Air resistance has no effect on gravity. The force of friction due to air resistance
against a falling object balances part or all of the gravitational force, depending
on the object's shape and speed through the air ... just as your hand or a rubber
band attached to the object would ... but the full force of gravity is still there.

How does gravity effect a falling object?
If there is no air resistance, gravity will accelerate the falling object, that is, it will change its velocity.
Compare the effects of gravity and air resistance on a falling skydiver before and after she opens her parachute?
-- The force of gravity is unchanged before and after.-- The force of air resistance on the skydiver is greater before, and less after,because she is falling slower after the parachute opens.-- The effect on her of air resistance is greater after the parachute is open. Theincreased air resistance itself acts on the parachute, and its effect is transferredto the skydiver through her harness.
What part air resistance plays in gravity?
i think air resistance slows down the object that gravity is pulling towards it
How does air effect gravity?
Air has no effect on gravity. But the presence of air can change the response of an object to the force of gravity alone.
What Forces act on an arrow in air?
air resistance, gravity, acceleration/deceleration. --------------- Inertia, gravity, air resistance, wind turbulence/vortices, the rotation of the earth.
How does shape and air resistance can effect the laws of gravity?
It doesn't. The force of gravity depends on the masses involved, and their distance. However, air resistance can introduce other forces, that counteract the force of gravity.

What are some forces that effect the path of the ball?
Gravity, air resistance, force produced by the spinning of the ball.

Which direction does the parachutist go if gravity is greater than air resistance?
The parachutist will go down, of course. If gravity is greater than air resistance, then the parachutist would accelerate (his speed would increase). This would increase air resistance, up to the point where gravity and air resistance are in balance.
What Forces act on an arrow in air?
air resistance, gravity, acceleration/deceleration. --------------- Inertia, gravity, air resistance, wind turbulence/vortices, the rotation of the earth.
What are 3 forces that act on an object from a catapult?
The potential energy of the elasticity of the catapult material, air resistance, gravity.
What forces act on a falling leaf?
Gravity and air resistance.
What are non examples of air resistance?
gravity
