weight and drag
What are the characteristics of a free-falling object?
weight and drag
What is the meaning of Free Falling?
Let's imagine there is no air resistance and that gravity is the only thing affecting a falling object. Such an object would then be in free fall. Freely falling objects are affected only by gravity
When the only force on a falling object is gravity the object is said to be?
In free fall
When the only force acting on a falling object is the object is in free fall?
Gravity.
