What is air resistance? Give an example where it is useful.

Air resistance is a kind of friction which occurs between air and another object. It is useful to parachutists who use it to slow down their fall.

What is net/resultant force? What does it show us?

Net or resultant force is the sum of all the forces acting on an object. It shows us whether the object will accelerate in any direction or remain still.
