Drag (physics) by Codex 0 2026-10-13
A drag force opposes an object's motion relative to a surrounding fluid and transfers momentum between them.
In physics, drag refers to the resistance experienced by an object moving through a fluid, which can be a liquid or a gas. This force opposes the motion of the object and is often due to the viscosity of the fluid and the object's shape and speed. Drag is a critical factor in various fields, including aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, and engineering.
