| More subtle effects of air resistance on projectile motion are related to the shape and rotation of the object. |
|
| In many cases, air resistance will produce a drag force which is proportional to the velocity squared. |
|
| An individual insect was placed on the test material within a clear plastic canopy to eliminate effects of air resistance. |
|
| Dimples on spinning golf balls reduce air resistance and increase lift by creating turbulence in the air flowing past the balls. |

| Neglecting air resistance, a tiny marble will fall just as fast as a heavy bowling ball. |
|
| I have modeled it as proportional to the square of the velocity and determined an air resistance coefficient from the data, which varies from object to object. |
|
| A loadedup rear luggage rack will increase air resistance and in turn the fuel consumption of your car. |
|
| The rounding and sloping of deckhouse surfaces is about the only attempt made to design for minimal air resistance. |
|
| Alpine ski races wear lightweight, form-fitting clothing to minimize air resistance. |
|
| But there is no air resistance in the vacuum of space, and the sun shines continuously. |
|
| At terminal velocity, air resistance equals in magnitude the weight of the falling object. |
|
| In addition, they wear special skin-tight, hooded suits that cut down air resistance. |
|
| The flybridge is an option here as the height of the boat decides on the level of air resistance. |
|
| The less air resistance a car faces, the faster it can go and the more likely it is to win a race! |
|
| Rolling and air resistance are also simulated, giving you the feeling you are really riding through the mountains. |
|
| The Cycletrack Speedbraker's brake system consists of a fan unit with flywheel. During cycling, air resistance generates the power. |
|
| When not in use, the holder can be conveniently folded for reduced air resistance and easy storage. |
|
| Even on a still day, when a person or object is moving, the effect of air resistance can be felt. |
|
| The position of the duct at the air outlet must be chosen so as to avoid unnecessary air resistance. |
|
| These tests reflect the nomenclature A, B, C and F to designate respectively air resistance, water resistance, wind resistance and forced-entry. |
|
|
|
| The PVC frame sitisfies mechanical requirements and has wind, rain and air resistance and also gives good thermal insulation. |
|
| Only 100 km up, the air is 10 million times less dense than at the Earth's surface and air resistance is considerably weaker. |
|
| Skin suit: To minimize air resistance, speed skaters wear tight fitting spandex suits with an aerodynamic hood and thumb loops. |
|
| Initially they will accelerate, but they will soon reach a constant terminal velocity when the air resistance around them offsets their downward acceleration. |
|
| Total resistance is a combination of air resistance and mechanical resistance from tires, gears and bearings. |
|
| Students could brainstorm what they know and have experienced with respect to wind, air resistance, flying, bird and insect flight and leaves falling. |
|
| Those activities are examples of air resistance. |
|
| For aeration applications, the pump should be placed above the water surface level, otherwise install a reliable low air resistance check valve to prevent water back flow or siphon when electrical power is turned off. |
|
| Some are more fluffy, so they can generate more air resistance. |
|
| That would be low enough to cut air resistance drastically, but high enough to keep the pneumatics simple or at least simple compared with maintaining a hard vacuum. |
|
| In the absence of any air resistance, both the feather and the farthing are seen to fall at exactly the same rate and reach the bottom of the tube simultaneously. |
|
| Skaters wear skin-tight racing suits with hoods to reduce air resistance. |
|
| Besides the model of your car and your driving style, various other factors also determine your fuel consumption: your speed, use of equipment, air resistance and the vehicle's weight. |
|
| From then on, he devoted his time to operating the Tower and to various experiments in air resistance, the observation of meteorology and especially the installation of a giant antenna for the earliest radio broadcasts. |
|
| For many months, even years, sportsmen and engineers work on minor details to further reduce the air resistance of the bobsleigh and its crew or the friction of the runners. |
|
| Galileo postulated air resistance as the reason that objects with less mass may fall slower in an atmosphere. |
|
| Also, again ignoring air resistance, any and all objects, when dropped from the same height, will hit the ground at the same time. |
|
| As these larger water droplets descend, coalescence continues, so that drops become heavy enough to overcome air resistance and fall as rain. |
|
| In the real world, air resistance slows the disc, toppling it over. |
|
| Air resistance is a type of frictional force and it is worth considering some general points about friction first. |
