Is air resistance fluid friction?

At sub-sonic speeds, air resistance is fluid friction. At supersonic speeds, it is not.


Do higher wind speeds increase air temperature?

They can bring warmer air, but typically they don't change it, and it feels colder.


Can air flow increase the performace?

The faster the car travels trough the air, the more air resistance there will be so it will be harder for a car to accelerate (hence there are top speeds). However, there needs to be some air resistance for a car to move.


Do different objects fall at different speeds?

Air resistance


How can you increase air resistance?

you can increase air Resistance by adding more gravity and more air Resistance which is the push that comes from down to up and will cancel out with the gravity eventually!! sorry i thank i messed up hope i helped!


Can an objects acceleration increase if you drop it from a higher altitude?

no, acceleration due to gravity is always the same, although air resistance might affect it


How would adding air resistance change the results?

air resistance will increase the time for an object to fall to the ground


Does air resistance increase or decrease the acceleration of a falling obect?

Well, the more the air resistance, the lower the acceleration.


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.


Does a spoiler increase or decrease air resistance?

decrease


What happens to the air resistance as the parachute opens?

Air resistance will increase when the parachute opens, and the decent of the skydiver will slow down.
