Yes it does. Friction tends to slow down objects in motion, like if you throw a brick through the air, it will not go far, depending on the force you used to throw the brick. Its speed will gradually decline due to the brick's friction with air. Now if you threw a football through the air using the same force that you used to throw the brick, it will go a lot farther than the brick because of its shape. The blunt edge of the football makes it easier to 'slice' through the air, thus creating less friction. It is the same aspect with the shape of a car. The front of the car is blunt, so it will 'cut' through the air without much friction.
yes because if some thing flat like flat paper was dropped it would glide before it hit the ground but if it was a folded paper airplane it would go straight down
Shape plays a role in air resistance because some shapes block air flows causing a resistance. Shape can also cause resistance if it allows too much air to vent one way or the other.
Streamlined (kind of oval) shapes can reduce air and water resistance.
A cone with a rounded off tip
It reduces the acceleration of the falling object due to friction.
It depends on the shape of the object.
No it just depends on the size and shape of the object. An obect is more affected by air resistance if it is lighter.
As a falling object accelerates through air, its speed increases and air resistance increases. While gravity pulls the object down, we find that air resistance is trying to limit the object's speed. Air resistance reduces the acceleration of a falling object. It would accelerate faster if it was falling in a vacuum.
The forces that affect the rate of a falling object are Gravity and Air Resistance. Gravity affects the speed and the velocity of the object by speeding it up as it falls closer to the earth, and Air resistance works against the object pushing against it.
Fluid density, relative velocity, and object shape affect air resistance.
the amount of air resistance on an object depends on the size, shape, and speed of the object. Air resistance is the force that opposes the motion of objects through air.
shape, size, and speed
Speed, shape and frontal cross-section. Viscosity, texture, friction, gravity, velocity, size, and shape can all affect air resistance.
