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.

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.


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 is resistance to the motion of an object?

Resistance to the motion of an object is friction. Several different kinds of friction exist, including dry, fluid, lubricated, skin, and internal.

What are the different types of resistance available on exercise bikes?

The different types of resistance available on exercise bikes are magnetic resistance, air resistance, and friction resistance. Magnetic resistance uses magnets to create resistance, air resistance uses air to create resistance, and friction resistance uses a brake pad to create resistance.


Is friction resistance and air resistance the same?

No, Air resistance can be considered as a type of friction however, friction itself is considered to be the a force which opposes motion between two surfaces/substances. For example, A train travelling with a driving force of 500N Has 50N of air resistance acting on it and 75N of friction from the rails. They are considered to be separate.


Air resistance is a type of friction True or False?

Air- resistance is basically a type of friction between an object and the air


Is Air resistance a static friction?

No, air resistance is not a form of static friction. Air resistance is a type of fluid friction that opposes the motion of an object moving through the air. Static friction, on the other hand, is the friction force that prevents an object from moving when a force is applied to it.


How is friction and air resistance different?

Friction is the force that resists the relative motion between two surfaces in contact, while air resistance is the force that acts against the motion of an object as it moves through the air. Friction occurs between solid surfaces, while air resistance occurs when an object moves through a fluid medium like air.


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 air resistance stronger than friction?

No. Its a form of friction.


What is the friction of air resistance?

Drag


What is high air resistance?

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

Air resistance is the opposite of from friction true or false?

False. Air resistance is friction. A meteor coming in from space hits our atmosphere and glows brightly due to the airs friction.
