Name something that needs to travel slowly through air how does it manage this?
A skydiver - he uses a parachute that slows him down as a result of air resistance acting on the surface of the parachute
What travels slowly through air?
dandilion seed parachute
Explain why a man using a parachute falls through air slowly while a stone falls through air very fast?
When an object falls through air, it experiences air resistance. This air resistance is a force that opposes the object's motion. The amount of air resistance an object experiences depends on the object's shape, size, and speed. A man using a parachute falls slowly because the parachute creates a large amount of air resistance. A stone falls very fast because it has a small amount of air resistance.
What needs to travel through the air slowly?
An hot air balloon i think.
Can sound travel through rocks?
Yes it can cause sound waves can travel through solids,liquids,but slowly in gases and air
What happens after you open a parachute?
well after opening the parachute it will be filled with air so technically the individual will go down slowly due to air resistance .
What does the vent on the top of the parachute do?
The vent on top of the parachute helps air go through. If you didn't have a vent at the top you would be floating in the same place. The vent makes the parachute go down slowly but not fast enough to where you would drop.
Do Light waves travel more slowly through air and water?
It travels faster thru air
Why a parachute descends slowly where the stone dropped from the same height falls rapidly?
Parachute has more drag (air resistance)
Can sound waves travel through rocks?
Yes it can cause sound waves can travel through solids,liquids,but slowly in gases and air
Is it true that sound travels more slowly in air than in water?
yes it does because air is easier to travel through
Why does sound travel more slowly through air than through a solid?
Air molecules are much, much farther away from each other in air than they are in water.
