It keeps us from hearing all the shots around the world.
It keeps every wind from being a hurricane.
It slows bullets.
It holds up kites and parachutes.
It makes us aware of breathing.

Does it make a 4.8 derby car good with air resistance?

No. Because air resistance includes with friction even if I is that heavy.


Why is air resistance bad?

Air resistance is neither good nor bad, it is simply a factor. Air resistance costs us in terms of performance, a car with high wind resistance gets lower mileage than one with less; but without air resistance planes would not fly at all.

What is a good example of air resistance?

A good example of air resistance is when a skydiver jumps out of a plane and feels the force of the air pushing against their body as they fall. This force slows down their descent and creates drag.


Why is stream lining good for cars?

Because it reduces air resistance and friction.


What is air resistance and what are the two factors that air resistance depends on?

Air resistance is the force that opposes the motion of an object through the air. It depends on the speed of the object and its surface area exposed to the air.


What force slows objects moving through the air?

Air resistance


Why does the oscillation of a pendulum gradually slows down after a certain interval of time?

When an object falls through the air encounters air resistance its overall speed will be than if it had not encountered air resistance?

The resistance do obstruct the object. The object always travel slower with air resistance. Air resistance is higher with velocity and the object falling through air would have a limited velocity that it can't go through.


How does surface area affect air resistance?

air resistance affects


What are the different types of resistance available on exercise bikes?

The different types of resistance available on exercise bikes are magnetic resistance, air resistance, and friction resistance. Magnetic resistance uses magnets to create resistance, air resistance uses air to create resistance, and friction resistance uses a brake pad to create resistance.


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.
