Air resistance increases when the speed of an object increases until it reaches terminal velocity. At this point the object is going as fast as it can, and if all forces remain the same the friction will not get any higher

Does air temperature affect air resistance?

There are two factors that influence air resistance with temperature. Air density decreases with temperature so that the force needed to push the air out of the way is decreased, thereby decreasing resistance. Conversely, air viscosity increases with temperature (unlike oil for example where viscosity decreases with temperature) so that the drag increases. Under normal conditions, the density change of air has the greatest effect and air resistance decreases at higher temperatures.


What effect terminal velocity and air resistance have on a sky diver when he opens his parachute?

When a skydiver opens their parachute, air resistance increases which slows down the skydiver. Terminal velocity is the maximum speed a falling object can reach when the force of gravity is balanced by the force of air resistance. Opening the parachute decreases the skydiver's speed, allowing them to land safely.


As altitude increases air pressure .?

As altitude increases, air pressure decreases. This is because there are fewer air molecules in the atmosphere at higher altitudes, leading to lower pressure.


Is wind resistance greater near the ground or high in the air?

Wind resistance is typically greater near the ground due to surface friction and obstacles that disrupt airflow. As you move higher in the air, wind resistance decreases because the air is less turbulent and obstacles are less frequent, allowing for smoother flow.


What happens to air pressure when density decreases?

density decreases as air pressure increases


What increases when the temperature of air decrease?

When the temperature of air decreases, the density of the air increases. This means that there are more air molecules packed into a given volume. Additionally, the air pressure increases as the temperature decreases.


What does air pressure do when altitude increases?

Air pressure decreases with increase of height.


Does air pressure increases with altitude?

no it decreases


Does air pressure change as altitude increases?

Yes, air pressure decreases as altitude increases.


Is air pressure decreases so does air density?

Air density decreases with altitude, warmer temp and moisture


Does Air pressure increases as elevation increases?

No. It is a negative correlation which means, as the elevation increases the air pressure decreases.


What decreases as as air heats up and increases as air cools?

Air pressure
