The resistance do obstruct the object. The object always travel slower with air resistance. Air resistance is higher with velocity and the object falling through air would have a limited velocity that it can't go through.
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.
Air resistance is a function of area, not materials. However, a lighter plastic object will fall more slowly than a heavier metal object with the same surface area.
Air resistance is affected by surface area and Shape

Air resistance is a friction force, the flow of air over a surface will cause friction and produce drag. Thanks

The air resistance on any object depends upon 2 factors these are:Surface area of the object i.e;the more the surface area the more will be the air resistence as most of the air is comming in contact with the body of the surface and thus more resistant is the body to the air.Secondly,the speed at which the object is moving i.e:the more the speed the greater will be the air resistance exerted on an object.
Air resistance
Air resistance is a function of area, not materials. However, a lighter plastic object will fall more slowly than a heavier metal object with the same surface area.
As a falling object accelerates through air, its speed increases and air resistance increases. While gravity pulls the object down, we find that air resistance is trying to limit the object's speed. Air resistance reduces the acceleration of a falling object. It would accelerate faster if it was falling in a vacuum.
Air resistance is affected by surface area and Shape
Gravity continually pulls an object down, creating friction as an object moves along a surface, and air itself creates resistance, known as air resistance.
Air resistance is air itself slowing down an object travelling through it.
It reduces the acceleration of the falling object due to friction.
