The large cross-sectional area of the chute causes resistance to their falling.

so they can see how high they are as they descend.


What does air restance do?

Air resistance acts to slow an object that is accelerating, as the object impacts more and more air molecules per second, resulting in a greater negative force on the object, until an equilibrium point is reached.


How are friction and air resistance different?

air resistance is different from friction because friction is more than one thing because there is many different types of friction air restance is one of those types of friction.

It isn't. It's R or the omega sign.

What is wind restance?

Wind resistance is a specific example of air resistance. Wind resistance would be a resistance to motion cause by a wind, for example when you try walking forward on a very windy day it is hard, that force preventing you from walking is wind resistance.

Pearl Harbour was and still is an American Naval Base. There were no parachute forces or regiments on the base or islands, when the Japanese attacked during what was supposed to be peacetime.

What is the acceleration f gravity for a obct faling to t earth when you ignore air restance?

9.81 meters per second per second (32.2 feet per second per second)


Is this true or false.The greater the surface area of the obect the greater the air restance?

False. You could have a very large area properly shaped have very little air resistance. A flat surface aimed broadside to the direction of travel would be true. The larger the more air resistance, but it would have almost no resistance when turned edgewise to the direction of travel. Size would matter very little in the case of a sheet of plywood. There are wings being developed by NASA that change their shape during flight kind of like the F-22 ( or a bird) changes its' surface areas to move effectively and efficiently through air.
