Air Resistance
In real life there are a lot factors that affect motion. When first learn physics it is much simpler to calculate the motion of an object if forces such as drag and friction are taken out of the equation because it simply makes understanding motion much easier. In this section we will be exploring the concept of air resistance in motion.
A Mathematical Model
Air resistance is a force that essentially pushes against a moving object, and opposes its motion. Much like other opposing forces air resistance is dependent on both the speed and the size of the surface area of the object. It can be defined by the equation File:Http://spiff.rit.edu/classes/phys369/workshops/w7r/eqn fair.png
