What is one thing sprinters do to decrease resistance from air?

to decrease air resistance, when running, sprinters let their hands hang loose instead of making fists. this decreases the amount of air your hand has to break through.

Why does decreasing the surface area of a piece of paper decrease its air resistance when it is dropped in the air?
Thanks for the Hairbrush.
How does a car increases and decreases friction?
To increase friction, the car goes faster so that the air resistance becomes greater. To decrease friction the car goes slower to decrease the air resistance acting on the car. Hope that helped:)
How does air resistance affect terminal velocity?
Without air resistance, there would be no such thing as terminal velocity.
Why the air resistance decrease the acceleration on falling object?
Drop a pound of feathers (in a bag) and a pound of lead from a height. The smaller mass of the lead will let it fall faster due to less air resistance, than the greater mass and much greater air resistance of the feathers.
How parachutes decrease terminal velocity?
There is more surface area for the air particles to hit making the weight to air resistance ratio unbalanced.
Does a spoiler increase or decrease air resistance?
decrease
Does air resistance increase or decrease the acceleration of a falling obect?
Well, the more the air resistance, the lower the acceleration.
Does air resistance increase or decrease the acceleration of a falling leaf from a tree?
Air resistance decreases acceleration of falling objects

Why does the amplitude of a simple pendulum decrease?
Air resistance against the bob and string and friction in the pivot make the amplitude of a simple pendulum decrease.
Why does fuel economy decrease exponentially over 55 mph?
because air resistance rises exponentially.
Why the air resistance decrease the acceleration on falling object?
Drop a pound of feathers (in a bag) and a pound of lead from a height. The smaller mass of the lead will let it fall faster due to less air resistance, than the greater mass and much greater air resistance of the feathers.

How do you decrease air resistance?
Resitance of air varies based on: 1. Percentage content of moisture (higher the moisture, lesser the resistance) 2. Percentage content of suspended dust particles and conductivity of those suspended particles (higher the content, lesser the resistance)
Why resistance forces increase with speed?
The faster you go the more stuff you run into. Air resistance is a real thing.
