What force slows things down the most?

Friction and Air 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.


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.


How do air resistance and gravity affect a falling object?

Well, isn't that just a happy little question! Air resistance acts like a gentle breeze, slowing down the object as it falls. Gravity, on the other hand, pulls the object down towards the Earth. Together, they create a beautiful dance that determines how fast an object falls and how it moves through the air. Just remember, there are no mistakes in science, only happy little accidents!


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.

An air resistance can be called intertia?

You can call air resistance anything you like, but it isn't inertia. It's friction.


Does air resistance can be called intertia?

You can call air resistance anything you like, but it isn't inertia. It's friction.


Why do things float or sink?

Air resistance.


Why big things have a bigger air resistance than small things?

You have a false premise. Not ALL big things have bigger air resistance than small things. Air resistance must also factor in the direction of movement and the surface area against which the air is impacting, i.e., the shape of the objects.


Where is there less air?

Inside of vacuums, there is no air. In these spaces, you can create an environment, where there is little/no air resistance.


What is air resistance for kids?

Air resistance is a force that pushes against things as they move through the air. When you ride a bike, run, or jump, you can feel the force of air resistance trying to slow you down. The bigger or faster you are moving, the stronger the air resistance will be.


What two things does the amount of air resistance acting on an object depend on?

The amount of air resistance acting on an object depends on its speed (faster speeds result in greater air resistance) and its surface area (larger surface area increases air resistance).

How does wweight affect how things fly through the air?

If you ignore air resistance, weight has no effect at all.


Why does air resistance slow things down?

Air resistance slows things down because as an object moves through the air, it collides with air molecules, creating friction. This friction generates a force opposite to the direction of motion, reducing the speed of the object. The amount of air resistance depends on the shape, size, and speed of the object.


What part of muscle do air boxing will build?

Very little. There is no resistance to exercise the muscle.
