Pattern of falling
Definition.
The pattern of falling is the regular way in which objects move downward under the influence of gravity, usually speeding up at first and sometimes reaching a constant speed due to air resistance.
Key points.
Falling starts when gravity pulls an object down.
The longer it falls, the faster it goes.
Gravity pulls equally on all objects.
Falling usually happens in a straight downward path.
In no air, all objects fall at the same rate.
Air resistance can slow down falling objects.
Flat or light objects fall slower.
Streamlined objects fall faster.
How the Pattern of Falling Works.
Gravity pulls the object down.
The object starts slow.
Acceleration happens.
Air resistance slows it down.
Terminal velocity is reached.
Straight downward movement.
What is a pattern?
A pattern is a regular way something happens again and again.
A pattern means.
It repeats.
It follows a rule.
It is predictable.
What is falling?
Falling is when an object moves downwards because of gravity.
Examples.
A stone dropping from your hand.
Rain coming down from the clouds.
An apple falling from a tree.
Fun Fact.
On the Moon, a feather and a hammer fall at the same speed.
