What 3 factors affect the amount of air resistance acting on an object?
Speed, shape and frontal cross-section. Viscosity, texture, friction, gravity, velocity, size, and shape can all affect air resistance.
What are facts about air resistance?
What type of friction is air resistance?fluid friction. Air resistance is fluid friction. Air resistance occurs between the surface of a falling object and the air that surrounds it. Rolling friction occurs when a rounded surface moves over a solid and sliding friction occurs when a solid moves over another solid. Static friction occurs when a solid touches another solid but there is no movement.What two factors affect air resistance?size and shape. Size and shape are the two factors that affect air resistance. Air resistance works with surface area, so the more surface area, the more air resistance. Think about when you drop two pieces of paper: one crumpled and one flat. The crumpled one falls faster because there is less air resistance acting on the paper.
How are air resistance and friction alike?
Air resistance is a type of fluid friction (along with water resistance) and is therefore is a type of friction.
Is air resistance a contact or non contact force?
Air resistance is a contact force because you are in contact with the air in order to apply that force.
Who discovered air resistance?
Sir Isaac Newton mentions air resistance in Law Ipublished in his Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica.
What is the shape that reduces air resistance?
streamlined shape
What is the shape of a car which reduces air resistance?
The streamlining shape.
What is the best shape for avoiding air resistance?
The shape is triangle
What affects air resistance?
Fluid density, relative velocity, and object shape affect air resistance.
Does mass effect air resistance?
Not directly. Air resistance depends on an object's shape and type of surface.
How can water resistance and air resistance be reduced?
air resistance can be reduced by making the object that takes the air resistance stremlined. this means to make the object into a certain shape that alowes air to flow over the same is done in water but with a different shape
Does aluminum have a high air resistance?
Air resistance depends mainly on an object's shape, not so much on the material.
Does air resistance depend on weight?
No, only on the shape.
The sleek shape of a bobsled reduced what?
air resistance
What is air resistance affected by?
Air resistance is affected by surface area and Shape
Air resistance depends on what?
The amount of air resistance an object has depends on it's shape and it's frontal cross-section.
What features of an object will affect air resistance?
the amount of air resistance on an object depends on the size, shape, and speed of the object. Air resistance is the force that opposes the motion of objects through air.
