The amount of air resistance an object experiences depends on its speed, its cross-sectional area, its shape and the density of the air. Air densities vary with altitude, temperature and humidity.

Following the law, the net force on the box must be equal to zero. Therefore, if the weight of the box of nails is 100 N , the amount of air resistance must also be 100 N . In other words, net force=100 N −100 N=0 N .

With air resistance, acceleration throughout a fall gets less than gravity (g) because air resistance affects the movement of the falling object by slowing it down. How much it slows the object down depends on the surface area of the object and its speed.

Drag is mentioned. Two ways to reduce air resistance are stated: reducing the area in contact with air (by the cyclist ducking down or cycling behind someone else) and by being more streamlined (wearing smoother surfaces or a more streamlined helmet).

Air resistance is a type of friction between air and another material. For example, when an aeroplane flies through the air, air particles hit the aeroplane making it more difficult for it to move through the air. It’s the same for an object moving through water. This is known as water resistance.

By definition, air resistance describes the forces that are in opposition to the relative motion of an object as it passes through the air. In terms of aerodynamics and flight, drag refers to both the forces acting opposite of thrust, as well as the forces working perpendicular to it (i.e. lift).

At first, only the gravitational force acts on the human giving an acceleration of -9.8 m/s2. However, as the human increases in speed, the air resistance force also increases. At some point, the air resistance force will be equal in magnitude to the gravitational force and the human will no longer increase in speed.

As a projectile moves through the air it is slowed down by air resistance. Air resistance will decrease the horizontal component of a projectile. The effect of air resistance is very small, but needs to be considered if you want to increase the horizontal component of a projectile.

Both encounter the same air resistance, but, the heavier ball has a greater downward force which overcomes the upward force of the air. The heavier ball will still reach a t erminal velocity. But, it will accelerate longer than the hollow ball, and its terminal velocity will be greater.

Gravity pulls the balls down the ramp, and the force of gravity is bigger on larger-mass objects. The extra force on the bigger ball means that it has more energy when it gets to the bottom of the ramp and consequently travels more before stopping.

The force in question is friction. There is also friction between the ground and part of the ball that touches the ground as it rolls. The friction force acts in the opposite direction to the motion of the ball, slowing it and eventually stopping it.

For example if a ball is hit harder, it will speed up faster. If an object must be slowed down quickly, the force applied to the object must be greater than what is needed for a gradual slowing down. For example, the greater the force applied to the brakes of a bicycle, the more quickly it will slow down or stop.

The force is proportional to the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

Newton’s second law of motion (also known as the force law ) states that… net force is directly proportional to mass when acceleration is constant. …

Increasing force tends to increase acceleration while increasing mass tends to decrease acceleration. Thus, the greater force on more massive objects is offset by the inverse influence of greater mass. Subsequently, all objects free fall at the same rate of acceleration, regardless of their mass.

If you increase the mass at a given force the rate of acceleration slows. Therefore, mass is inversely proportional to acceleration. Force is directly proportional to acceleration (force ~ acceleration) As force increases acceleration increases.
