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.
The two force acting on falling object are gravity and?
air resistance.
What is the net force acting on a freely falling 1-kg ball if it encounters 2 N of air resistance?
The idea is to calculate the downward force of gravity, and then subtract the air resistance, since it acts in the opposite way. This assumes that the ball falls directly downward.
The overall net force acting on a leaf falling is due to the gravitational force and air resistance exerted on the leaf true or false?
True. The overall net force acting on a falling leaf is due to the gravitational force pulling it downward and the air resistance pushing against it as the leaf falls through the air.
When the only force acting on a falling object is air resistance?
The word "falling" implies there is a gravitational force also. As the object gains speed, the air resistance ("drag") increases, until it equals the gravitational force. After that there is no net (resultant) force, so the object goes at constant speed.

What is the net force acting on a 12-N falling object when it encounters 12-N of air resistance?
The net force would be zero, which means the falling object would no longer be accelerating, and would be falling at terminal velocity, which is a constant velocity. Weight is a downward (negative) force and air resistance is an upward (positive) force. Fnet = weight + air resistance = -12N + 12N = 0N
The two force acting on falling object are gravity and?
air resistance.
What force acts on a object?
The forces acting on a falling body are gravity and air resistance.
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
When the only force acting on force a falling object is air resistance the object is said to be in free fall?
True (:
What is the net force acting on a freely falling 1-kg ball if it encounters 2 N of air resistance?
The idea is to calculate the downward force of gravity, and then subtract the air resistance, since it acts in the opposite way. This assumes that the ball falls directly downward.
What other force must be acting on the kite to stop it from falling?
Air resistance would be one.
When a 25 n falling object encounters 15 n of air resistance the net force on it is.?
25-15= 10n
What is also known as the drag force acting on a falling sky diver is?
It's also known as the force of air resistance.
