You're fishing for "air resistance" but your description isn't correct.
Air resistance doesn't "slow" a falling object. Once the object has
built up to some particular speed of fall, air resistance prevents it
from falling any faster.

What friction slows down an object that slides?
Slidig Friction is the kind of friction.
What kind of friction slows falling objects?

What slows an object in free fall?
friction and any other kind of force that is in the opposite direction
Can Friction occur in a vacuum?
Yes, in general friction can occur in a vacuum, but the only kind of friction that doesn't occur in a vacuum is, of course, air friction. There is no drag force on an object falling in a vacuum.
Forces acting on a falling object?
Gravity: The pull of two objects on each other.Inertia: Basically something that slows any kind of acceleration or deceleration on a moving object.Yup, those two are the main forces that act on a falling object.

What kind of friction slows a fallong object?
Air pressure. For instance, in a complete vacuum, a feather would fall as fast as a lump of lead.

How does gravity affect an object in motion?
it pulls the object towards the earth which kind of slows it down i guess. or is that friction? For an object travelling in the Earths atmosphere, or near to the Earth above the atmosphere, gravity provides a force pulling the object towards the centre of the Earth. Unless the object is travelling fast enough, what is called the escape velocity, this gravity force will ultimately cause the object to fall back to the surface. Friction is something else, the friction with the air in the atmosphere also slows the object, but this force acts in opposition to the direction of motion, not towards the Earths centre. To compute the trajectory of the object you need to take both forces into account.
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.
When an object rolls over a surface the kind of friction that occurs is called friction.?
The friction that occurs is Rolling Friction
What kind of friction must you overcome to get an object to start moving?
Static Friction
When an object over a surface the kind of friction that occurs is called friction?
false
