Whenever any object moves through air (eg an aeroplane) it observes four forces 1 Drag force 2. lift force 3.weight of object 4.thrust created by the propellers or engine of the object. The drag force is directed opposite to the direction of moment of the object and slows the object down.
What else can I help you with?
What force slows things down the most?
Friction and Air Resistance
How does air resistance affect the height of a bottle rocket?
The vertical components of the air resistance acts vertically down on it. This adds to the effect of the gravitational force. Therefore net force is increased - it slows down more rapidly and so does not rise as far.
Air and water resistance?
Air resistance is that resistance when substance moves in air and it expresses a opposite force on it. However, water restinace is water when a substance moves thorugh water and it expresses and oppoisite force.
The upward force of a liquid or air on an object that helps it float?
The force that makes things float is called buoyancy.
In what direction does the force of air resistance act?
As far as I understand the direction of the force of air resistance acts in the opposite way to which you are going... In other words if a ball was thrown up at 20 m/s and the force of air resistance was 1m/s2 then for every second the ball goes up, it would slow down by 1m/s (assuming there was no gravity). The same applies if it was going down at 20 m/s it would slow down by 1m/s. When a parachutist opens a parachute, gravity tries to pull it down and air resistance keep it up.I think so.
What force slows things down the most?
Friction and Air Resistance
What is the name of the force that slows thing down in air or water?
The force that slows things down in air or water is called drag. It is caused by the resistance of the air or water molecules against the motion of an object moving through them.
What is A force that slows down things moving through air?
Air resistance or drag is a force that slows down objects moving through the air. It is caused by the friction between the object and the air molecules it encounters, which creates a resistive force that opposes the object's motion.
What force slows down a falling object?
Gravity is the force that causes objects to fall, while air resistance or drag slows down a falling object as it moves through the air. The larger the surface area of the object, the greater the air resistance force, which opposes the force of gravity and slows the object down.
The force which slows down a parachutist?
Air resistance or upthrust :)
What force slows down parachutist?
'Drag' which is air resistance.
What is the force that slows a parachutist down as they fall through the air?
Air Resistance or friction with the air.
What is the force that slows down airplanes?
Air friction, which is measured as drag.
What force slows things moving in the air?
Air resistance, also known as drag, is the force that slows down objects moving through the air. It occurs due to the friction and collisions between the object and the air molecules. The amount of air resistance depends on the object's speed, size, shape, and the air density.
What force slows down a parachutist?
Air resistance, also known as drag, is the force that slows down a parachutist as they fall through the air. The parachute helps increase the surface area, resulting in more drag force and slowing down the descent.
What force opposes gravity and slows down an object falling through the air?
drag force (frictional force exerted by air) or air reststance
What force increases when a heavy wind slows a bird down?
Air resistance
