What is air resistance and how does it affect a falling object?
Air resistance is the force acting on an object moving in air that tends to slow it down or produce drag. If a stone is falling, air resistance will be acting on it to try to slow it. Should we consider a jet moving through air, air resistance will be providing drag to slow the jet down.
How does friction and air resistance affects the motion of a object?
They'll try to slow it down.
Once an object is in motion what is an example of a force that will slow it down?
Friction. Air Resistance or Water Resistance, depending on where you are and what your doing.
What happens when the forces upthrust and air resistance are applied to objects?
If enough upthrust is added to an object then it will be pushed upwards. If enough air resistance is applied to an object then it will move in the direction which the air resistance is pushing it in. If you are already falling, then you will have air resistance. If it is increased when you open a parachute for instance, then you will slow down.
What happens to the speed of an object when it is thrown up in the air and when it comes back down?
an object thrown into the air will slow down as it ascends higher into the air until it stops ascending and the speed of the object increases as it falls until it reaches its terminal velocity in air. As an object passes through air, it encounters air resistance which slows down an object moving freely through air. An object will be moving at a slower speed when it hits the ground than it did when it was thrown into the air due to this air resistance.
What is aerobraking?
It is using air resistance to slow an object down.

On Earth which forces tend to slow an object down?
Air resistance, Gravity, Friction and Water resistance(Water and Air resistance depending if it's in air or water)

Friction. Air Resistance or Water Resistance, depending on where you are and what your doing.
What happened if there was no air resistance?
a moving object would only stop if it met an obstruction and it would not slow down if it was in the air

What force slows objects moving through the air?
Air resistance
What is air r esistance?
Air resistance, also known as drag, is the force that opposes the motion of an object through air. It is caused by the collision of air molecules with the surface of the object and increases with the speed of the object. Air resistance can slow down moving objects and affect their trajectory.
Can friction slow down an object in the air?
Yes, friction can certainly slow down the movement of an object in air. The molecules in the air impede the progress of a moving object.
Can you throw objects faster in space or on earth?
Space bcause theres no air resistance to slow down the object in space.
