Air resistance is a force caused by...

Air pushing against moving objects

Water pushing against moving objects

Gravity pushing against moving objects

Normal force pushing against moving objects

Why are wings on airplanes curved at the top?

To make the air go faster over the top of the wing. This lowers the amount of pressure on the wing.

To make the pressure on top of the wing greater

That was the only model they had

What is water resistance ?

friction between moving object in water

friction between moving object in air

Objects #1, #2, #3, and #4 are sliding across the table. All blocks move at the same speed of 2 m/s. The blocks have different masses. Which block has the greatest air resistance force acting upon it?

All will have equal air resistance force.

Blocks #1, #2, #3, and #4 have equal mass. All four blocks slide across the table with a speed of 2 m/s. Which block has the lowest air resistance force acting upon it?

All have equal air resistance force.

Blocks #1, #2, #3, and #4 have equal mass. All four blocks slide across the table with a speed of 2 m/s. Which block has the greatest air resistance force acting upon it?

All have equal air resistance force.

Where will the airplane will be affected by the greatest air resistance force?

Moving on the runway (at the airport) at 100 m/s.

Flying at 2000 m altitude at 100 m/s

Flying at 5000 m altitude at 100 m/s

The airplane is affected by equal air resistance force at all three places.

Friction due to surfaces touching

When an objects speed is constant because of air resistance as it falls

The friction between two surfaces does not depend on one of the following. This one is:

amount of surface area of the two objects which is in contact with each other.

weight of the object which tends to move on the surface of other object

degree of smoothness of surfaces of two objects in contact with each other.

degree of roughness of surfaces of two objects in contact with each other
