Question

5. What two factors can increase the force of air resistance for an object?

Answer 1

To keep the topic simple, it can be said that the two most common factors that have a direct effect upon the amount of air resistance are the speed of the object and the cross-sectional area of the object. Increased speeds result in an increased amount of air resistance.

Answer 2

The two most common factors that determine the air resistance are the speed of the object and its cross-sectional area. Greater speed causes greater air resistance, and increased area increases air resistance as well. It also depends on an object's shape.
