Whenever any object moves through air (eg an aeroplane) it observes four forces 1 Drag force 2. lift force 3.weight of object 4.thrust created by the propellers or engine of the object. The drag force is directed opposite to the direction of moment of the object and slows the object down.

will always tend to pull things down, thus slowing upward motion.

What force slows things down the most?
Friction and Air Resistance
How does air resistance affect the height of a bottle rocket?
The vertical components of the air resistance acts vertically down on it. This adds to the effect of the gravitational force. Therefore net force is increased - it slows down more rapidly and so does not rise as far.
Air and water resistance?
Air resistance is that resistance when substance moves in air and it expresses a opposite force on it. However, water restinace is water when a substance moves thorugh water and it expresses and oppoisite force.
Name something that needs to travel slowly through air how does it manage this?
A skydiver - he uses a parachute that slows him down as a result of air resistance acting on the surface of the parachute
The upward force of a liquid or air on an object that helps it float?
The force that makes things float is called buoyancy.
What force slows things down the most?
Friction and Air Resistance
The force which slows down a parachutist?
Air resistance or upthrust :)
What force slows down parachutist?
'Drag' which is air resistance.
What is the force that slows a parachutist down as they fall through the air?
Air Resistance or friction with the air.
What force slows down object in the air?
The answer is gravity.they also experience a upward force called air resistance
What force slows down a parachutist?
up thrust or air resistance.
What is the force that slows down airplanes?
Air friction, which is measured as drag.
What force opposes gravity and slows down an object falling through the air?
drag force (frictional force exerted by air) or air reststance
What force increases when a heavy wind slows a bird down?
Air resistance
What is the force that slows down an airplane?
Drag is the force that slows down a plane. Drag may be caused by air friction. It may also caused by non-retractable landing gears.
What is the name of the force which slows down a man falling with a parachute?
air resistance , maybe!
Air slows the motion of an object by a force called what?
Air resistance.
