People can increase air resistance by changing the shape or texture of an object moving through the air. For example, increasing the surface area of an object or adding rough surfaces can increase air resistance. This is often done to slow down an object or provide stability during flight, such as with parachutes or air brakes on vehicles.

What are two ways to increase air resistance of an object?

Increasing the surface area of the object, such as by adding flaps or a parachute, can increase air resistance. Additionally, increasing the object's speed will also increase the air resistance acting on it.


Does air resistance increase or decrease the acceleration of a falling obect?

Well, the more the air resistance, the lower the acceleration.


Does a spoiler increase or decrease air resistance?

decrease


What happens to the air resistance as the parachute opens?

Air resistance will increase when the parachute opens, and the decent of the skydiver will slow down.


Should we increase air resistance on a falling object?

No, we have no influence on that.


What objects increase air resistance?

Objects that increase air resistance include large surface area objects (such as flags or parachutes), rough or uneven surfaces, and objects with irregular shapes (such as a car spoiler or a parachute harness). These objects create more friction with the air as they move, resulting in higher air resistance.


How does water or air resistance against an object increase speed?

It doesn't increase speed. The word resistance means to resist. In other words it decreases speed.


Which direction does the parachutist go if gravity is greater than air resistance?

The parachutist will go down, of course. If gravity is greater than air resistance, then the parachutist would accelerate (his speed would increase). This would increase air resistance, up to the point where gravity and air resistance are in balance.


How can you increase air resistance?

you can increase air Resistance by adding more gravity and more air Resistance which is the push that comes from down to up and will cancel out with the gravity eventually!! sorry i thank i messed up hope i helped!


Can Parachutists reduce their air resistance by increasing the size of the cross-section they present to the air?

no, the reverse, you will increase it


Air resistance as you move faster?

As an object moves faster through the air, there is an increase in air resistance acting against it. This is due to a greater amount of air molecules being disturbed and pushed aside, resulting in a higher force opposing the motion of the object. The increase in air resistance can lead to higher energy consumption and slower acceleration for the moving object.


How does an open parachute increase the air resistance of a falling?

by increasing surface area
