What type of friction is air resistance?
Since air is considered as a fluid, it's a fluid friction and it works the same way as the fluid does.
What type is a drag force?
Air resistance and fluid resistance are types of friction in fluid dynamics.
Air resistance is a type of friction?
Yes, it is a type called fluid friction.
What is the friction between the air and the surface of a moving object?
Viscous drag on the movement of the falling body due to air medium
When an object moves through a fluid?
drag or 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.
What type of friction is air resistance?
Since air is considered as a fluid, it's a fluid friction and it works the same way as the fluid does.
What is a example of fluid friction?
An example of fluid friction is the air resistance felt by an airplane.
What is type drag force?
Air resistance and fluid resistance are types of friction in fluid dynamics.
What is another name for fluid friction?
air resistance
What type is a drag force?
Air resistance and fluid resistance are types of friction in fluid dynamics.
Air resistance is a type of friction?
Yes, it is a type called fluid friction.
What forces counteract momentum?
friction (including fluid friction like air resistance) and gravity
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.
What is the friction between the air and the surface of a moving object?

What is a drag in science?
A force of friction which opposes motion, particularly air or fluid resistance.
