Question

what is air resistance?

Answer 1

Here on Earth, we tend to take air resistance (aka. “drag”) for granted. We just assume that when we throw a ball, launch an aircraft, deorbit a spacecraft, or fire a bullet from a gun, that the act of it traveling through our atmosphere will naturally slow it down. But what is the reason for this? Just how is air able to slow an object down, whether it is in free-fall or in flight?

Answer 2

Hello dear your answer

age resistance describe the post that are in opposition to relative motion of an object as it passes through the air. this drag force at opposite to the oncoming flow velocity does slowing the object down.


Thanks!!
