I WONDER - Is Air Resistance The Same As Friction?

The video tutorial explains friction as a force opposing motion between surfaces. It covers different types of friction, including static friction, which prevents motion, and kinetic friction, which slows moving objects. Air resistance is highlighted as a form of friction affecting objects moving through air, such as parachutes and airplanes. The design of airplanes to minimize air resistance and improve fuel efficiency is also discussed.
