Insert the information in the form and the calculator will determine the air resistance.

What is the air resistance?

The air resistance is a force acting opposite the relative motion of any object moving with respect to the surrounding air.

How to calculate air resistance?

To calculate air resistance you should use the following formula:
FD = 1/2 * ρ * v² * CD * A
where:
FD = drag
ρ = density of fluid
v = speed of the object relative to the fluid
CD = drag coefficient
A = cross sectional area

Why use air resistance?

One of the uses of air resistance is that it plays a major role in the action of a parachute.
