Of course. Next time you're riding in a car, stick your hand
out of the window, with your palm facing forward. Can you
feel the force ? That's air resistance.

How would adding air resistance change the results?
air resistance will increase the time for an object to fall to the ground
How do gravity and air resistance affect a falling body?
Well gravity would pull the body to the ground. The greater the surface area of the body the more air resistance there would be.
How does size affect the speed of a falling parachute?
The larger the size of the parachute the more air resistance is caused because its larger surface traps more air. Becuase there is more air resistance the larger the parachute the slower it travels to the ground. The smaller the parachute the faster it falls to the ground for the opposite reason.
Why is it dangerous to jump of a tall building Explain this in terms of the forces acting on you?
There is no air resistance to keep you from hitting the ground, the density of your body is heavier then the air, causing you to fall quickly into the ground.
What slows down all objects once they are in motion?
This depends on the medium which they're travelling through. i.e Solid (ground), Liquid (water) or Gas (air) Along the ground, the force slowing the object is Friction In water, the force is Drag or water resistance In the air, the force is also drag. or Air resistance
What force can be felt be felt when you put hand out the window of a moving car?
Resistance from air.
How is air resistance used in a sentence?
air pressure is when air gets pressed down
How would adding air resistance change the results?
air resistance will increase the time for an object to fall to the ground
How can we slow down the skydiver?
Air resistance and ultimately the ground.
What is a example of fluid friction?
An example of fluid friction is the air resistance felt by an airplane.
Why does paper hit the ground slower than the stone?
Air resistance.
What causes a bullet To lose speed and fall to the ground?
Gravity and air resistance will both play a part. Air resistance is likely to reduce speed and gravity will cause the bullet to be pulled towards the ground.
Why will a ping pong ball hit the ground after a golf ball?
Air resistance.
A feather will fall to the ground more slowly than a brick because of what?
The resistance of the air.
If there are no air resistance what would happen to the hailstones?
If there are no air resistance the hailstones would hit the earth at velocities near 350 m/s and melt before they hit the ground.
How do gravity and air resistance affect a falling body?
Well gravity would pull the body to the ground. The greater the surface area of the body the more air resistance there would be.
What causes a flower to fall slower to the ground than a golf ball?
Air resistance. (friction).
