friction in air is called air resistance. When a feather falls through the air, it is slowed down by this air resistance. as gravity pulls the feather down to the earth, air resistance pushes it up. gravity almost always wins, however, when the feather gets enough acceleration to overcome air resistance. the mass of the object effects the amount of air resistance. a feather has low mass, therefore is slowed down by air resistance. A rock has much mass, therefore air resistance doesn't effect it as much. this is why a rock appears to fall "faster" than a feather. take the rock and feather on the moon (something the Apollo astronauts did) and they fall at the same rate.

Air resistance is a type of friction True or False?
Air- resistance is basically a type of friction between an object and the air
Examples of the 3 types of friction?
air friction also called air resistance or drag solid friction which is just normal friction and liquid friction like hydro-dynamics
The friction between objects that are moving is?
Air friction.
What type of friction occurs when running?
Air 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.
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 there friction on an air hockey table?
yes and no, It depends on what type of friction. it has no friction with the table, but it does have friction from the air being pushed from beneath. What slows the puck down the most is air resistance
How are friction and air resistance different?
air resistance is different from friction because friction is more than one thing because there is many different types of friction air restance is one of those types of friction.
Air resistance is a type of friction True or False?

The friction between objects that are moving is?
Air friction.
What type of friction occurs when running?
Air friction
What is the friction on a flying plane?
The friction on the plane is the friction produced due to air.
Which friction has least value option sliding friction static friction rolling friction Air friction?
i think it it rolling friction
Is there friction when you are are roller skating?
Yes- your body has friction with the air, and the wheels have friction with the floor.
If an object moves through the air what is the friction?
Fluid Friction .
Is air resistance stronger than friction?
No. Its a form of friction.
