Solution

The correct option is A True
If an object travels through air then air produces frictional force on it. This is called air drag. Air drag depends on the speed of the object with respect to air and shape of the object.

The friction will change if the above object is dragged along the top surface instead of the bottom.

Assuming all surfaces to be equally smooth, friction will change if the object is flipped and then dragged, as shown in the figure.

will the heavy object fall faster than the lighter one in presence of air if they are of same material amd shape?
