Question

Is air resistance evident for objects falling through a short distance?

Answer 1

Indeed yes, feathers or silk hankerchiefs being perhaps the most obvious examples

Answer 2

Air resistance affects all objects,either falling large or short distance.Throw anything up that u know u can carry,u see it falls faster it it is heavier than lighter,because air resistance also acts on volume more than surface area.

Answer 3

Yes it is evident, but difficult to measure. To accurately measure the air resistance you would ideally want no wind, and a sufficiently long distance with which an average value could be calculated.

The air resistance or drag is proportional to the objects velocity v , and at higher speeds, its proportional to v squared.

Answer 4

Yes. Falling objects are subject to air resistance at any distance. Hard to measure though the smaller the distance and amount of resistance.
