what is air resistance?give two examples from daily life where its effect is used.
Answers
So, there is a lot of air resistance and that resistance makes light objects fall slower. For example; When a feather falls, it falls slowly because the air is in its way. If you dropped a feather and a golf ball at the same time in a vacuum (space with no air), the feather would drop as fast as the golf ball.
Explanation:
Air resistance is a frictional force that air pushes against a moving object.
It is also known as drag.
Air resistance always tries to slows a moving object down.
The faster you move, the greater the resistance.
For example;
The faster the vehicle -moves, the bigger the air resistance becomes.
Examples of air resistance
When you ride your bicycle fast, you can feel the air pushing back against your face and body.
Air resistance - Riding a bike
On a day with heavy blowing winds, it is very difficult to walk through air, as it pushes back against you.
When a parachute falls down, air resists its movement causing the parachute to fall slowly.
