The acceleration due to gravity of all objects in free fall is the same. Why, then, do some objects fall through the air at a different rate than others?​

Sagot :

Answer:

Displacement. (I think)

Explanation:

When you observe both a bowling ball and a feather falling to the ground at the same time, you see that the feather falls much slower. This is because the feather displaces the air around it.

Look closer at the feather. Notice that all the feather is are fibers sprouting from the quill. The air moves through these fibers slower and displaces the air around them. this is what helps birds to fly and glide.

Now observe someone in a flight suit. A flight suit has a type of fabric webbing in-between the arms and legs of the wearer. This allows them to glide through the air (when they gain lift) because the higher surface area of a light material displaces the air around it.
