It requires a force to propel an object through air, because of the air resistance. Normally, if there were no air resistance and the object were being propelled on the level with no friction, a constant force would accelerate the object steadily. However, it would require a steady force to propel the object through air even without acceleration. And the faster it went the more resistance it would meet.

What is air resistance and what are the two factors that air resistance depends on?

Air resistance is the force that opposes the motion of an object through the air. It depends on the speed of the object and its surface area exposed to the air.

What is the net force when encounters 15 N air resistance?

The net force would be the difference between the applied force and the air resistance. If the applied force is greater than the air resistance, then the net force would be in the direction of the applied force. If the air resistance is greater than the applied force, then the net force would be in the opposite direction.
