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

2 answers:

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.

7) Se calcula dividiendo distancia entre tiempo

sveta [45]

Answer:

A) Rapidez

Explanation:

Speed is a scalar quantity and it is found by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken.

Speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$

Distance is the length of path covered whereas time is the duration of the travel.

Unlike velocity which is a vector, speed is a scalar quantity with only magnitude but no direction.

In which situation will the friction between an object and the surface on which it is moving be decreased? a. the object is push

lawyer [7]

d. the surface on which the object is moving is made smoother

This is called lubrication, I think ...

b. the weight of the moving object is decreased

If there is less araea of contact because of the weight reduction ("squeezing together") then this could also have an effexct. I thinl though the thrust of the q is on lubrication = oil, talcum powder, thin films of water etc
