How do you calculate air resistance on an object if you have how much the object weighs and the acceleration?
Answered by bobpursley
Is the object falling at constant terminal speed?

Air Resistance then equals weight.
Answered by Damon
if it is falling
m g down positive
F air resistance up
a down positive

Weight - Fair resistance = m a

m a = m g - Fair resistance

if the F air resistance were equal to the weight, mg , then the acceleration would be zero

m (g-a)
Answered by Mimi
Well the question never mentioned it if it was at a constant speed, the weight of the object is 1.42N and the acceleration is 4.9m/s^2

how would I calculate that?
