Air resistance does tend to slow things down, which may cause them to move more slowly. However, if you keep applying power - such as a jet engine - you can overcome the resistance and keep going.

How is air resistance related to a catapult?
the ball or whatever object that is thrown has air resistance so it makes it go farther or slower and that's how its related
Do falling objects have air resistance?
Yes falling objects do have air resistance. They have even more if they have a larger surface area.
how do objects fall when there is no air resistance?
In the absence of air resistance (friction) objects will fall at the same speed. Hope this still helps :)
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.
Do heavier objects fall faster or slower than light one?
Without air resistance, heavier and lighter object fall at the same speed. More precisely, they accelerate at the same speed - near Earth's surface that would be 9.8 meters/second2. If air resistance is significant, heavier objects tend to have less air resistance, compared to their weight, so they will usually fall faster.
What force that makes a feather drop slower than a hammer on earth?
Air resistance.

Why do lighter objects fall slower than heavier objects?
In a vacuum. like in outer space, all substances fall at the same rate. Here on earth, the rate of falling is influenced by air resistance. A feather has 'way more air resistance than a ball of steel, for example, so falls slower.

Is a ball with holes in it slower because of air resistance?
Yes, like flyswatters. they have holed to lower air resistance

How does acceleration due to gravity of the large ball compare to the smaller ball?
If you let two balls fall, initially the velocity will be the same. A small (and light) objects will eventually fall slower, because of increased air resistance. But if you can ignore air resistance - distances are short, or you do the experiment in a vacuum - acceleration will continue to be the same - on Earth, about 9.8 (meters per second) per second.If you let two balls fall, initially the velocity will be the same.

Do all objects fall at the same speed down a slope?
no, some are heavier therefore fall faster. not! all objects fall at the same rate no matter what size, Galileo said that DUH! both are wrong... partially. Some objects have more air resistance than others. The more air resistance, the slower an object will fall to the ground. ;-) -Th
How does air resistance affect way objects move?
well air resistance can make objects with a-lot of surface fall more slowly
