Just curious. I got tripped up on it on AAMC 11 on a question. Air resistance should be visualized as a type of drag force? I was lost in the question regarding the formula for power done by air resistance. (F=mg-ma)?
A day away made all the difference, after unit analysis the only correct one was easily narrowed down.
P=F*v=-mgv
P= Joules/Sec = kg*m^2/s^2
-mgv = kg*m^2/s^2
Conceptually I didnt realized Power is equated to force times velocity.
