What is the force called that opposes motion?

It is friction. In air, it can also be called air resistance. Similarly, in water, it can also be called water resistance.


What is it meant by shear force?

Force acting on a substance in a direction perpendicular to the extension of the substance, as for example the pressure of air along the front of an airplane wing. Shear forces often result in shear strain. Resistance to such forces in a fluid is linked to its viscosity. Also called shearing force .


What force slows down object in the air?

The answer is gravity.they also experience a upward force called air resistance


What is out put force?

the force exerted by the machine also known as the resistance force


What is forced out?

the force exerted by the machine also known as the resistance force


What happens scietifically when 1000 of force to an object with 1100N of resistance force?

What happens is that the resistance of 1100 newton is the MAXIMUM resistance. If a force of 1000 newton is applied, the actual resistance will also be 1000 newton. If a force greater than the maximum force of friction is applied, the object will start to move.


Does the force of friction also act on the objects moving in the air?

Yes. It's called wind resistance, or air resistance, or air drag. Items with little drag are said to be streamlined.


Which term is defined as the force applied to a machine?

There is no force called effort force.All force are called force. You may heard Gravitational force, frictional force before because that is the name given by the scientist. So if you do not know what is the name(because sometimes there is none,just like your case on force provided by a machine) just simply call it a force.


What is also known as the drag force acting on a falling sky diver is?

It's also known as the force of air resistance.


What is absolute velocity is it the other name for the velocity of a free falling body when the net force of air resistance and gravity is zero?

yes. also called terminal velocity.


Using force diagrams the ways in which air resistance can play an important part in reducing the cyclists speed?

draw a bicycle with an arrow pointing forward (this is the force applied by the cyclist) draw an arrow in the opposite direction this is air resistance the overall force will be equal to the forward force minus the backward (air resistance force) from this it is clear to see that it limits the cyclists speed it may also be worth noting that as the cyclist increases speed so does the the air resistance


What is the force you exert on an airplane as it is flying in the air?

Weight. Also, the moving air around the plane causes friction
