Answers to Common Questions
If there is no air resistance, gravity will accelerate the falling object, that is, it will change its velocity.
Yes, heavier objects have a stronger force from gravity. That's why it hurts more when an elephant stands on your toe than it does when an ant walks over your foot.
An object which is falling through the atmosphere is subjected to two external forces. One force is the gravitational force(MORE)

The rate of acceleration depends on two factors according to the equation a = GM/d 2 , where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the planet/larger object and d is the distance between the two masses. For example the accelerati...

when you fall you fall faster and faster until you fall at a constant rate (you can't fall any faster at a certain point) it also depends on your density, weight and how wide you are ( when you fall air pushes back on you the smaller you ar...

Gravity accelerates falling objects at a constant rate (on Earth, it's 9.8 m/s/s). However, in the presence of air, the air pushes against the falling object, and the faster it's falling then the more air is pushing against it. The point at...

An object reaches terminal velocity when air resistance is balanced with the pull of gravity. In other words, without air resistance, gravity would cause an object to accelerate continuously and infinitely. Without gravity, objects would no...
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why+does+air+resistance+slow+...
When air resistance equals gravity there is no net force on the object so the object will not accelerate, that is it will keep moving at its current speed. This is called terminal velocity. Some objects,like feathers, reach terminal velocit...
