What situations might drag act on the force of gravity?

No force "acts on the force of gravity". Rather, both gravity and other forces - such as drag - will act on objects.


In what situations might drag act on the force of gravity?

Drag refers to air resistance. Drag and gravity balance each other at terminal velocity when falling.


What is drag in what situation might it act on force of gravity?

where air flowing along a surface will create lots of friction drag


What force acts opposite of gravity?

drag

How come an airplane floats in air?

Essentially there are 4 aerodynamic forces that act on an airplane in flight; these are lift, drag, thrust and gravity (or weight).In simple terms, drag is the resistance of air (the backward force), thrust is the power of the airplane's engine (the forward force), lift is the upward force and gravity is the downward force. So for airplanes to fly, the thrust must be greater than the drag and the lift must be greater than the gravity (so as you can see, drag opposes thrust and lift opposes gravity).This is certainly the case when an airplane takes off or climbs. However, when it is in straight and level flight the opposing forces of lift and gravity are balanced. During a descent, gravity exceeds lift and to slow an airplane drag has to overcome thrust.


How do thrust drag and gravity affect a hydro-rocket?

Thrust - is the force pushing it forwards Drag - the force acting against the rocket Gravity - the force acting upon the rocket trying to push it towards the centre of the earth


What are examples of force?
