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.


Does the speed change if air resistance is a factor?

A faster-moving object will have increased air resistance because more molecules of air will be encountered over the same time frame. The same holds true if an object that encounters denser air: there is more air resistance, therefore more lift as well as more drag.

What year was air resistance discovered in?

Air resistance was first discovered in the 16th century by Italian scientist Galileo Galilei through his experiments with falling objects.


Who when and how was electrical resistance discovered?

electrical resistance was discovered by Georg Ohm in the late 1820's.


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?

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.


Who discovered the law of electrical resistance?

Is air a source of resistance?

Yes, air can provide resistance to objects moving through it. This resistance, known as air resistance or drag, is caused by air molecules colliding with the moving object and can slow down its motion.
