No context specified so general answer.

This is a very general answer geared to a Layperson.

Air density / Altitude.
Of the vehical:
Frontal area or how big the vehical is
Drag Co-eficient. This is the shape of the vehical and how it reacts and contols the air moving over it.

This is a very complex Area of Enginering.

Why does the cruising speed of an aircraft depend on the altitude?

Because tha altitude influences the air pressure, and the air pressure influences the wind resistance. The higher the plane is the faster it'll go for the same amount of throttle.


What are all the forces that act on an object when it falls?

When an object falls, the main forces acting on it are gravity (pulling it downward) and air resistance (opposing its downward motion). In the absence of other factors, these two forces are the primary influences on the object's falling motion.


Does air resistance help moving objects?

absolutely yes..these forces are called the coriolis influences..that is also the reason why aircrafts and any mode of transport in air are designed streamline to overcome these coriolis effects or simply the air resistance..another name for this is the drag..

What is air resistance and what are the two factors that air resistance depends on?

Air resistance is the force that opposes the motion of an object through the air. It depends on the speed of the object and its surface area exposed to the air.

What force acts on projectile?

The forces acting on a projectile are gravity, which causes it to fall towards the ground, and air resistance, which opposes its motion through the air. Additionally, the initial velocity at which the projectile is launched also influences its trajectory.


When an object falls through the air encounters air resistance its overall speed will be than if it had not encountered air resistance?

The resistance do obstruct the object. The object always travel slower with air resistance. Air resistance is higher with velocity and the object falling through air would have a limited velocity that it can't go through.

What are the different types of resistance available on exercise bikes?

The different types of resistance available on exercise bikes are magnetic resistance, air resistance, and friction resistance. Magnetic resistance uses magnets to create resistance, air resistance uses air to create resistance, and friction resistance uses a brake pad to create resistance.


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.


Is air a source of resistance?

Yes, air can provide resistance to objects moving through it. This resistance, known as air resistance or drag, is caused by air molecules colliding with the moving object and can slow down its motion.
