Why does a feather having a mass of 9 grams fall from a table to the floor slower than a 9 gram ping pong ball falling the same distance?

this is because of air resistance which increases with surface area of feather. however if there is no air resistance (only vacuum) both feather and ball will fall together.

Does Speed increase as distance increases for the same time?
If you travel less distance in the same time, you are traveling slower.
How is the falling time of a parachute affected by the shape of the parachute?
if the parachute is wider there will be more air resistance which slows things down and if there are holes the air can pass through which decreases air resistance. so the wider it is the slower it is.the lighter it is the slower it is
How many kilometres in 40 minutes?
That depends how fast you're going. If you're traveling at an average 60 kph, you'll cover 40 km in 40 minutes. Faster, more distance. Slower, less distance.
If an object has a higher speed will it cover the same distance in more or less time than a slower object?
Less. Think about it. Why might you run to catch a bus or a ball?
One car is 2x the mass of the other Suppose the slower car crashes a horizontal distance of 10 m from the ledge Then at what horizontal distance does the faster car hit?
Does... not... compute... Too many missing variables, or just a poorly written question.
Why does a feather falling through the air slower than a brick?
Wind resistance. In a vacuum, feathers and bricks fall at same speed.
Why would a feather and an elephant fall at the same time in a vacuum?
Because a feather has more air resistance, it normally falls slower, but in a vacuum, there is not air resistance so they fall at the same rate. Think of it as a feather and an elephant falling in space.
What are some examples of air resistance and gravitational force?
1. when you drop a feather and a hammer the feather falls slower than the hammer
What force that makes a feather drop slower than a hammer on earth?
Air resistance.
What can you do to make a marble go slower than a feather?
stick to something immovable with glue.
Greatest velocity of a falling objecy?
The greatest velocity any object can have on earth is it's terminal velocity. That means when the force of gravity is eventually overcome by the force of air resistance of the falling object. An example of this would be that a falling feather reaches its terminal velocity much quicker (and therefore falls much slower) than something that is more dense and aerodynamic, such as a bowling ball or a baby.
Will a car and a hat falling at the same height hit the ground at the same time?
no unless in a totally controlled condition because a feather falls slower than a brick air resistance and many other factors are taken into affect it can also depend on the weight of the hat, and the angle of the hat when dropped.
Why do lighter objects fall slower than heavier objects?
In a vacuum. like in outer space, all substances fall at the same rate. Here on earth, the rate of falling is influenced by air resistance. A feather has 'way more air resistance than a ball of steel, for example, so falls slower.
Why is the stopping distance slower on a dry road?
frition force act on it
Does distance effect rate o diffusion?
Yes if the distance that the molecule has to travel is long then the rate of diffusion will be slower.
Does having long hair make you grow slower in height?
No
Does having a lot of apps on your iPod make it run slower?
No
