What is air resistance and how does it affect a falling object?
Air resistance is the force acting on an object moving in air that tends to slow it down or produce drag. If a stone is falling, air resistance will be acting on it to try to slow it. Should we consider a jet moving through air, air resistance will be providing drag to slow the jet down.
Which force pushes against a moving object as it passes through air?
When an object is moving in a particular direction, air resistance will be acting on the object in the opposite direction to the direction of travel.
What force is acting on a ball when it is not moving?
Gravity
Why there must be an unbalanced force acting if an object is moving in a circle at constant speed?
If an unbalanced force was not acting upon it, it wouldn't be moving in a circle.An object with no unbalanced force will either not be moving, or be moving in a straight line due to Isaac Newtons 1st law of motion.
What is an example of drag force?
A drag force is a dissipative force. This can be in the form of air resistance or fluid resistance. Drag force is a force that acts opposite to the relative motion of an object moving in a surrounding fluid.
What is a force that causes resistance to moving through the air?
Pitch

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.
Which force pushes against a moving object as it passes through air?
When an object is moving in a particular direction, air resistance will be acting on the object in the opposite direction to the direction of travel.
Why do moving body accelerate?
Not all moving objects accelerate. In general, an object will accelerate if there is a net force acting on it. For a ball in the air, this might be gravitation + air resistance; for a moving car (once you turn the engine off) it might be the force of friction; etc.
What force is acting on a ball when it is not moving?
Gravity
What is the upward force acting when a vehicle is moving?
upthrust
What is the force acting on a fallling object?
Usually gravity AND air resistance.
Why there must be an unbalanced force acting if an object is moving in a circle at constant speed?
If an unbalanced force was not acting upon it, it wouldn't be moving in a circle.An object with no unbalanced force will either not be moving, or be moving in a straight line due to Isaac Newtons 1st law of motion.
What is the force that causes a change of velocity when acting on an object?
Opposing force
I Need to know what happens when a pram is moving i need to 1Know when pram is speeding up and slowing down and what forces affect wheels 2When pram is speeding up normal slowing down?
The main forces acting on the pram will be the force the person pushing the pram exerts on it, the friction against the ground and air resistance. When the pram is speeding up the force the pusher exerts will be larger than the combined force of the air resistance and the friction against the ground. When the pram is moving at a constant speed the forces acting on it will be balanced I.e. pushing force= air resistance+friction. When the pram is slowing down the air resistance and the friction will be greater than the pushing force.
What is high air resistance?
Air resistance is a friction force, the flow of air over a surface will cause friction and produce drag. Thanks
