It basically explains that for every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force because the air resistance pushes the same amount of force and speed in the same direction of a falling object.

Wings are made to create lift (Boyle and Bernoulli's principles here, rather than Newton), but everything has to be considered and allowed for. The laws of motion and gravity that were first worked out by Sir Isaac are still in effect.

How does air resistance affect objects moving through the air?
Resistance (newtons) = velocity( in m/s)2 * drag coefficient of the object
When a 10 newton falling body encounters 4 newtons of air resistant the net force on the body is?
6 newtons, so it keeps accelerating. As it does, the air resistance increases until it reaches 10 newtons so then the net force is zero and then the fall continues at constant speed (the terminal velocity).
A 20 N falling object encounters 4 N of air pressure what is the magnitude of the net force on the object?
The object experiences 20 newtons pulling it down due to gravity. But it also experiences 4 newtons air resistance pushing it up. 20 - 4= 16 newtons net downward force on the object.
Neglecting air resistance what is the net force that acts on a 1-kg rock that is thrown strait upward when it is half way to the top of its path?
10 newtons
What is air resistance and what are the two factors that air resistance depends on?
Air Resistance is a force.
How powerful is air resistance?
aprroximately 9.81 Newtons as the upwards and downwards forces must balance and the acceleration of free-fall is 9.81 newtons therefore the air resistance must be equal.
How does air resistance affect objects moving through the air?
Resistance (newtons) = velocity( in m/s)2 * drag coefficient of the object
How are newton's laws used in football?
newtons laws are contributed by while the foot ball is in the air inertia acts on it.
Explain why friction changes the the Velocity of objects and why friction can make observing Newton's first law of motion difficult?
newtons laws are idealised and don't involve external forces like friction and air resistance
When a 10 newton falling body encounters 4 newtons of air resistant the net force on the body is?
6 newtons, so it keeps accelerating. As it does, the air resistance increases until it reaches 10 newtons so then the net force is zero and then the fall continues at constant speed (the terminal velocity).
What can air resistence do?
Offers a force opposed to motion, amount (newtons) is derived from: (Velocity 2 * drag coefficient) + rolling resistance
A 20 N falling object encounters 4 N of air pressure what is the magnitude of the net force on the object?
The object experiences 20 newtons pulling it down due to gravity. But it also experiences 4 newtons air resistance pushing it up. 20 - 4= 16 newtons net downward force on the object.
How playing paintball relates to newtons first law of motion?
You can relate it to the law of " an object will remain in motion unless acted upon another force". So, if you fire a paintball, in a vaccume it should continue forever. However, due to the air resistance and say a player in front of you, the paintball will stop.
Neglecting air resistance what is the net force that acts on a 1-kg rock that is thrown strait upward when it is half way to the top of its path?
10 newtons
How does shape and air resistance can effect the laws of gravity?
It doesn't. The force of gravity depends on the masses involved, and their distance. However, air resistance can introduce other forces, that counteract the force of gravity.
Example of Air resistance?
Calculate drag coefficient of freefaller (prior to chute opening)>(constant) force down (in newtons) due to gravity = mass * acceleration due to gravity, say 80 * 10 = 800 newtons.>The up force (newtons) = velocity2 * drag coefficient>At terminal velocity (where up and down forces balance) the up force = 800 newtons, say terminal velocity = 70 metres / second>800 = 4900 * drag coefficient>Drag coefficient = 800 / 4900>Drag coefficient = 0.163
What is air resistance and what are the two factors that air resistance depends on?
Air Resistance is a force.
