Question

If objects in free fall near the surface of Earth accelerate downward at 9.81 meters per second, why does a feather not accelerate at this rate when dropped near the surface of Earth? A. The feather's mass is too small. B. The air spaces in the feather interfere with gravity. C. Air friction acts on the feather. D. The shape of the feather propels it through the air.​

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer of this question is B

Answer 2

The reason why the feather does not accelerate at this rate when dropped near the surface of Earth is because of Air friction acts on the feather.

• The free-falling of an object is said to have an acceleration of 9.8 m/s/s, downward (on Earth).

The Gravity or its acceleration due to it is regarded as 9.81 meters per second square, on the earth surface, because of the size of Earth and the distance we are on its surface from its center.

In space, gravity are said to be constant.

Conclusively, due to air resistance, acceleration throughout a fall gets less than gravity because it affects the movement of the falling object by slowing it down.
