1. The actual path taken by the orbiter is complex and designed to minimize the effect of air resistance on the craft. 2. The pectoralis major muscle contracts, the wing is pulled down, air resistances gives an upthrust on the wing. 3. As you pedal, the roller takes resistance from a magnet or a turbo fan, which has fins that create more air resistance when the fan speed increases. 4. Above that, it matters a great deal, because air resistance goes up exponentially as speed increases. 5. Air resistance would slow down the tennis ball, it said, so the smoother, metal ball would indeed land first. 6. For athletes, breathing easier will mean more air resistance and slower speeds. 7. In the real world, air resistance slows the disc, toppling it over. 8. The air resistance they meet on the way down tends to flatten them on the bottom, while they retain the rounded shape on top. 9. The differences are due to air resistance, says Chartuk. 10. The rotation on a ball is a force that works in conjunction with air resistance and gravity to create a total force that determines the path of a ball. |
