Water Resistance is a force that slows objects down when they are moving through water.

Noun: Water Resistance

Water Resistance is a contact force.

Water Resistance can only happen to an object in the water. It does not happen to objects on land, in the air or space.

The amount of water resistance depends on:

Size and Water Resistance

The trout is smaller than the dolphin, so it feels less water resistance.	The dolphin is bigger than the trout, so it feels more water resistance.

Shape and Air Resistance

The cube is not streamlined so it will feel a lot of water resistance.	The sphere is more streamlined than the cube so it will feel less water resistance.

Speed and Air Resistance

A rowboat is much slower than a speedboat so it does not feel as much water resistance.	A speedboat is much faster than a rowboat so it feels a lot more water resistance.

A force that slows things down when they are moving through water.
