Air pressure

2. The specific direction of the drag force acting on a falling object, fighting against gravity.
6. A device intentionally designed with a massive surface area to maximize air resistance for a safe landing.
8. The amount of this area directly determines how much air an object catches; more of it means more drag.
9. The type of drag experienced by a cyclist or race car that slows them down against their will.
10. The direction that drag force always acts in relation to the moving object.

1. The type of drag experienced by a cyclist or race car that slows them down against their will.
2. The type of drag experienced when deploying an airplane's air brakes to land safely on a runway.
3. The fluid friction force that opposes an object's motion through the air.
4. The large fabric part of a parachute that catches air particles to create massive pressure.
5. Drag force is generated when an object collides with millions of these microscopic components of air.
7. The continuous physical force exerted by air molecules colliding with an object.
