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.

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.
Is air resistance a contact or non contact force?
Air resistance is a contact force because you are in contact with the air in order to apply that force.
Who discovered air resistance?
Sir Isaac Newton mentions air resistance in Law Ipublished in his Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica.
When did Sir Isaac Newton discovered air resistance?
while he was trying to discover gravity in 1977
Does the speed change if air resistance is a factor?
A faster-moving object will have increased air resistance because more molecules of air will be encountered over the same time frame. The same holds true if an object that encounters denser air: there is more air resistance, therefore more lift as well as more drag.
What is air resistance and what are the two factors that air resistance depends on?
Air Resistance is a force.
What force slows objects moving through the air?
Air resistance
How molecules in the air cause air resistance?
How molecules in the air cause air resistance?
Why does the oscillation of a pendulum gradually slows down after a certain interval of time?
Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.Energy is gradually lost, through air resistance, and resistance in the string.
What is the force that opposes the motion of objects through air?
Air Resistance is the kinetic friction of the object's surface moving through the air. In aeronautical terms this is known as drag.
Is air resistance in a ball being thrown?
Yes, air resistance is on everything where there is air.
How does surface area affect air resistance?
air resistance affects
What is the relationship between air resistance and movement?
air resistance is cooler
When an object falls through the air encounters air resistance its overall speed will be than if it had not encountered air resistance?
The resistance do obstruct the object. The object always travel slower with air resistance. Air resistance is higher with velocity and the object falling through air would have a limited velocity that it can't go through.
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.
