How do you reduce air resistance?
Give more flow. (air passage ways) If your in a car and theres a hurricane near you, you don't want your windows closed. There would be air resistance and move your car.
What overall change in the shape of a car would reduce the effect of air resistance?
inclined
Why do car designers like to reduce air resistance on cars?
They do it because it makes the car faster and more fuel efficient as it is not having as much resistance pushing against it.
How does aerodynamics be used to reduce air resistance?
how can aerodynamics be used to reduce air redistence
How do you improve streamlining on a car?
Wind tunnels are used to improve the streamlining of cars.The shape of a car can be made like a tear-drop or like an aeroplane wing to reduce air resistance. Sometimes a spoiler is fitted at the the back to improve the air flow making it more streamlined. Another way to reduce air resistance is to make the car closer to the ground.
How do you resist air resistance?
You don't "resist" it but you "reduce" it. For example, many vehicles and projectiles are made in a streamline design to reduce air resistance.
How does a plane reduce the effects of air resistance?
by flying in the air
What are the two main things done to car to improve streamlining?

Why is streamlining used?
to reduce air resistance or drag.
Why do planes have pointed fronts?
To reduce air resistance.
Give examples please. Is air resistance harmful?
Air resistance is both helpful and harmful, depending on the circumstances. If you are using a parachute to slow your descent while skydiving, then you need air resistance to work against the acceleration of gravity. In that case, it would be helpful. However, if you were trying to reduce aerodynamic resistance (in a fast-moving car or airplane), then air resistance would be harmful. In a car, as it moves forward, the air pushes back against the profile of the car. This exerts a backward force, meaning that your car has to work harder to accelerate the faster it goes, because of the increase air resistance pushing back against the car. This is the reason why aerodynamics is so important in high-performance vehicle design.
Why are cars designed with smooth surfaces?
to reduce air resistance
