Everything falls at the same speed so there is no free falling object If everything falls at the same speed then everything is a free falling object... Air resistance or deflection controls the falling speed of any object, this crucial stipulation determines falling speed. I leanred this in flight school.. please someone intelligent communicate with me?

When the only force acting on a falling object is gravity?

The gratest velocity a falling objects reaches?

The greatest speed a falling object is known as its terminal velocity. At this speed, the drag force from the air is equal to the object's weight, and so there is no net force to accelerate the object further.


Greatest velocity a falling object reaches?

On any planet with an atmosphere, gravity is counteracted by the force of air friction with the object that is falling. This is known as terminal velocity - the point at which the forces of air resistance and gravity balance.

How do you calculate the volume of an irregular 3D object if you know the surface area of one side and the height?

If the object is irregular you have no hope of calculating its volume from any known dimensions. The easiest way to find its volume is to fill a container full of a liquid (with which the object will not react). Submerge the object in the liquid and collect the liquid displaced. The volume of the displaced liquid, which should be easily measurable, will be the same as that of the object.


How do you determine the buoyancy of an object?

Any object wholly or partially submerged in a fluid experiences an upthrust equal in magnitude to the mass of the fluid displaced by that object. This is known as Archimedes' Principle. Archimedes also stated that for an object floating on a liquid, the weight of the displaced liquid is the weight of the object.


What keeps a falling object from accelerating?

Assuming the object is in free fall the only thing that can keep the object from accelerating in the opposing force of kinetic friction upward by air (known as air resistance).


How do you find mass if density and displacement are known?

Measure the amount of liquid that is displaced by the object in question (you will probably need a graduated cylinder). The amount of liquid displaced is the volume of the object. Then, since you have the volume of the object, you can find the mass of the object. Mass=Density x Volume.


How the density of a regular and irregular objects determined?

Weigh the object. Determine the volume. Divide the mass by the volume to get the density. To get the volume of an irregular shaped object can be challenging especially if there are cavities (holes) in it. submersion in a liquid or powder of known volume might be possible. Measure the difference in the volume of the liquid and the liquid + the object (making sure the object is entirely below the surface of the liquid and that any cavities are filled).


What is change in the velocity of a falling object?

Any change in the velocity of anything is known as 'acceleration'. In the case of a falling object near the Earth's surface, the direction of the velocity is constant, and its magnitude increases by 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second, every second.
