The moon is far enough from the Earth that its environs are essentially an absolute vacuum. No air means no drag.

What affected by air drag?

Air drag affects the motion of objects moving through the air by creating resistance that opposes their motion. This resistance can slow down the object and change its trajectory, impacting its speed and direction. Objects that are more streamlined or have less surface area experience less air drag.


Why is it so hard to breathe on the moon but easy to ride a bicycle?

First of, no one really knows if it would be easy to ride a bike on the moon or not, as it hasn't been tested. But I'm guessing that the requested answer is that the moon has no atmosphere, hence no air drag. No air drag AKA wind resistance, would make riding at speed a lot easier. But with no air, breathing gets kinda pointless.


What is a sentence for air drag?

The air drag was so heavy that it pulled me with it


If an astronaut where to drop a baseball on the moon which way would it go?

The baseball would fall straight down towards the moon's surface due to the moon's gravitational pull. There is no atmosphere on the moon to create air resistance or drag on the falling object.


How are the lift and drag components of the wing affected when you lower the flaps?

lift decrease and increase drag


What is air resistance also known as?

Air resistance is also known as drag or aerodynamic drag.


What is the acceleration by a freely falling object 5 seconds after it is dropped from rest?

It depends if it is affected by air resistance or not. If not then all objects close to the surface of the Earth have an acceleration of 9.81ms^-2 in free fall. If it is affected by air resistance you need all sorts of more information to answer that question, like the drag coefficient of the air.


Why a parachute would not be useful in landing on the moon?

Parachutes work because the resistance of the atmosphere slows them down.The moon has no atmosphere to speak of, therefore it would not impede the progress of a parachute. it would simply fall like a brick..Because there is or no air on moon parachutes need air to work. in other words a parachute on the moon would fall as fast as a block of leadActually there is gravity on the moon, but there is no air to slow the parachute down, and so it wouldn't make any difference to the falling speed.Parachutes need an atmosphere to work by causing air drag. The moon haven't got enough atmosphere for that to happen.


How is a hedgehog affected by the moon phases?

Hedgehogs are affected by moon phases in that this is how they will know if it is mating season.


What are the natural forces that affect running?

Drag. This is the force which acts against a runner and is the resultant force of the runner pushing against the particles in the air. Drag is affected by the mass and surface area of the runner. Friction is another force which can affect running.


What is the air on the moon?

No, there isn't any air resistance on the moon
