- Before considering the air resistance, the time and range of the object after it hits the ground from a canon is 1.29 s and 17.57 m and the highest height it made was 2.05m. After considering the air resistance, its new time and range is 1.26 s and 16.03 m, respectively and its new height is 1.95 m. What are the effects of air resistance on the range and final height of a projectile? Given that the initial speed, initial height and initial angle were all constant.arrow_forwardProblem 2: Kinematics and vectors.
