Wind resistance held the cyclist back, so he wasn't going downhill as fast as he wanted to.
Example sentence - He checked the air pressure in the tires everyday to ensure safety.
Objects such as parachutes, kites, and airplanes experience air resistance. Air resistance is the force that opposes the motion of an object as it moves through the air, affecting its speed and trajectory.
(aerodynamic means affected by motion through the air, or streamlined)"The aerodynamic design of the airplane allows it to fly faster, and use less fuel.""The aerodynamic pressures on a rocket can cause it to break up if it is not properly aligned in flight."
No. But it's designed to do its job by taking advantage of air resistance.
Parachutes use air resistance to slow down the descent of a skydiver. Cyclists benefit from air resistance when drafting behind other riders to reduce drag. Aircraft wings are designed to utilize air resistance to generate lift and enable flight. Race cars use aerodynamic features to create downforce through air resistance for better grip on the track. Swimmers can utilize air resistance to help streamline their bodies and move more efficiently through the water.
Resistance is futile!
