Is wind a contact force or a non-contact force?
Wind is a non-contact force. But if someone is blowing on an object it would be a contact force because a person is causing the movement of another object.
Which force pushes against a moving object when it passes through water?
poo works. ;)
Which force pushes against a moving object as it passes through air?
When an object is moving in a particular direction, air resistance will be acting on the object in the opposite direction to the direction of travel.
When a moving object rubs against something its motion slows down because of a force called what?
Friction
What type of heat transfer occurs when two things are touching?
Yes, it is called transfer by conduction.Transfer by radiation requires no contact and transfer by convection requires contact through an intermediate moving fluid.

What is a force that works against motion in a liquid or gas?
For an object moving through the liquid or gas that force is drag.
Why does an object moving through the air slow down?
=normally objects slow down because of the friction. this means that the surface area is in contact with the air particles so that will slow the object down.==or they put the breaks on .=
Why does the earth have earth quakes?
Because of the plates in the earth are moving and rubbing against each other.
Methane gas diffuses through air because the molecules are?

What is the definition of air resistant?
The term 'air resistance' is a term for how much air drag there is on a object moving through air; a word for contact force that opposes the motion of objects moving in air.

Friction
Air rushing against an airplane is an example of?
Air rushing against an aeroplane is probably an example of a body moving through fluids. Since air is a fluid, aeroplanes moving through experiences a drag force in the opposite direction which is why the shape of faster aeroplanes are always made more streamlined.
