Question

If all other factors remain the same, arrange these media in the increasing order of the frictional force offered by them.

• A. Vacuum
• B. Air
• C. Water
• D. Honey

Answer 1

• The frictional force on an object moving through a fluid depends on its speed with respect to the fluid, the shape of the object, and the nature of the fluid.
• Vacuum doesn't offer any frictional resistance to a body moving through it because of the absence of particles. Air offers some resistance, followed by water and honey.
