stratified squamous epithelium
Stratified squamous epithelium is the kind of epithelial tissue found in areas subject to friction and abuse. For example, this type is found in the esophagus.
Stratified squamous epithelial tissue is best suited for areas subjected to friction.
Transitional epithelium is found in areas that are subject to considerable stretching. Tissue in the bladder, urethra, ureters, an prostate often expand and contract.
That's a subject of considerable controversy.

Depending on the shape, speed and change in attitude (especially a tendency to tumble) of the projectile its losses of speed at various instants along its trajectory could be quite considerable owing to friction. Under many conditions air friction is proportional to the fourth power of speed. Thus, the horizontal component of the trajectory could be subject to considerable loss of magnitude. As one would expect the shape of the projectile will affect it's path considerably too.

Friction is the effect caused by two objects coming into direct contact with one another. Balloons are subject to friction, which is why you can hold them or tie a string around them.
