Objects moving through air are slowed down due to air resistance, sometimes called drag. This air resistance affects a spacecraft when it re-enters the Earth’s atmosphere but also the path of a projectile such as a bullet or a ball. The maximum height, the range and the velocity of the projectile are all reduced.Click to see full answer. In this way, how do you account for air resistance in projectile motion?Mathematically, the resistive force represented by the vector F can be written as F=-f(v) u, where u=V/|V| is the unit vector along the direction of the velocity V. The minus sign guarantees that the air resistance acting on the projectile is always opposite to the direction of its velocity. what role does air resistance play in affecting your data? Air resistance will affect the rocket’s speed as gravity pulls down. All in all, air resistance will reduce the acceleration of the rocket. Secondly, does air resistance affect time of flight? The air resistance helps the object going up, thus decreasing the time going up while the air resistance delays the object going down, thus increasing the time going down. The reason behind this is that the air resistance has a greater effect on a fast-moving object ( greater velocity).Why do we neglect air resistance in projectile motion?Without air resistance, there would be no curve balls. In Denver, the altitude is high enough so that air resistance is much smaller than at sea level. Why does the vertical component in a projectile motion in the presence of air resistance increase to a constant value, but the x component decreases to 0?
