Yes air resistance does resist motion of an object. If the object is very small or moving only slowly air resistance will be low. But the faster the object travels the greater will be the resistance. In fact, the reason a car doesn't go faster than it does is due to the air resistance, which will require more power to overcome than the engine can deliver.

∙ 14y agoYes, a sort of because friction and air resistance both lie in resistance.
If you throw any object that is streamlined, as it gets less air resistance, it would be like you are rolling a ball on a smooth surface. The theme of the both object is that they receive less resistance.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes, because air can oppose motion. If you're trying to jog, and then the wind starts blowing at your body, you can't run as fast as you were, can you?

∙ 14y agoYes. It falls under the category of drag force. Drag force is the force that resists the motion of a body.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agono it is entirely caused by the air hitting a surface obviously the bigger the surface area the more air resistance

What are two forces that resist the forward motion of a bus?
two forces that can stop the forward motion are, air resistance and friction.
Air resistance and water resistance are both examples of?
Resistant forces. They resist against the motion of an object, like kinetic friction.
How do you resist air resistance?
You don't "resist" it but you "reduce" it. For example, many vehicles and projectiles are made in a streamline design to reduce air resistance.
How air resistance changes motion?
Air resistance slows down motion travelling through the air, which everything is doing except while in a vacuum.
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.

Resistant forces. They resist against the motion of an object, like kinetic friction.
When you measure an object's resistance to motion you must measure what?
Inertia is an objects resistance to change in motion. Frictional forces resist motion.

What is the opposition to motion caused by air?
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.
The mass of an object makes it resist a force that tries to change its motion what is this resistance called?
Inertia.
What is frictional resistance due to motion through air?
This frictional resistance known as "air resistance" is the drag force. The drag force changes with the drag coefficient of the object in motion.
How is air resistance helpful?
If you are falling...the air beneath u will resist you from falling even faster.
Air slows the motion of an object by a force called what?
Air resistance.
Frictional resistance due to motion through air?
air drag
