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.


What are facts about air resistance?

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.


What force slows things down the most?

Friction and Air Resistance


Is terminal velocity a type of friction?

No. Terminal velocity is a particular kind of velocity and friction is a particular kind of force. The terminal velocity of a falling object is the maximum velocity it can have because air resistance prevents it from going any faster. And air resistance is a type of friction. So terminal velocity is due to a type of friction.


What are examples of force?

- Gravity/weight - Air resistance/drag/friction - Centrapetal force

What is the force air resistance?

Air resistance is a friction force, the flow of air over a surface will cause friction and produce drag. Thanks


Is friction and air resistance an energy?

friction and air resistance are respectively the amount of force applied involving the dissipation of ENERGY and the oppsition offered to an object when moving in air. so friction and air resistance are not a type of energy but opposing forces .


Is air resistance stronger than friction?
