Since air is considered as a fluid, it's a fluid friction and it works the same way as the fluid does.

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 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.


Is there friction on an air hockey table?

yes and no, It depends on what type of friction. it has no friction with the table, but it does have friction from the air being pushed from beneath. What slows the puck down the most is air resistance
