How does friction affect a flat sheet of paper f alling through air?
Friction pushes on the paper causing it to flutter down instead of falling down smoothly. The amount of surface area also plays a big factor, and so does the mass of the piece of paper.
Does sand paper reduce friction?
sand paper increases friction, that is to say that it is harder to slide something on sand paper than it is on a smooth surface.
Why does an eraser feel warm when rub it against a piece of paper as you use it to erase some writing?
There is friction between the eraser and the paper.:)
How do you use friction in a sentence?
I made friction by rubbing the sand paper against the cabinet.
Does two pieces of sandpaper have more friction or two pieces of notebook paper?
the sandpaper has more friction

Do magnets work through paper?
Yes, but the thickness of the paper will affect the holding capability of the magnet.
Why does wax paper have less friction?
less friction then what?
What are facts about air resistance?
What type of friction is air resistance?fluid friction. Air resistance is fluid friction. Air resistance occurs between the surface of a falling object and the air that surrounds it. Rolling friction occurs when a rounded surface moves over a solid and sliding friction occurs when a solid moves over another solid. Static friction occurs when a solid touches another solid but there is no movement.What two factors affect air resistance?size and shape. Size and shape are the two factors that affect air resistance. Air resistance works with surface area, so the more surface area, the more air resistance. Think about when you drop two pieces of paper: one crumpled and one flat. The crumpled one falls faster because there is less air resistance acting on the paper.
Does wax paper have friction?
No, wax paper has very little friction. The wax is quite slippery, especially when heated.
Does sand paper reduce friction?
sand paper increases friction, that is to say that it is harder to slide something on sand paper than it is on a smooth surface.
What two factors affect the speed and distance of a paper airplane?
Friction and velocity, and if u want to go into it a little more the weight, content, and amount of force exerted to throw the paper airplane.
You have been eating paper for 9 month can it affect you?
been eating paper for 9 month can it affect me i go through a whole book every week need help
What has more friction wax paper or wood?
Wood has more friction indeed
What force makes paper float when it is falling?
It is caused by the air pressure under the falling paper. It is referred to as the air resistance.
Why does an eraser feel warm when rub it against a piece of paper as you use it to erase some writing?
There is friction between the eraser and the paper.:)
What are the causes of fluid friction?
Fluids can be air or liquids when referring to fluid friction. A paper airplane flying through air is acted on my by friction of the atmosphere. A submarine or ship moving below or above the sea is affected by the fluid friction of water. This because matter rubbing against matter cannot do so without resistance from friction.
