Friction drag is the drag acting on the surface of an object from a fluid flowing over it. When a fluid flows over an object it exerts a shear force on the object because of the fluid's viscosity which pulls the object in the direction of the flow.

What is frictional resistance due to motion through air?

Frictional resistance due to motion through air is the force that opposes the movement of an object through the air. It is caused by air particles colliding with the surface of the object, creating a drag force that slows down the object's motion. The amount of frictional resistance depends on factors like the object's shape, speed, and the viscosity of the air.

What is frictional force exerted by fluids called?

The frictional force exerted by fluids is called drag force. This force acts opposite to the motion of an object as it moves through a fluid, such as air or water, and it can affect the speed and direction of the object.

What is the difference between drag and friction?

Drag is a force that resists an object's motion through a fluid (such as air or water), while friction is the force that resists an object's motion when in contact with a surface. Drag occurs in fluids, while friction occurs between solid surfaces.

What then can you seay about the acceleration of the moving car?

It is directly proportional to the force applied by the engine adjusted for the frictional force, aerodynamic drag, and inversely proportional to the mass of the car.


What is the definition of viscous drag in an oil lubricant?

If a fluid in laminar flow flows around an obstacle, it exerts a viscous drag on the obstacle. Frictional forces accelerate the fluid backward (against the direction of flow) and the obstacle forward (in the direction of flow). The viscous drag force increases linearly with the speed of the fluid.
