a physics student makes the claim that the data show that the magnitude of the force of air resistance is directly proportional to the speed of the block of ice within experimental uncertainty explain weather the claim is correct using physics principles the problem is a person wearing boots that have spikes on their bottoms can easily walk across a frozen pond without sliding the person pushed a large $10\mathrm{.}0$kg block of ice across the frozen pong with a constant velocity assume that theire is no friction between the bottom o the block of ice and the frozen pond however there is an air resistance force acting against the motion of the block due to the large surface area of the front of the block
