Air or wind resistance is an important consideration in design, especially when it comes to multi-storey structures as buildings tend to be more vulnerable to wind forces as it goes upwards. Wind resistance in highrise buildings is important in order to secure the building components and its users from strong winds.

Why did the hammer land at the same time as the feather on the moon?
No air resistance. No air resistance. Because falling bodies accellerate at the same rate regardless of mass
Air slows the motion of an object by a force called what?
Air resistance.
What is a air temp sensor?
IAT air intake sensor is a thermistor ( a resistor that varies the value of it's resistance in accordance with temperature changes ) the change in the resistance values will directly effect the voltage signal from the sensor to the PCM/ECM. As the sensor temperature increases, the resistance values will decrease. As the sensor temperature decreases the resistance values will increase.
What are the Dangers of skyscrapers?
it is dangerouse because there is not enough air resistance and gravity pulls u down
Why does the shape of an object falling affects the time that it takes to hit the ground?
It's all about the air resistance that the object receives as it falls in an atmosphere. The air has to move around the object as it falls, if it's allowed to move smoothly aroundyam object by the objects shape then the force of the air resistance is lower. This allows the object to fall faster.
Why do car designers like to reduce air resistance on cars?
They do it because it makes the car faster and more fuel efficient as it is not having as much resistance pushing against it.
How do you resist air resistance?
You don't "resist" it but you "reduce" it. For example, many vehicles and projectiles are made in a streamline design to reduce air resistance.
How does a plane reduce the effects of air resistance?
by flying in the air
Why is streamlining used?
to reduce air resistance or drag.
Why do planes have pointed fronts?
To reduce air resistance.
Why are some vehicles streamlined?
To reduce air resistance or drag.
Why are cars designed with smooth surfaces?
to reduce air resistance
What affect does streamlining have on forces?
It tends to reduce air (or water) resistance.
How do we reduce the effects of air resistance on a vehicle?
By giving it a streamlined shape.
How does a car reduce air resistance?
By designing the car to be as streamlined as possible.
Why does streamlining work?
air resistance
Why do lorries have deflectors fitted?
To reduce the air resistance/drag acting against them and also to reduce the fuel consumption.
