Air resistance is extremely important in speedskating. A race can be decided on one one-hundredths of a second, so being as aerodynamic as possible is very important to reduce drag and skate faster.

∙ 14y agoWell, this is not a perfect world and when playing soccer and kick the ball straight to the goalie or a teammate I doubt it will go straight. That is because of air resistance formed between the ball and air around it.
The strength of the air resistance depend on both how high you kick the ball, the mass of the ball, and the speed of the ball.

∙ 14y agoBecause if u have alot of air resistance it will slow u down i think so if u are really low and close to the ground there is less air resistance and u will go faster i think

Why is air resistance important?
because it just is dont ask why
Does Zimbabwe have a bobsledding team?
No it currently does not have a bobsledding team.
Why it is important for satellites be outside the earth's atmosphere?
Air resistance. if in air they would slow down and fall.
What is importance of air resistance?
Air resistance is the force exerted on an object when it travels through an atmosphere. It can be used to slow objects down, such as skydivers, however in most applications, the object is to avoid air resistance. Vehicles, such as a Toyota Prius, or air planes, such as a commercial jet, strive to avoid air resistance (or become more aerodynamic) as a way to decrease fuel consumption or increase maximum speed. Air resistance increases exponentially with an object's velocity.
What is air resistance and what are the two factors that air resistance depends on?
Air Resistance is a force.
Where was bobsledding?
Bobsledding originated in Switzerland in 1890 and became an Olympic event in 1924. Women's bobsledding became an Olympic event in 2002.
What force slows objects moving through the air?
Air resistance
How molecules in the air cause air resistance?

Why does the oscillation of a pendulum gradually slows down after a certain interval of time?
Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.
What year did women's bobsledding become an official event?
Women's bobsledding became an official event in 2002. The men's bobsledding event was started officially in the 1932 Olympics.
What is the force that opposes the motion of objects through air?
Air Resistance is the kinetic friction of the object's surface moving through the air. In aeronautical terms this is known as drag.
Is air resistance in a ball being thrown?
Yes, air resistance is on everything where there is air.
