If a 1 kg ball and a 5 kg ball of the same size are dropped from a height of 3 m at the same tims above the ground and air resistance is considered, will they fall at the same rate and why?
If a 1 kg ball and a 5 kg ball of the same size are dropped from a height of 3 m at the same tims above the ground and air resistance is considered, will they fall at the same rate and why?
The air resistance of a falling object depends on the area of the cross-section. Therefore more the area more the value of air resistance(air resistance is always opposite to the motion of the object)
If a 1 kg ball and a 5 kg ball of the same size are dropped from a height of 3 m at the same time above the ground . Since both 1 kg ball and 5 kg ball have the same area, they have equal cross-sectional area and the same air resistance acting on them. So both balls will fall at the same time.
