Read up on air resistance to get a better idea of what might happen.
I think this is a great way for a child to actually experience air resistance.
The book gets to the floor first, of course, because air resistance holds up the paper.
At most speeds, much of the power to drive the car is spent on air resistance.
As there is no air resistance on either object they hit the ground at the same time.
Air resistance is determined by a number of things one being surface area.
Small leaves do fall to the ground faster because of less air resistance.
Just as important to air resistance is the shape of the moving object.
The only concern with light objects is when the affect of air resistance will take effect.
This is due to air resistance and a little friction.
If the club heads get much bigger than they are now, wind resistance could be a problem.
In addition, factors such as wind resistance reduce overall system efficiency.
She did the same, trying to cut her wind resistance.
First, we need to eliminate wind resistance from the discussion.
Once the balls are moving through the air, they experience a force from wind resistance as well.
The design cut down on wind resistance and thus improved fuel efficiency.
With such strong wind resistance, it requires much more power to overcome that force and increase top speed.
There were no concerns about wind resistance and drag in those days.
It has about the same wind resistance as a conventional bicycle.
You can probably ignore the effects of wind resistance for a human body falling 51 feet.
