//An object moving in any fluid experiences some form of resistance to its motion due collisions with molecules of the fluid.// Each of these little collisions with the surrounding fluid contribute to the overall resistive force that the fluid exerts on a moving object. | //An object moving in any fluid experiences some form of resistance to its motion due collisions with molecules of the fluid.// Each of these little collisions with the surrounding fluid contribute to the overall resistive force that the fluid exerts on a moving object. | ||
