@bat974rtiuo Excellent question -- good thinking. Yes, indeed they do. Anything in contact with air and moving relative to the air (either the object moving, the air moving -- as in a breeze, or both) will experience air resistance.
Excellent question! Yes, it is a force. The given example problem here ignores drag (or "air resistance") -- if it were part of the problem, you would include it. By thinking about everything in contact with the body (including the air!) you will find all the needed forces. Thanks for asking, I'm sure this will help others too.
Do objects on ground experience air resistance too?
