Air resistance Definition and 405 Threads

Im taking AP Physics as well as Calculas but haven't covered the topic of Air Resistance yet. I am trying to figure out what the air resistance would be on a baseball. Could someone help me out? Much thanks

i was thinking... sound fades off over distance... does this happen because of air resistance? i know there are a ton of factors involved in this... but is this one of the more important ones in it? if anyone has any ideas please post them :D

if someone falls out of a airplane that is horizontally traveling at 60m/s and goes into the ocean 3.0 seconds later with no air resistance what would the horizontal distance he travels while falling be. is the formula d=vt and the answer 180 m

Two bodies are falling with negligible air resistance, side by side, above a horizontal plane. If one of the bodies is given an additional horizontal acceleration during its descent, it 1. has the vertical component of its velocity altered 2. strikes the plane at the same time as the...

Hm..well I am taking a Physics B course and we never covered the topic of air resistance.. So I was a little curious, so could anyone please give a brief explanation of the basics..or maybe some formula.. I was just wondering if it was really simple like the boyency force or something or...
