When an object travels through an atmosphere, it encounters resistance from that atmosphere which is known as drag. objects such as bullets, aircraft and cars are shaped so that they produce less drag as they travel at higher speeds than if they were square or blunt objects. The width of a car does affect the drag it produces, but not nearly as much as the shapes of its leading and trailing edges.

Can air resistance affect the distance that a toy car does?
Yes, air resistance can affect the distance a toy car travels. A toy car moving through the air experiences air resistance, which can slow it down and reduce its overall distance traveled. Increasing the car's speed may also increase the impact of air resistance.
Air resistance is one force acting on a moving car. what causes air resistance?
Air resistance is caused by the friction between the moving car and the air molecules it comes into contact with. As the car moves through the air, these air molecules push against the surface of the car, creating resistance that opposes the car's motion.
How does the air affect the speed of a car?
The air effects the speed of the car because its kind of like a parachute. if you have a car that's not very aerodynamic it will catch the air and have to push it, but if you take a car that's very aerodynamic it will slice the air and have very little Resistance.
What happens to the air resistance on a car as the car goes faster?
The resistance is greater the faster the vehicle is going.
How can you use air resistance in a sentence?
Removing side mirrors from a car will lower it's air resistance.
Can air flow increase the performace?
The faster the car travels trough the air, the more air resistance there will be so it will be harder for a car to accelerate (hence there are top speeds). However, there needs to be some air resistance for a car to move.
How does a car reduce air resistance?
By designing the car to be as streamlined as possible.
The faster the car the stronger the air resistance?
Yes, as a car travels at a higher speed, it encounters more air resistance. This is because the air particles collide with the car's surface more frequently, creating a stronger force that opposes the car's motion. This resistance ultimately limits how fast a car can travel efficiently.
Compare the sizes of forward force and air resistance while a car is moving at 30mph?
when a car is speeding up how does the forward force and air resistance compare
Does a car use wind resistance?
Wind resistance (actually, Air Resistance) works against a car- it has to push air out of the way. Cars that are "streamlined" are designed so they slip through the air more easily than those that are not.
How does the streamline body of the car affect the speed of the car?
The shape of a car affects it's speed. take F1 cars for example. they are streamlined so precisely and they are also quite small in height. The streamlined body cuts through the air so there is less air resistance affecting the car. if you take a van, it is big and bulky, so it doesn't go through the air as well as a F1 car would. if you have the same engine in both and they are both the same weight, then the F1 car would win, because of it's streamline. Try this.... Take a knife and some butter. The knife is the car and the butter is the air resistance. The thinner end goes into the butter more easily than the thicker end. this is the same principal as a car and air resistance.
How do you reduce air resistance?
Give more flow. (air passage ways) If your in a car and theres a hurricane near you, you don't want your windows closed. There would be air resistance and move your car.
