What is air resistance and what are the two factors that air resistance depends on?
Air Resistance is a force.
Is air resistance a contact or non contact force?
Air resistance is a contact force because you are in contact with the air in order to apply that force.
How is air resistance used in a sentence?
air pressure is when air gets pressed down
A feather is in freefall when the force of gravity is greater than the force of air resistance is equal to the force of air resistance is less than the force of air resistance is the only force acting?
"Free fall" means that gravity is the only force acting on a body.
Is air resistance a pull force or push force?
Yes resistance would be a push force.
What is the force that opposes the motion of objects through air?
Air Resistance is the kinetic friction of the object's surface moving through the air. In aeronautical terms this is known as drag.
What force changes when a sky diver's parachute opens?
The force that changes is air resistance and the force that stay the same is gravity.
Which encounters the greater force of air resistance a falling elephant or a falling feather?
A falling elephant encounters a greater force of air resistance than a falling feather does. The force of air resistance can't be greater than the weight of the falling object. When the force of air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object, the object stops accelerating, its falling speed becomes constant, and the force of air resistance doesn't get any bigger. So the force of air resistance against a falling feather can't be greater than the weight of the feather. But the force of air resistance against a falling elephant can be, and undoubtedly is, greater than the weight of a feather.
What is air resistancce?
Air resistance is a force yeah
Does air exerts force?
The force that air exerts on a moving object is called air resistance. Air resistance is a form of friction.
What is an upward force?
It is a force which acts in the upward direction.
How is terminal velocity reached by a falling object?
While an object falls faster and faster, the backwards force of air resistance will increase. Once the force of air resistance equals the force of gravitation, the object will no longer accelerate, and is said to have reached "terminal velocity".While an object falls faster and faster, the backwards force of air resistance will increase.
