I certainly don't. :S I'm doing a lab report on projectile motion and on this website, we got to shoot random objects and see their range, height, and time is took to land.
But the numbers change when I set it to air resistance and launch it again. Can someone explain to me why? Thank you! (:

Yeah. Air resistance is a friction that is against the motion whenever there's air (which is always on earth). So naturally, it's going to slow down faster, not go as high, and have a maximum speed when it returns to earth.

air resistance slows it down so it doesnt go as high and not as fast. the friction from the air makes it slower.
