Question
two animals of different mass are falling. 1000 kg elephant 100 kg mouse what force is missing if both animals fall at the exact same velocity? oa the force due to air resistance. ob the force due to momentum. oc the force due to gravity. od the force due to inertia.
In a vacuum (where there is no air resistance), all objects fall with the same acceleration due to gravity, regardless of their mass. But in real - life (with air), air resistance affects the motion. If we assume they fall at the same velocity (like in a vacuum scenario), the missing force is air resistance. Momentum is \(p = mv\) (not a force). Gravity (\(F = mg\)) acts on both. Inertia is a property of matter (resistance to change in motion, not a force).
