When consider the micro scale. Pusing a mass need force and air has mass. Object travel through air would push and drag air along with it and so the conservation of momentum would made the object slow down because it speed air up. The object shape also affect the amount of air push, more surface contact with air is more friction and smoother the surface would less dragging air along with it and is lesser friction.

What two forces act on a train?
Air Resistance, Friction and Gravity
What forces act on cheetahs in motion?
gravity, friction and air resistance
Does air exerts force?
The force that air exerts on a moving object is called air resistance. Air resistance is a form of friction.
Air resistance is a type of friction True or False?
Air- resistance is basically a type of friction between an object and the air
How does a balloon hovercraft work does it have lots of forces acting on it and what does friction have to do with it?
It has lift by having hot air, which rises. Gravity, Lift, and Friction act upon the balloon hovercraft. The friction is a fluid friction known as Air Resistance.
Is air resistance stronger than friction?
No. Its a form of friction.
What forces act on a mousetrap car?
friction, air resistance and gravity
What two forces act on a train?
Air Resistance, Friction and Gravity
What forces act on cheetahs in motion?
gravity, friction and air resistance
How are air resistance and friction alike?
Air resistance is a type of fluid friction (along with water resistance) and is therefore is a type of friction.
Does air exerts force?
The force that air exerts on a moving object is called air resistance. Air resistance is a form of friction.
What is the force that opposed objects falling through air?
Air Resistance: a form of friction.
What foreces act on a car that is speeding up?
Friction, air resistance, momentum, gravity.
Air resistance is a type of friction True or False?
Air- resistance is basically a type of friction between an object and the air
Does the force of friction also act on the objects moving in the air?
Yes. It's called wind resistance, or air resistance, or air drag. Items with little drag are said to be streamlined.
How does a balloon hovercraft work does it have lots of forces acting on it and what does friction have to do with it?
It has lift by having hot air, which rises. Gravity, Lift, and Friction act upon the balloon hovercraft. The friction is a fluid friction known as Air Resistance.
Is air resistance fluid friction?
At sub-sonic speeds, air resistance is fluid friction. At supersonic speeds, it is not.
