Air resistance is also called drag on a vehicle.
When the vehicle moves forward it must push the air molecules out of the way, this causes resistance or friction. The faster the vehicle is going, the faster it is pushing the air molecules out of the way causing greater resistance.

Air resistance is one force acting on a moving car. what causes air resistance?
Air resistance is caused by the friction between the moving car and the air molecules it comes into contact with. As the car moves through the air, these air molecules push against the surface of the car, creating resistance that opposes the car's motion.
Can air resistance affect the distance that a toy car does?
Yes, air resistance can affect the distance a toy car travels. A toy car moving through the air experiences air resistance, which can slow it down and reduce its overall distance traveled. Increasing the car's speed may also increase the impact of air resistance.
What happens to the air resistance on a car as the car goes faster?
The resistance is greater the faster the vehicle is going.
How can you use air resistance in a sentence?
Removing side mirrors from a car will lower it's air resistance.
Can air flow increase the performace?
The faster the car travels trough the air, the more air resistance there will be so it will be harder for a car to accelerate (hence there are top speeds). However, there needs to be some air resistance for a car to move.
The faster the car the stronger the air resistance?
Yes, as a car travels at a higher speed, it encounters more air resistance. This is because the air particles collide with the car's surface more frequently, creating a stronger force that opposes the car's motion. This resistance ultimately limits how fast a car can travel efficiently.
How does a car reduce air resistance?
By designing the car to be as streamlined as possible.
Does a car use wind resistance?
Wind resistance (actually, Air Resistance) works against a car- it has to push air out of the way. Cars that are "streamlined" are designed so they slip through the air more easily than those that are not.
Compare the sizes of forward force and air resistance while a car is moving at 30mph?
when a car is speeding up how does the forward force and air resistance compare
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.
Does it make a 4.8 derby car good with air resistance?
No. Because air resistance includes with friction even if I is that heavy.
Ways that air resistance is helpful?
if you are driving a car and you are driving in the snow the air beneath the car and infront the car it will stop the car from crashing
