For each part : 1 Mark

The frictional force exerted by fluids is also called drag.
You may try to move your hand in water and honey. You'll notice the difference. The frictional force on an object in a fluid depends on its speed with respect to the fluid. The frictional force also depends on the shape of the object and the nature of the fluid
