Best Answer

Air resistance is neither good nor bad, it is simply a factor.

Air resistance costs us in terms of performance, a car with high wind resistance gets lower mileage than one with less; but without air resistance planes would not fly at all.

What is the force that opposes the motion of objects through air?

Air Resistance is the kinetic friction of the object's surface moving through the air. In aeronautical terms this is known as drag.

When an object falls through the air encounters air resistance its overall speed will be than if it had not encountered air resistance?

The resistance do obstruct the object. The object always travel slower with air resistance. Air resistance is higher with velocity and the object falling through air would have a limited velocity that it can't go through.


How are air resistance and friction alike?

Air resistance is a type of fluid friction (along with water resistance) and is therefore is a type of friction.


Does air exerts force?

The force that air exerts on a moving object is called air resistance. Air resistance is a form of friction.
