The size of the parachute has a direct impact on the forces acting on it. A larger parachute will have a larger surface area, which will result in a higher drag force. This means that a larger parachute will experience more air resistance and therefore, a slower descent. On the other han...
Balanced Forces The vase is resting on the table. It is not moving, therefore the forces must be balanced. Which forces are acting on the vase? Have a look around the classroom and name some of the balanced forces in action on different objects. Gravity Table’s Upthrust Unbalanced Forces ...
The resultant force represents the overall force acting on an object in a coplanar system, and can be used to determine the motion and equilibrium of the object. Can the direction of the resultant force in a coplanar system change? Yes, the direction of the resultant force can change dependin...
