Describe a place where a falling object would feel less drag than it would in your classroom. Explain your decision using the definition of air resistance.

Question

anonymous · Answer

A place would be in a vacuum, such as a room where all the air has been sucked out so it is like space. There would be no air resistance as there is no air or any particles causing friction on the falling object. That's my guess at least.

same with NoDino

anonymous · Answer

what do you mean of drag? gravity drag that object?

anonymous · Answer

NoDino is correct, but considers only the places where the drag would be zero. The amount of drag due to air resistance would be less anywhere the density of air is less than it is in the classroom -- at the top of a high mountain for example.
