Does air resistance act on the surface of a snowflake when it is in motion?

Anything moving in air is acted on the by the air, including the snowflake. Air, a fluid, will interact in a dynamic way with anything around which it is moving. Air resistance is a factor with a snowflake, a rain drop or a hail stone. Aerodynamic principles apply. We investigate stuff like this, and fluid dynamics is the field of study.

What forces act on cheetahs in motion?
gravity, friction and air resistance
What is the force acting backwards on a car in motion?
Air resistance / drag and friction are both forces which act in the opposite direction to the motion of a car
What two forces act on objects to slow their motion?
There are many forces that could act on an object, depending on the situation. An object moving on a surface is likely to slow down due to friction, which is related to the gravitational force. Air resistance will affect objects to slow them down, which is proportional to the speed their travelling at.
Air molecules act on the forward moving surface of an object slowing it's motion?
static friction
What is the definition of pronation?
The act of turning the palm or palmar surface of the forefoot downward., That motion of the forearm whereby the palm or palmar, surface is turned downward., The position of the limb resulting from the act of pronation. Opposed to supination.
Why does a ball come to stop when it is rolled across the floor?
Because of the forces that act on the ball in the direction opposite to its motion ... air resistance and friction with the floor.
How can a number of forces act on an object with out any changes to the objects motion?
Well.... Surface gravity is a force that doesn't change motion it is balanced just like two dogs playing tug-of-war.
What is the meaning of - To work smarter know the difference between motion and direction?
Motion is the act of moving. Direction is the act of motion in a said locations.
How would you define the term motion?
Motion is the act of moving.
For an object to stay in motion what has to act on it?
Nothing. The natural tendency of an object in motion, is to stay in motion.
What has to act on an object for it to stay in motion?
Nothing. The natural tendency of an object in motion, is to stay in motion.
How does a contact force change the motion of an object?
it gives the possibilty of friction which will act in the opposite direction of the motion. This is assuming it is a rough surface, otherwise it makes no difference. Fr=uR where u is the coefficient of friction (pronounced 'mew') hope this helps
