Causes drag( slows an object), can cause lift or down force. It can also cause an object trajectory (wind drift of a rifle bullet)
To determine the impact of air resistance on an object's motion, one can analyze the object's speed, size, shape, and the density of the air it is moving through. By considering these factors, one can calculate the force of air resistance acting on the object and how it affects its acceleration and overall motion.
Air resistance acts in the direction opposite to the motion of a falling object, slowing it down. The faster an object moves through the air, the greater the air resistance it experiences. This force ultimately affects the speed and trajectory of the falling object.
Drag is a force that opposes the motion of an object through a fluid, like air or water, while friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object on a surface. Both drag and friction slow down the motion of an object, but drag specifically affects objects moving through a fluid, while friction affects objects moving on a surface.
Inetia.
-- In the absence of air resistance, the object's diameter has no effect at all on the projectile motion. -- In the presence of air resistance, one has to know everything about the object AND the air in order to have a prayer of calculating the effect.
Friction and air resistance both act as forces that oppose the motion of an object. Friction occurs between surfaces in contact, reducing motion by converting kinetic energy into heat. Air resistance, or drag, is caused by the friction of air molecules against the surface of the object, slowing it down. Both factors can decrease the speed and distance traveled by an object.
no, friction just changes the motion of an object.
Air resistance.
The surface of an object affects the aerodynamic drag: a force which acts against the direction of motion.
Gravity affects the vertical component of projectile motion by causing the object to accelerate downward as it moves horizontally. This acceleration due to gravity affects the object's vertical displacement and velocity. It does not affect the horizontal component of projectile motion, which moves at a constant velocity in the absence of air resistance.
The surface of an object affects the aerodynamic drag: a force which acts against the direction of motion.
Aerodynamics is the study of air flow around a moving object, and how that affects the object's motion. It is used often for airplanes and rockets, but also for automobiles, where reducing the drag (air friction) can improve performance and fuel efficiency. Aerodynamics is defined as "the branch of mechanics that deals with the motion of gases (especially air) and their effects on bodies in the flow." It includes the effects of pressure and air resistance.
