Does air resistance affect the motion of a falling object differently when the initial velocity of the object is greater?

Yes. Even greater. Air resistance or drag becomes harder the faster an object goes. This is why when cars reach their max speed they don't accelerate as fast, because they are pushing harder against the wind. If I take a tennis ball and shoot it down a bottomless pit, a 400 kph, the drag will slow the ball down till it reaches terminal velocity.

Depends on the object. Is it round? Is it a cube? Air resistance all depends on what kid of surface the object shows when it is falling, thus you have parachutes to stop your velocity from making you go splat.

The children at the local park think the slide is too slow. There is too much fiction. What could you do to decrease the amount
igor_vitrenko [27]
In order to decrease the friction on the slide,
we could try some of these:

-- Install a drippy pipe across the top that keeps continuously
dripping olive oil on the top end of the slide.  The oil oozes
down the slide and keeps the whole slide greased.

-- Hire a man to spread a coat of butter on the whole slide,
every 30 minutes.

-- Spray the whole slide with soapy sudsy water, every 30 minutes.

-- Drill a million holes in the slide,and pump high-pressure air
through the holes.  Make the slide like an air hockey table.

-- Keep the slide very cold, and keep spraying it with a fine mist
of water.  The water freezes, and a thin coating of ice stays on
the slide.

-- Ask a local auto mechanic to please, every time he changes
the oil in somebody's car, to keep all the old oil, and once a week
to bring his old oil to the park, to spread on the slide.  If it keeps
the inside of a hot car engine slippery, it should do a great job
keeping a simple park slide slippery.

-- Keep a thousand pairs of teflon pants near the bottom of the ladder
at the beginning of the slide.  Anybody who wants to slide faster can
borrow a set of teflon pants, put them on before he uses the slide, and
return them when he's ready to go home from the park.

A solid, homogeneous sphere with a mass of m0, a radius of r0 and a density of rho0 is placed in a container of water. Initially
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

a) s,f,r  b) r c) f

Explanation:

To determine what happens with the sphere we use Newton's second law with the Archimedes principle that states that the thrust (B) on a body is equal to the weight of the liquid dislodged

For the sphere to be in equilibrium the sum of forces is zero

    B - W = 0

    B = W = mg

Now let's use the concept of density for the body and water

Solid sphere

   ρ = m / V

  V = 4/3 π r³

   m = ρ₀ (4/3 π r³)

   W = ρ₀ (4/3 π r³) g

Water  (a)

   ρ = mₐ / Vₐ

   mₐ = ρ Vₐ

   B = ρ Vₐ g

Let's replace and simplify

   ρ Vₐ g = ρ₀ (4/3 π r³) g

    ρ Vf = ρ₀ (4/3 π r³)            (1)

For the initial condition with rho, mo and ro the height of the water is H, let's analyze each case

a) We have the same mass, but less radius, as density is mass over volume density increases

   r  <ro        V <V₀   ⇒      ρ₁> ρ₀

When analyzing the equation (1) on the right side, this case is the most complicated because I can make the relationship between the density of the sphere and its volume change even when the mass is constant

Assume the three possibilities

- The product of (ρ₁ V) that does not matter in that case the left side does not change and the mark remains the same (s)

- The product (ρ₁ V) increases the left side must increase so the mark goes up (r)

- The product (ρ₁ V) decreases the left side should go down, so the low mark (f)

b) sphere the same radius, but the density increases.

In this case the right side of the equation (1) increases, therefore the left side must increase so that the volume must increase and consequently increase the height (r)

c) you have the same radius, but the mass decreases

      r = r₀     V = V₀     m <m₀        ρ₁ <ρ₀

The right side of the equation decreases, because the density decreases, the left side must decrease, for this the volume must decrease, lowering the height (f)
