How fast does a person free fall?
A person in free fall accelerates at a rate of 9.8 m/s^2 due to gravity. The average terminal velocity for a human in free fall is around 120 mph (193 km/h). However, this can vary depending on factors such as body position and air resistance.
How does gravity affect weight mass microgravity and free fall?
Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards each other; weight is the measure of the gravitational force acting on an object’s mass. In space or during free fall, objects experience microgravity, where they appear weightless because they are in a state of continuous free fall. However, the mass of the object remains the same regardless of the gravitational force affecting it.
Near earth's surface an objects free fall acceleration increases as its do weight have anything to do with acceleration?
Near earth's surface one object's free-fall acceleration is the same as every other object'sfree-fall acceleration. The number is 9.8 meters (32.1 feet) per second2.Weight, mass, size, volume, density, age, color, or cost have nothing to do with free-fall acceleration.If an object falls with a smaller acceleration, it's only because air has gotten in the way, and the objectis not in 'free' fall.
What is weight and weightlessness?
Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity, typically measured in newtons or pounds. Weightlessness, on the other hand, occurs when an object is in free fall and experiences no gravitational force, resulting in a sensation of floating. This often happens in environments like space or during a state of free fall.
What is meant for free fall?
Technically, an object is in free fall when the only force acting on it is its own weight. Non-technically, people refer to objects falling through the atmosphere as being in free fall even though the force caused by the object's interaction with the atmosphere is working against its weight. Anything in orbit is in free fall, even though it can go for billions of years without ever "completing" its fall, due to its momentum.
How does skydiving fell?
i felt like i was floating during free fall
What type of G forces are felt during a free fall drop?
Negitive
Why are gases weightless?
they are not. if anything has mass, it has weight (unless in free fall).
If weight is added to a object will it go fast or slow?
Depend on if you are talking a "free-fall" or an object descending the side of a mountain. Free-fall all objects regardless of weight fall at the same rate of speed (36 feet per second).
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.
How fast does a person free fall?

Why an astronaut in a space shuttle feels weightless?
"Weight" happens when the attraction of gravity on a mass is resisted, we only FEEL the weight when we are resisting gravity. Weightlessness therefore happens when gravity is not resisted - when you are in "free-fall".In a space when you are in orbit round the Earth, you are effectively in "free-fall" and therefore as you are not resisting gravity you are weightless (but not massless).
How does gravity affect weight mass microgravity and free fall?
Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards each other; weight is the measure of the gravitational force acting on an object’s mass. In space or during free fall, objects experience microgravity, where they appear weightless because they are in a state of continuous free fall. However, the mass of the object remains the same regardless of the gravitational force affecting it.
What is a feeling of weight lessness in orbit called?
Free fall. The acceleration is perfectly balanced by the force, so it feels like being completely at rest, with everything else moving.
Why did Galileo perform his free fall experiment?
To find out whether the weight of the object changed the speed at which it fell.
What is the weight of a satellite in orbit?
Technically, a satellite in free-fall (and orbit is a special case of "free-fall") is effectively weightless. What we call weight is the force of the RESISTANCE to gravity; I "weigh" 220 pounds because I an standing on the Earth. The satellite has its own mass, and this can be anything from "tiny" to "enormous".
If you were to weigh yourself in an elevator that is in free fall would you weigh more?
Free fall means the upward acceleration of air resistance cancels out the downward acceleration of gravity, leaving only your mass. If you're confused about the difference between mass and weight: Weight = (mass) * (gravity (9.8 m/s^2)) Mass = weight/gravity
