... light objects (like a flat sheet of paper) are slowed down more by air resistance than are smaller, smoother objects. Objectives Students will be able to: Describe gravitational force, and how ...
Students will explore how gravity and air resistance work together to create a graceful twirling miniature helicopter. As you let go of the helicopter, gravity pulls it toward the ground. Air resistance ...
... and hollow bones make it easier to counteract gravity. Air sacs inside their bodies make birds lighter, which enables smoother motion through air. The shape of their body helps reduce air resistance when ...
