air resistance differs from the friction between solid surfaces. air reesistance depends on surface area and the speeed of an object.
The object opposes the air and while falling of the object the initial velocity will become zero , and the final velocity will have some value's this is how air will resist the velocity of falling object ...........
Slows an object down or speeds one up.
Air resistance acts as a frictional force that opposes the motion of a falling object. As an object falls, air resistance increases with velocity, slowing down the object's acceleration. This results in the object reaching a maximum speed known as terminal velocity, where the force of air resistance is equal to the force of gravity, causing the object to fall at a constant speed.
It reduces the acceleration of the falling object due to friction.
In free fall, when the air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object, we say that the object has reached ________ velocity.
It slows the acceleration - possibly down to zero @ "terminal velocity".
Air resistance increases as an object's speed increases. At terminal velocity, the upward force of air resistance equals the downward force of gravity, resulting in a constant velocity. The greater the air resistance, the lower the terminal velocity of an object falling through the air.
When a falling object stops accelerating but is falling at a constant velocity, it is called terminal velocity.
The greatest velocity a falling object can reach is called terminal velocity. Terminal velocity occurs when the force of air resistance on the object matches the force of gravity pulling it down, resulting in a constant speed.
When an object is falling at terminal velocity, the forces of gravity pulling it downward and air resistance pushing upward are balanced. This results in a constant velocity for the object as it falls.
A falling object accelerates at a rate of 9.8 m/s2. That means that for every second that it is falling, its velocity increases by 9.8 m/s. The higher that the object is falling from, the longer it will have to speed up, thus the higher its velocity upon impact will be. (This is assuming that it does not reach terminal velocity, the velocity at which an object can no longer accelerate because it is travelling so fast that the drag force (air resistance) is equal to the force of gravity.)
If air resistance is significant, after falling for a while the air resistance will be as strong as the force of gravity; the two forces will be in equilibrium, and the object won't accelerate any more. This velocity is called "terminal velocity". The amount of this terminal velocity, and the time it takes to approach the terminal velocity, depends on the specific object that is falling.
