Air resistance has no effect on gravity. The force of friction due to air resistance
against a falling object balances part or all of the gravitational force, depending
on the object's shape and speed through the air ... just as your hand or a rubber
band attached to the object would ... but the full force of gravity is still there.
When air resistance is greater than the force of gravity acting on an object, it will slow down the object's descent. This is because the air resistance force counteracts the force of gravity, reducing the acceleration of the object as it falls.
The cumulative effect of gravity and air resistance determines an object's terminal velocity. Initially, gravity accelerates the object, while air resistance acts in the opposite direction. As the object gains speed, air resistance increases until it becomes equal in magnitude to the force of gravity. At this point, the net force on the object is zero, resulting in a constant terminal velocity where the forces are balanced.
Air does not affect gravity directly, as gravity is a force of attraction between objects with mass. However, air resistance can have an impact on the motion of objects falling through the air, as it opposes the force of gravity and can slow down the object's descent.
-- The force of gravity is unchanged before and after.-- The force of air resistance on the skydiver is greater before, and less after,because she is falling slower after the parachute opens.-- The effect on her of air resistance is greater after the parachute is open. Theincreased air resistance itself acts on the parachute, and its effect is transferredto the skydiver through her harness.
No, air resistance is not a form of gravity. Air resistance is a type of friction that acts on objects moving through the air, slowing them down. Gravity, on the other hand, is the force of attraction between objects with mass.
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.

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.
The potential energy of the elasticity of the catapult material, air resistance, gravity.
Air resistance acts against the force of gravity, slowing down the descent of a parachute. The larger the surface area of the parachute, the more air resistance it creates, which helps to slow down its fall. Gravity, on the other hand, pulls the parachute downwards with a force proportional to the mass of the parachute. Balancing these forces allows the parachute to descend safely and slowly.
Gravity is typically stronger than air resistance. Gravity is a fundamental force that pulls objects towards each other, whereas air resistance is a type of friction that opposes the motion of an object moving through the air. This means that in most cases, gravity will have a greater impact on the motion of an object compared to air resistance.
