- Air resistance
Air resistance is a kind of friction (a force that opposes motion) which occurs between air and another object. It is the force that the object experiences as it passes through the air. - Air resistance formula
Air resistance is a force that affects objects that move through the air. - When does the air resistance force make a difference?
I OFTEN LOOK at cases where things are falling. We typically call this "free fall" motion because the object is moving only under the influence of the gravitational force. With only the gravitational force, the object has a constant acceleration and the motion is fairly simple to model.
