How does friction affect a flat sheet of paper f alling through air?

Friction pushes on the paper causing it to flutter down instead of falling down smoothly. The amount of surface area also plays a big factor, and so does the mass of the piece of paper.

Does sand paper reduce friction?
sand paper increases friction, that is to say that it is harder to slide something on sand paper than it is on a smooth surface.
Why does an eraser feel warm when rub it against a piece of paper as you use it to erase some writing?
There is friction between the eraser and the paper.:)
How do you use friction in a sentence?
I made friction by rubbing the sand paper against the cabinet.
Does two pieces of sandpaper have more friction or two pieces of notebook paper?
the sandpaper has more friction
What is an example of rubbing friction?
A piece of sand paper on a piece of wood is an prime example of rubbing friction.
Do magnets work through paper?
Yes, but the thickness of the paper will affect the holding capability of the magnet.
Why does wax paper have less friction?
less friction then what?
Does wax paper have friction?
No, wax paper has very little friction. The wax is quite slippery, especially when heated.
What two factors affect the speed and distance of a paper airplane?
Friction and velocity, and if u want to go into it a little more the weight, content, and amount of force exerted to throw the paper airplane.

What are the causes of fluid friction?
Fluids can be air or liquids when referring to fluid friction. A paper airplane flying through air is acted on my by friction of the atmosphere. A submarine or ship moving below or above the sea is affected by the fluid friction of water. This because matter rubbing against matter cannot do so without resistance from friction.

How do you use friction in a sentence?

What is the coefficient of static friction for wood on paper?
It's not a matter of "how much" friction paper has. When talking about friction, you have a friction coefficient, which is determined by a lot of factors: Surface, surface area in contact, pressure applied, and more. There may be a formula out there to predetermine the friction two surfaces might have, but honestly just doing some tests yourself would be better. You also need to specify what kind of paper, because even "notebook paper" isn't specific enough, as I know different companies' paper feels different to the touch.
