We argue that dynanical friction can be viewed as the drag eterted on a
‘test’ star by the wake it induces in the field stars. We
compute the wakes for the uniform infinite medium and a flat rotating
sheet. In the first case we obtain a result which differs by a factor of
two from the classical results. In the second case the drag vanishes.
