Sauceborn he/him Posted April 8, 2018 Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) A quick question about physics regarding altering weight. Two objects of the same volume/shape yet different masses would fall at the same rate, and as it would be with a Ferring altering their weight, they would fall at the same rate. The question I had was, say if you attached a parachute to create some air resistance, would that Ferring fall at different rates at, say, half his weight to double his weight? Or would he still fall at the same speed? Edited April 8, 2018 by Sauceborn a goof
Spoolofwhool Posted April 8, 2018 Posted April 8, 2018 Different speed. A parachute would apply an upward force while downward force would be the force of gravity applying on the person and the parachute, which would then result in downward acceleration based on the difference between the two forces. As someone with have the effective mass through iron feruchemy would have a lower force of gravity, the net acceleration of them with the parachute would be lower.
