Does an object that is in free fall seems to be slowed or speeded by air resistance?

this is a complicated question! initially, air resistance slows objects in free fall down. until a point in which the object reachs terminal velocity! Terminal velocity is when the object is at its maximum speed free falling the air resistance is equal to the acceleration so the object now neither speeds or slows down. also, the bigger the surface area the object has, the higher the air resistance will be, lowering the terminal velocity of the object.


What is the most aerodynamic shape possible for an object to minimize air resistance?

The most aerodynamic shape to minimize air resistance is a teardrop shape.


What is the friction of air?

friction in air is called air resistance. When a feather falls through the air, it is slowed down by this air resistance. as gravity pulls the feather down to the earth, air resistance pushes it up. gravity almost always wins, however, when the feather gets enough acceleration to overcome air resistance. the mass of the object effects the amount of air resistance. a feather has low mass, therefore is slowed down by air resistance. A rock has much mass, therefore air resistance doesn't effect it as much. this is why a rock appears to fall "faster" than a feather. take the rock and feather on the moon (something the Apollo astronauts did) and they fall at the same rate.


When an object falls through the air encounters air resistance its overall speed will be than if it had not encountered air resistance?

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.


What freature of an object does not affect air resistance?

The internal composition or material of an object does not affect air resistance. Air resistance is mainly determined by an object's size, shape, and speed when moving through air.

Should an object that is in free fall seems to be slowed or speeded by air resistance?

Slowed by air resistance I think I'm a freshman this year but I'm not smart at science but I'm 70% sure that's the answer

What methods of resistance do rowing machine manufactures use Explain each method?

Air - vanes on a flywheel are slowed by air resistance Water - vanes on a flywheel are slowed by water resistance Magnetic - flywheel on the rowing machine is slowed by force encountered from magnetism Friction - a wheel on the rowing machine is slowed from contact with a pad Hydraulic - resistance is provided by forcing oil through an orifice in a hydraulic cylinder Most 'real' rowing machines use air, some use water, all others are toys or worse (as in the case of hydraulic cylinders)

What is air resistance and what are the two factors that air resistance depends on?

Air resistance is the force that opposes the motion of an object through the air. It depends on the speed of the object and its surface area exposed to the air.


What feature characteristic of an object does not affect air resistance?

The feature characteristic of an object that does not affect air resistance is the object's mass. Air resistance is determined by the object's shape, size, and speed through the air, but not its mass.


What is air resistance affected by?

Air resistance is affected by the speed of the object moving through the air, the cross-sectional area of the object, the density of the air, and the shape of the object. Objects with larger surface areas and higher speeds experience greater air resistance.


What has high air resistance?

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.
