Give examples please. Is air resistance harmful?
Air resistance is both helpful and harmful, depending on the circumstances. If you are using a parachute to slow your descent while skydiving, then you need air resistance to work against the acceleration of gravity. In that case, it would be helpful. However, if you were trying to reduce aerodynamic resistance (in a fast-moving car or airplane), then air resistance would be harmful. In a car, as it moves forward, the air pushes back against the profile of the car. This exerts a backward force, meaning that your car has to work harder to accelerate the faster it goes, because of the increase air resistance pushing back against the car. This is the reason why aerodynamics is so important in high-performance vehicle design.
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.
How can air resistance help the motion of an object?
Normally, air resistance slows an object and this does not help motion, it impedes it. Lift, which is an aerodynamic force, is very helpful and it's caused by air resistance. This allows a plane to lift off and stay in flight.
Ways that air resistance is helpful?
if you are driving a car and you are driving in the snow the air beneath the car and infront the car it will stop the car from crashing

What is the relationship between air resistance and movement?
air resistance is cooler
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.
