Air resistance is a kind of fluid friction that acts when objects flow through fluids. It is affected by the velocity of moving objects and the area of the objects. When an object moves with a greater velocity the air resistance acting on them will be high, so the speed decreases.
Fluid friction acts in fluids namely liquids and gases. In liquids the friction is called buoyancy and in gases it is called air resistance or drag. When two objects having the same mass but different area move through air, the object with larger area will have less velocity compared with the other object.
