What is air resistance?

Question

What is air resistance?

Answer 1

Mechanically, it's the resistance to motion posed by the

necessary displacement of air for the object to move.

It varies as the cube of the velocity.

Answer 2

Air resistance is a frictional force experienced by objects as they move through air or as air flows around them. It generally opposes the motion of the object or the air flow around it, and is created by the air rubbing on the outside surface of the object.

Answer 4

There is difficulty in moving in a fluid. The difficulty is because you have to push the fluid out of the way when you move. This is why it's hard to push your hand quickly through water.

Air is also a fluid (but a gas not a liquid). In air we call this resistance to motion, air resistance.
