It is air friction. An aeroplane flying into a headwind will use up much more fuel than an aeroplane flying with a tailwind. Air friction means that a feather would take much longer to reach the ground than a lead weight dropped from the same height. Yet, if the feather and the lead weight were to be dropped in a vacuum (not subjected to air resistance) they would both reach the ground at the same time.
Air Resistance is the kinetic friction of the object's surface moving through the air. In aeronautical terms this is known as drag.
Air resistance
the amount of air resistance on an object depends on the size, shape, and speed of the object. Air resistance is the force that opposes the motion of objects through air.
A force of friction which opposes motion, particularly air or fluid resistance.
It is friction. In air, it can also be called air resistance. Similarly, in water, it can also be called water resistance.
Air Resistance is the kinetic friction of the object's surface moving through the air. In aeronautical terms this is known as drag.
The term 'air resistance' is a term for how much air drag there is on a object moving through air; a word for contact force that opposes the motion of objects moving in air.
the amount of air resistance on an object depends on the size, shape, and speed of the object. Air resistance is the force that opposes the motion of objects through air.
Air resistance
Friction is a force that occurs when two surfaces slide past another. The force of friction opposes the motion of an object, causing moving objects losing energy and slow down. When objects move through a fluid, such as air of water, the fluid exerts a frictional force on a moving object.
A force of friction which opposes motion, particularly air or fluid resistance.
On a car, its air friction plus rolling resistance of the tyres
It is friction. In air, it can also be called air resistance. Similarly, in water, it can also be called water resistance.
Air resistance, also known as drag, is the force that opposes the motion of an object through air. It is caused by the collision of air molecules with the surface of the object and increases with the speed of the object. Air resistance can slow down moving objects and affect their trajectory.
No objects in motion stay in motion barring external force (drag in air)
The frictional force that opposes the movement of an object that falls through the air is air resistance, or drag.
In aircraft aerodynamics, drag is the force that opposes forward motion, caused by air resistance as the aircraft is pushed forward by it's engines.
