See aerodynamic resistance.
The force of air pushing against a moving object.
The resistance of air against an object, such as an automobile, trying to pass through it. Also referred to as air drag, aerodynamic drag, and aerodynamic resistance.
The friction, the decrease in velocity that applies to objects moving through air.
A force that tires to slow things down that are moving through air. It is a type of friction.
Air resistance is the force opposing the motion experienced by any object moving through air. Air resistance is a form of drag. Friction
A resistive (frictional) force, which is the result of a moving object colliding with air molecules.
When a projectile is slowed during the shooting process, due to conflict with the atmosphere.
The slowing effect of air on a projectile in flight.
A force of friction produced when an object moves through the air. Forces and motion
The slowing effect on a projectile in flight, due to friction with the atmosphere.
The resistance of the air to forward movement, sometimes called "aerodynamic drag." This is a factor of the shape of the vehicle, the objects which stick out (i.e., mirrors, mufflers, bumpers), the amount of turbulence at the rear of the vehicle, the nature of the vehicle's skin surface, and the amount of air going through the vehicle for cooling and ventilation. The faster you go, the greater the air friction (air friction = velocity x velocity). The faster you go, the greater the amount of power needed to overcome this drag (power= velocity x velocity x velocity).
