retarding/damping force

a force that opposes an object’s motion and reduces its speed or amplitude (often modeled as proportional to velocity in oscillators, e.g., F = −cv)

2NounC1

drag force (fluid resistance)

the resistive force from a fluid (such as air or water) that opposes motion, typically roughly proportional to speed at low speeds and to speed squared at higher speeds
