    Question

    Which force is exerted by air on objects moving through it?

    A.

    Electrostatic force

    B.

    Magnetic force

    C.

    Frictional force

    D.

    Force of gravity

    Correct option is C


    The correct answer is (c) Frictional force.
    · The frictional force exerted by air on objects moving through it is known as air resistance or drag.
    · This force acts in the opposite direction to the motion of the object, slowing it down.
    Information Booster:
    · Electrostatic force: A force between charged particles, not related to air resistance.
    · Magnetic force: A force exerted by magnets, which does not involve air.
    · Force of gravity: The force that pulls objects toward the center of the Earth, not specifically related to air resistance.
