Is it F(Normal) * friction? Is there any others?

Friction IS a force. PLease clarify your question.
By "friction" do you mean the coefficient of static or kinetic friction between to given surfaces?
There are equations used to approximate the force of friction based on these observed coefficients and the normal force or, the force pushing on the object in a direction perpendicular to the surface that is causing the friction. That equation says that the force of friction equals the normal force times the coefficient.
Air resistance though, is also a type of friction, and you would have to use a totally different equation to estimate that force.

i dont think there is coz friction needs 2 variables, dependants
MAss and Mu which is the index for friction
F=mu X

(mass)*(mu)*(acceleration)
