How can you increase air resistance?

you can increase air Resistance by adding more gravity and more air Resistance which is the push that comes from down to up and will cancel out with the gravity eventually!! sorry i thank i messed up hope i helped!


How would adding air resistance change the results?

air resistance will increase the time for an object to fall to the ground


What happens to the air resistance as the parachute opens?

Air resistance will increase when the parachute opens, and the decent of the skydiver will slow down.


Why resistance forces increase with speed?

The faster you go the more stuff you run into. Air resistance is a real thing.


How is terminal velocity reached by a falling object?

While an object falls faster and faster, the backwards force of air resistance will increase. Once the force of air resistance equals the force of gravitation, the object will no longer accelerate, and is said to have reached "terminal velocity".While an object falls faster and faster, the backwards force of air resistance will increase.

Does air resistance increase or decrease the acceleration of a falling obect?

Well, the more the air resistance, the lower the acceleration.


Which direction does the parachutist go if gravity is greater than air resistance?

The parachutist will go down, of course. If gravity is greater than air resistance, then the parachutist would accelerate (his speed would increase). This would increase air resistance, up to the point where gravity and air resistance are in balance.


Does a spoiler increase or decrease air resistance?

decrease

Should we increase air resistance on a falling object?

No, we have no influence on that.


Does air resistance increase or decrease the acceleration of a falling leaf from a tree?

Air resistance decreases acceleration of falling objects


How does water or air resistance against an object increase speed?

It doesn't increase speed. The word resistance means to resist. In other words it decreases speed.

Can Parachutists reduce their air resistance by increasing the size of the cross-section they present to the air?

no, the reverse, you will increase it


How does an open parachute increase the air resistance of a falling?

by increasing surface area
