A drag force is a dissipative force. This can be in the form of air resistance or fluid resistance. Drag force is a force that acts opposite to the relative motion of an object moving in a surrounding fluid.
another term for drag force is resistance or friction that slows down an object as it moves forward.
Drag is a force vector, usually caused by air resistance, fluid resistance, or friction, that causes acceleration in a direction opposite to an object's velocity vector.
"Drag" is the name given to the force of air resistance, or of friction in general.

The force that opposed motion through a fluid is drag.
That depends on the type and direction of motion to which you are referring. Friction would be a good example of an opposing force to forward motion along a surface, such as kicking a ball along grass or pushing a toy car along concrete or carpet. Drag or air resistance acts to resist the motion of an object through a gas, It is relatively unusual in that it depends strongly on the velocity of the object in question. For example, a sky diver will fall and accelerate towars the surface of the earth due to the force of gravity. As his velocity increases, so to will the drag force. At some velocity this drag force opposing motion will equal the gravitational force causing motion. This means that the net force acting on the skydiver will be zero and they will no longer continue to accelerate. The velocity at which drag force equals the force due to gravaty is known as terminal velocity. Gravity is a good example of an opposing force to upward motion, such as throwing a ball into the air.
Yes, air rushing against an airplane is an example of friction. This force is called drag. It reduces the speed of the plane.
Viscous force
No force "acts on the force of gravity". Rather, both gravity and other forces - such as drag - will act on objects.

Drag is something that is force exerted. It is a force that is exerted in the opposite direction of movement.

If an object is passing through a fluid or medium then faces retarding or opposing force this force is called Drag Force

The thrust is the force moving something forward. The drag is air resistance applying force in the other direction. Drag will increase when an object moves faster because it will hit more molecules (of air, water, whatever) per second. If you apply constant thrust (force) to an object in air (for example an airplane) it will accelerate until the drag is equal to the thrust at which point it stops accelerating but keeps going at the same speed.
Drag is due to the concept of fluid drag due to viscosity. This drag force can be calculated from an extremely hard to solve differential equation, the Navier-Stokes equation. For a sphere the equation simplifies to drag force=6*pi*viscosity*radius of the sphere*velocity. For other shapes with less symmetry the navier-stokes equation is harder to simplify. For example- a cube traveling through the air no longer has laminar, streamline flow of air. This results in turbulence and drastically increases the drag force. Hope that helps.

drag is minimized by aerofoil shape. drag is a force acts on aircraft to minimize speed
