Answer:

Fluid friction describes the friction between layers of a viscous fluid that are moving relative to each other. Lubricated friction is a case of fluid friction where a lubricant fluid separates two solid surfaces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fluid friction is the resistance to an object's motion through a liquid or gas. When the motion is occurring in a liquid, it is referred to as viscous resistance. As an example, when an object falls through water, its speed reduces due to fluid friction acting on it.
