_________ is friction between a moving object and air particles.
friction
matter
gravity
air resistance
A non-contact force of attraction that that exists between any two objects
friction
gravity
magnetism
air resistance
This is a non-contact force that acts at a distance and cannot be seen. Materials that create this force are said to be magnetic.
