Say you are jumping out a plane and you open out your parachute and all of a sudden you slow down that is because the parachute has a big surface area and lots of air-resistance can get inside and slows you down.

Answer:Many factors affect a hockey player. What they wear, the stick they use and the effects of air on the puck. Uniforms, sticks and the puck have been changed over time to reduce drag (air resistance) during the game. If they can move over a designated distance with less drag, they can be faster than their opponent. If the stick has less drag, it moves faster and hits the puck with more force. If the puck is more streamlined, it will travel faster and farther across the ice or through the air. More changes will be made in the future to deal with this problem.

Where does air hockey have air resistance?

yes, it just has less friction across the table from the air pushing up on the puck through the holes.

Is there friction on an air hockey table?

yes and no, It depends on what type of friction. it has no friction with the table, but it does have friction from the air being pushed from beneath. What slows the puck down the most is air resistance

What are the applications of air resistance?

Air resistance affects the motion of objects through the air by slowing them down. This is important in sports like cycling, skiing, and swimming where minimizing air resistance can improve performance. It also plays a role in designing structures like buildings and bridges to withstand wind forces.


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.


An air hockey puck bouncing off the sides of the table is an example of projectile motion.?

No. The definition of projectile motion is an object dropped launched into the air, which is acted upon by gravity. (For the basic forms of the motion, air resistance is ignored.)


Why is air hockey called air hockey?

The table is set up like a hockey rink and air comes from the bottom to help the disk move faster.


What is the most important factor in determining airway resistance?

The diameter of the airway is the most important factor in determining airway resistance. A smaller diameter increases resistance, making it harder for air to flow. Factors such as mucus, inflammation, and constriction can also affect airway resistance.
