It keeps us from hearing all the shots around the world.
It keeps every wind from being a hurricane.
It slows bullets.
It holds up kites and parachutes.
It makes us aware of breathing.

How are air resistance and friction alike?
Air resistance is a type of fluid friction (along with water resistance) and is therefore is a type of friction.
What are facts about air resistance?
What type of friction is air resistance?fluid friction. Air resistance is fluid friction. Air resistance occurs between the surface of a falling object and the air that surrounds it. Rolling friction occurs when a rounded surface moves over a solid and sliding friction occurs when a solid moves over another solid. Static friction occurs when a solid touches another solid but there is no movement.What two factors affect air resistance?size and shape. Size and shape are the two factors that affect air resistance. Air resistance works with surface area, so the more surface area, the more air resistance. Think about when you drop two pieces of paper: one crumpled and one flat. The crumpled one falls faster because there is less air resistance acting on the paper.
Is air resistance a contact or non contact force?
Air resistance is a contact force because you are in contact with the air in order to apply that force.
Who discovered air resistance?
Sir Isaac Newton mentions air resistance in Law Ipublished in his Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica.
When did Sir Isaac Newton discovered air resistance?
while he was trying to discover gravity in 1977
Does it make a 4.8 derby car good with air resistance?
No. Because air resistance includes with friction even if I is that heavy.
Why is air resistance bad?
Air resistance is neither good nor bad, it is simply a factor. Air resistance costs us in terms of performance, a car with high wind resistance gets lower mileage than one with less; but without air resistance planes would not fly at all.

What is air resistance and what are the two factors that air resistance depends on?
Air Resistance is a force.
What force slows objects moving through the air?
Air resistance
Why is stream lining good for cars?
Because it reduces air resistance and friction.
How molecules in the air cause air resistance?
How molecules in the air cause air resistance?
Why does the oscillation of a pendulum gradually slows down after a certain interval of time?
Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.
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 does surface area affect air resistance?
air resistance affects
What is the relationship between air resistance and movement?
air resistance is cooler
