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 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.


If you push on a box and are unable to move it what force opposes your push static friction air resistance rolling friction sliding friction?

Static friction is the force that opposes your push when you are unable to move the box. This type of friction occurs when there is no relative motion between the surfaces in contact.


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.


Examples of the 3 types of friction?

The three types of friction are static friction, which prevents the initial movement of objects in contact; kinetic friction, which resists the motion of sliding objects; and rolling friction, which resists the motion of an object rolling over a surface. An example of static friction is pushing a heavy box on the floor, kinetic friction is the resistance when sliding a book on a table, and rolling friction occurs when a car moves on the road.


Air resistance is a type of friction True or False?

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

Why kinetic friction's cofficent is greater then static friction's cofficent?

It usually isn't ... it's the other way around. And static friction is greater because of settling ... i.e. the molecules at the surfaces can get closer to each other at rest. (They fit into each other's nooks and crannies.


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 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


True or false the force needed to overcome kinetic friction is useally greater than that needed to overcome static friction?

False. The force needed to overcome static friction is typically greater than that needed to overcome kinetic friction. Static friction is the resistance to motion when an object is at rest, while kinetic friction is the resistance to motion when an object is already in motion. Static friction requires more force to overcome because it is necessary to break the initial "stickiness" between the surfaces.


Which has a maximum value kinetic friction or static friction?

The maximum value of static friction is typically greater than the maximum value of kinetic friction. Static friction is the force required to overcome the initial resistance of an object at rest, while kinetic friction is the force required to keep an object in motion.
