If you drop two objects that have congruent shapes, similar masses, but dissimilar densities, they fall at different rates. The difference is due to the air resistance (which is greater on the less dense object, it is larger).

What is air resistance and what are the two factors that air resistance depends on?
Air Resistance is a force.
How molecules in the air cause air resistance?
How molecules in the air cause air resistance?
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.
Is air resistance in a ball being thrown?
Yes, air resistance is on everything where there is air.
What is the relationship between air resistance and movement?
air resistance is cooler
How does volleyball have air resistance?
Yes, when the ball flies through the air that is air resistance.
What is air resistance and what are the two factors that air resistance depends on?
Air Resistance is a force.
What force slows objects moving through the air?
Air resistance
How molecules in the air cause air resistance?
How molecules in the air cause air resistance?
Why does the oscillation of a pendulum gradually slows down after a certain interval of time?
Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.

How does surface area affect air resistance?

When an object falls through the air encounters air resistance its overall speed will be than if it had not encountered air resistance?
The resistance do obstruct the object. The object always travel slower with air resistance. Air resistance is higher with velocity and the object falling through air would have a limited velocity that it can't go through.
What is the effect on the projectile motion when the diameter of the object is changed?
-- 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.
How are air resistance and friction alike?
Air resistance is a type of fluid friction (along with water resistance) and is therefore is a type of friction.
