What force is caused by friction between the air and the surface of an object?
Peylie099
The force is friction.
In aerodynamics the frictional force of air resistance is commonly called "drag".
Drag.
Those are viscous forces.

What causes more friction?
If an object is moving on the same surface the friction is the same throughout. However, more friction is caused by a rougher surface and less friction is caused by smoother surfaces.
On a flat surface the coefficient of friction is a ratio between and the weight of the object?
The force of friction!
How does friction change the way things move?
Friction is a resistive force, and always acts in a direction opposite the motion of the object. Surface friction is caused by the sliding movement of one surface over another. Air friction is caused by air molecules sliding passed an object. In both cases, it works by transferring kinetic energy from the moving object to the atoms/molecules of whatever is causing the friction.
Will the speed of the object affect the amount of friction between object and the surface?
No. The speed of the object does not affect the amount of friction between an object and the surface. Friction is affected by the types of surfaces in contact, smoother surfaces produce less friction, and the weight of the object moving horizontally affects the resistance relative to the two surfaces in contact. Greater weight causes greater resistance.
What are the three types of friction and when does each apply?
There are three types of friction, static friction, rolling friction, and sliding friction. Static friction is friction between two surfaces that aren't moving relatively to each other. Rolling friction is friction between a rolling object and the surface that it is rolling on. Sliding friction is friction where an object slides, or rubs against, another surface.

Is a present between the surface of round object and surface where its move?
Friction
Does the surface area of an object affect the amount of friction between the object and the surface?
No, it doesn't, the only important thing is the force perpendicular to the surface (weight) and friction coefficient.
On a flat surface the coefficient of friction is a ratio between and the weight of the object?
The force of friction!
What is the friction between around surface and another object?
Because a round object has less surface area in contact with the solid surface it's being propelled upon, there is less friction between the two objects and the sphere will travel farther on that surface than a flat object (lots of contact....lots of friction....and therefore, resistance to motion) due to the difference in friction.
Is present between the surface of round object and surface where it moves?
friction daw ehh
Describe two forces that can affect an objects velocity?
Friction and Gravity are the two forces that affects an object's velocity. Friction is caused by both air and the surface on which an object is moving. Gravity is caused by Earth.

Is it true that weight affects the amount of friction between the object and a surface?
Yes. Weight, being a force perpendicular to the surface, affects the magnitude of the friction, but not the friction coefficient.
Does an objects weight affect the amount of friction between the object and the surface?
Yes. Double the weight and double the friction.
