Best Answer

Air restistance causes friction against a moving object and can cause it to slow down. For example a parachutes job is to makes air restistance to slow down whatever it is trying to stop from falling. the parachute is there to even out the air restistance with the force gravity.

Why is stitching on a baseball important?

There are 108 double stiches in an official baseball. They are carefully stiched in a pattern that goes from wide to narrow because this effects aerodynamics. When the air passes over the ball the stiches help produce a more streamlined effect which reduces the amount of drag on the ball-Drag is the reistance an object faces when it collides with air molecules, it is a type of friction which can slow down the ball.
