Give more flow. (air passage ways)
If your in a car and theres a hurricane near you, you don't want your windows closed. There would be air resistance and move your car.

How are air resistance and friction alike?
Air resistance is a type of fluid friction (along with water resistance) and is therefore is a type of friction.
What are facts about air resistance?
What type of friction is air resistance?fluid friction. Air resistance is fluid friction. Air resistance occurs between the surface of a falling object and the air that surrounds it. Rolling friction occurs when a rounded surface moves over a solid and sliding friction occurs when a solid moves over another solid. Static friction occurs when a solid touches another solid but there is no movement.What two factors affect air resistance?size and shape. Size and shape are the two factors that affect air resistance. Air resistance works with surface area, so the more surface area, the more air resistance. Think about when you drop two pieces of paper: one crumpled and one flat. The crumpled one falls faster because there is less air resistance acting on the paper.
Is air resistance a contact or non contact force?
Air resistance is a contact force because you are in contact with the air in order to apply that force.
Who discovered air resistance?
Sir Isaac Newton mentions air resistance in Law Ipublished in his Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica.
When did Sir Isaac Newton discovered air resistance?
while he was trying to discover gravity in 1977
How do you resist air resistance?
You don't "resist" it but you "reduce" it. For example, many vehicles and projectiles are made in a streamline design to reduce air resistance.
How does a plane reduce the effects of air resistance?
by flying in the air
Why is streamlining used?
to reduce air resistance or drag.
Why do planes have pointed fronts?
To reduce air resistance.
Why are some vehicles streamlined?
To reduce air resistance or drag.
Why are cars designed with smooth surfaces?
to reduce air resistance
What affect does streamlining have on forces?
It tends to reduce air (or water) resistance.
How do we reduce the effects of air resistance on a vehicle?
By giving it a streamlined shape.
How does a car reduce air resistance?
By designing the car to be as streamlined as possible.
Why do lorries have deflectors fitted?
To reduce the air resistance/drag acting against them and also to reduce the fuel consumption.
What objects are streamlined to reduce friction by air resistance?
like deflectors on lorries
What animal has streamlined shapes that reduce air resistance as it moves?
