Air friction is simply resistance. This friction is created when a mass moves against a stable force like air, and is the measure of force needed to allow movement. For an easy visual, try pushing a cube or a triangle through water. You will understand the principal of streamling as the means to minimize that friction affect.

When objects move on land, air particles are pushed away. This means more opposing forces against the moving object (in this case car and bicycles), reducing its speed, making it stop more quickly.

Air Friction is the biggest enemy to the efficiency of any vehicle. Whenever one blows air over any surface then the surface experiences a shear force in the same direction trying to move plate with it. This is due to a property called viscosity of fluids, so even air which has very less viscosity has considerable effects. Similar thing happens when air blows over cars or even if air is still and car is running through it, then relatively air is moving over the car body. So the air will exert a shear force on the body of the car. moreover, if the shape of car's body is sort of a blunt shape, in simple terms like a very bulged body it will experience a form drag, in simple terms a force in the direction of flow due to pressure difference in the front and the back of car. This has a greater effect on performance of cars at high speeds so it is common to see that the car bodies are streamlined i.e. in simple terms shape like dolphins or what we call it ' a teardrop model'.
Air resists the motion of an object , the faster it is the more fricition there is . Aerodynamics is an independent part of science where people study the effect of air on objects in motion , thus the creation of more inclined surfaces and several geomatric shapes to reduce airi resistance.

How does it affect motion of a falling object?

it affects motion by friction a friction pull it down or up


How does gravity friction and mass affect the motion of an object?

Sin no


How goes friction affect forces?

Force due to friction opposes an object in motion, and any forces that propel that object.


How friction affect the moving object?

Friction always want to retard the motion of a moving object. So friction slows down and finally stops a moving object.


How does friction affect movement of object?

Friction provides a force, and therefore an acceleration, in the opposite direction of motion.


What two factors affect the motion of an object sliding downhill?

Mass (gravity) & friction!


What does friction do to the motion of object?

Friction slows down the motion of objects.


Does friction stop thing from moving?

Friction can stop an object in motion eventually. Friction causes drag on the object's motion energy and slows the object down by transferring the energy from one type to another. When the energy which acted on the object to put the object in motion is fully transferred, the object's motion will stop in the direction the motion and friction are applied. An example of this type of friction is the brake on a car. Friction can, however cause the object to change the direction of motion and simply stop affecting the object afterward. An example of this type of friction is the bumper rail of a pool table.


Do brakes on a bicycle create friction?

yes. friction is the action of one object's molecules hittings another objects molecules and creating an opposite force to slow the objects that are in motion down


What does friction do to the object's motion?

The motion of the object might slow down or just change itself object would resist moving or keep moving. An object can have static friction, sliding friction, or rolling friction.


Will friction resist motion of an object on rough surfaces?

Friction always resist motion if the object is sliding on surface.


In what way is the motion of a freely falling object different from the motion of the cart?

motion of free falling object does not have friction, while motion of the cart has force of friction
