In an aero plane drag acts in the opposite direction to thrust?

Yes that is right. In any static equilibrium (not accelerating in any direction) all of the forces cancel out. A plane that is traveling at a constant velocity and altitude is not accelerating although it may be moving. So the thrust is pushing the plane forward and up, the drags pushes back, and gravity pulls the plane down. All of these forces cancel out so the plane stays up in the air and keeps moving forward.

Which dtrection does frictional force acts always?
It always acts opposite to the direction of friction
Friction acts in a direction of what to the direction of an objects motion?
Friction provides a retarding force. It always acts in the exact opposite direction of the motion of the object.
In what way does friction always act?
And it not only DOES; it works in no other way. Friction is a sneaky thing. You know how a thermos "knows" to keep the hot stuff hot and the cold stuff cold? Well, friction always knows in which direction you're trying to go and pushes against you!
If an object is rolling down a hill friction acts in what direction?
Opposite its motion.
How does the direction of the lift on a plane compare with its weight as it flies at a constant speed and altitude?
lift acts upward, and weight acts downward
What is drag for an airplane?
Drag is a force that acts opposite to the direction of movement of an airplane. Drag is mainly caused by air. The other forces that act on the plane while moving in the air are thrust, lift etc..
Friction acts in the opposite direction of?
Friction always acts in the opposite direction, of the other object's motion.
What acts opposite direction of objects?
Magnetism.
What does the dierection of friction always act?
it acts in the opposite direction of motion or force
Buoyancy is a force that always acts in an?
Buoyancy always acts in the direction opposite to the direction of the gravitational force. We normally consider this direction as 'upward'.
What direction of friction acts in a direction to the direction of the objects motion?
Friction provides a retarding force. It always acts in the exact opposite direction of the motion of the object.
Friction acts in a direction of what to the direction of an objects motion?
Friction provides a retarding force. It always acts in the exact opposite direction of the motion of the object.
Which dtrection does frictional force acts always?
It always acts opposite to the direction of friction
What is the force that always acts opposite to the direction of the motion?
Friction
How the direction of the force of kinetic friction is related to the direction of an of an objects motion?
Friction always acts opposite to the direction of motion.
