EFFECT OF SURFACE AREA ON AIR FRICTION Design Background Information: Air resistance‚ also called drag‚ is the forces that are in opposition to the relative motion of an object through the air. Drag forces act opposite to the oncoming flow velocity. Size and shape are the two factors that affect air resistance. Air resistance depends on the surface area‚ so‚ as the surface area increases‚ the air resistance increases. When an object is falling‚ air resistance acts to push it back up. This is
