Question

Describe the effect of force acting upon an object when

Air resistance is greater than the force of gravity?

Open in App
Solution

Falling objects increase their speed as they fall, because their weight (the force of gravity) pulls them to Earth. They also experience an upward force called air resistance (drag), which slows them down.



Now looking at the question

If the the air resistance is higher than force og gravity,the object will not fall down..,it will go up
The object fall down becaudebecause of gravity .but if there is a force (air resistance )acting on body which is higher tham gravity force,then net force will be in upward direction .so the object will move up ward




For example
If you keep a paper ball above a fan(table fan put horizontaly..)the ball is pushed upward ,this is because net force is upward in direction
