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.
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 a force.
What force slows objects moving through the air?
Air resistance
How molecules in the air cause air resistance?
How molecules in the air cause air resistance?
Why does the oscillation of a pendulum gradually slows down after a certain interval of time?
Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.
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.
Is air resistance in a ball being thrown?
Yes, air resistance is on everything where there is air.
How does surface area affect air resistance?
air resistance affects
What is the relationship between air resistance and movement?
air resistance is cooler
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.
The temperature of a body of water influences what?
A body of water influences the air above it.
