What do you get when you subtract the force of air resitance from the force of gravity?

First of all, gravity is not a force, it is an acceleration. What you mean is the force of weight, which is the acceleration of gravity multiplied by mass (all forces are vectors, and gravity is not a vector.) When air resistance is subtracted from weight, you have the net force on a falling object (assuming those are the only forces acting on it.)


Why is air resitance neglected in the model of projectile motion?

Air resistance is often neglected in the model of projectile motion because it simplifies the calculations and allows for easier analysis. In many cases, the effects of air resistance on the motion of a projectile are relatively small compared to other factors like gravity. Additionally, for short-range projectiles and for idealized conditions, the impact of air resistance may not significantly alter the final result.


Air resistance is a type of friction True or False?

Air- resistance is basically a type of friction between an object and the air


you find that it's easier to increase your speed on a bike if you crouch down and make your body as small as possible. how does this help you?

Crouching down on a bike reduces wind resistance, making it easier to push through the air, resulting in increased speed. By minimizing air drag, you can achieve higher velocities with less effort. Additionally, crouching position also allows for better aerodynamics, improving your overall cycling efficiency.


Air resistance is a type of what?

Air resistance is a type of fluid friction that acts on objects as they move through the air. It opposes the motion of the object, causing a drag force that slows it down.
