What, besides speed, affects the air resistance on a skydiver?
The factor that affects the air resistance on a skydiver.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Every freely falling objects experience a air resistance.
Air resistance decreases speed of an object.
The air resistance proportional to speed and frontal area. As surface area is large, greater air resistance will be experienced by an object. The air resistance is proportional to speed and frontal area.
Conclusion:
Surface area affects the air resistance of a skydiver.
