Yes, unless speaking about parachutists who refer to free fall as falling through the air without opening their parachutes.
Air resistance acts in the direction opposite to the motion of a falling object, slowing it down. The faster an object moves through the air, the greater the air resistance it experiences. This force ultimately affects the speed and trajectory of the falling object.
It reduces the acceleration of the falling object due to friction.
The mass of an object will not affect the time it takes for it to reach the ground from a fixed height. Backspace
The motion of a free falling object is influenced by the acceleration due to gravity, air resistance, and the initial velocity of the object. The mass and shape of the object can also affect its motion as it falls.
The force that opposes the downward motion of a falling object is air resistance, also known as drag force. This force acts in the opposite direction to the motion of the object and increases with the speed of the object.
Gravity is one, and I believe that friction is the other. Friction here being caused by the resistance to motion of the fluid the object is falling in. Generally this is termed air resistance or drag and it is related to the object's velocity and cross section as well as the fluid's viscosity.
Air resistance creates friction and slows a falling object.
Inertia.
The object opposes the air and while falling of the object the initial velocity will become zero , and the final velocity will have some value's this is how air will resist the velocity of falling object ...........
-- gravity -- air resistance
Just like any other source of friction, air resistance effectively results in a force opposite to the object's motion. If the object is falling, then the force is upward.
The shape of the object and the density of the gas that the object is falling through.
