Why is air resistance important in bobsledding?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Well, 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.

Answer 3

The more air resistance you have, the harder it is to move. So if you want to go as fast and as far as possible while using the least amount of energy... You mise well reduce your wind resistance.

Answer 4

Because 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

Answer 5

Without speed, you really couldn't go. Speed gives momentum, and momentum is what allows you to glide against the surface without gravity pulling you down and off the surface.
