That's an odd way to view it. Static friction is a function of the normal force. There is no theoretical limit, only practical/materials limits.r4g3r4hk said:I know that friction on a surface has a maximum value. When an object is pushed with a force greater than the maximum friction value, the object will move.
By constraining the scenario to [atmospheric, I assume] free fall, you are defining the drag limit to be equal to the weight of the object.But when a free-falling object falls from a height, does air resistance have a maximum value as well?
Air resistance is a force that opposes the motion of an object through air. It is caused by the collisions of air molecules with the surface of the object.
No, air resistance affects objects differently depending on their size, shape, and speed. Objects with larger surface areas and higher speeds experience greater air resistance.
Yes, there is a maximum value for air resistance. This value is dependent on the density of the air, the speed and size of the object, and the shape of the object.
Air resistance acts in the opposite direction of motion, slowing down the object. This can cause objects to fall at a slower rate or to travel a shorter distance than they would without air resistance.
No, air resistance cannot be completely eliminated. However, it can be reduced by changing the shape or surface of an object, or by reducing its speed.
