∙ 9y agoWhen air resistance is greater than the force of gravity acting on an object, it will slow down the object's descent. This is because the air resistance force counteracts the force of gravity, reducing the acceleration of the object as it falls.
-- The force of gravity is unchanged before and after.-- The force of air resistance on the skydiver is greater before, and less after,because she is falling slower after the parachute opens.-- The effect on her of air resistance is greater after the parachute is open. Theincreased air resistance itself acts on the parachute, and its effect is transferredto the skydiver through her harness.
a larger mass. The force of gravity is directly proportional to the mass of an object. Therefore, the greater the mass, the greater the gravitational force acting on the object.
Yes, gravity exerts the same force on all objects regardless of their mass. Objects fall at the same rate of acceleration due to gravity, known as 9.81 m/s^2 near Earth's surface, leading to all objects falling at the same speed in a vacuum.
Initially, gravity is greater than air resistance, causing the skydiver to accelerate downwards. As the skydiver picks up speed, air resistance increases until it eventually balances out with gravity, leading to a constant speed called terminal velocity.
Air resistance acts in the opposite direction to gravity, slowing down the motion of objects falling through the air. This resistance increases with the speed of the object, eventually balancing out the force of gravity and causing the object to reach a terminal velocity.

simple, the larger the planet, the greater the force of gravity.
"Free fall" means that gravity is the only force acting on a body.

It doesn't. The force of gravity depends on the masses involved, and their distance. However, air resistance can introduce other forces, that counteract the force of gravity.

The moon pulls with greater force on the Earth's oceans due to its closer proximity and its gravitational effect known as tidal force. The gravitational force between the moon and the Earth causes the tides we observe on Earth. The sun also contributes to tides, but to a lesser extent compared to the moon.

Gravity, air resistance, force produced by the spinning of the ball.
An object does not move downwards under the effect of gravity if the forces acting upwards on the object (such as air resistance or buoyancy) are equal to or greater than the force of gravity pulling it downwards.
