A kite suspended in the sky is flowing back and forth. Which type of friction is being described?

Answer
A
static friction
B
rolling friction
C
fluid friction
D
sliding friction

Explanation

The kite moves through the air, and air is a fluid. The resistance it experiences as it moves through the air is fluid friction, so the correct choice is fluid friction. Rolling, sliding, and static friction describe other kinds of contact between surfaces.
