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

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.
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
When you drag force on an object falling through the air equals the force of gravity the object has reached what?
Thermal Velocity
When you drag force on an object falling through the air equals the force of gravity the object has reached?
Thermal Velocity
What is the force the keeps the plane in the air?
The four forces of flight are : Lift, Thrust, Drag, and Gravity. The answer to your question is Lift.
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.
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
Factors affecting aircraft performance?
Factors affecting aircraft performance include air density (affected by altitude and temperature), weight of the aircraft, aerodynamic design, engine power, and wind conditions. These factors can impact an aircraft's speed, rate of climb, range, and handling characteristics. Pilots must consider and adjust for these factors to ensure safe and efficient flight.
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?
- Gravity/weight - Air resistance/drag/friction - Centrapetal force
What are the forces on a rollet coaster?
Gravity Drag Friction Propelling force
What are the four force acting on a airplane?
lift, thrust, drag and weight(gravity)
When you drag force on an object falling through the air equals the force of gravity the object has reached what?
Thermal Velocity
When you drag force on an object falling through the air equals the force of gravity the object has reached?
Thermal Velocity
What force must a rocket overcome to be launched into space?
Alright, it is mainly the force of gravity. This is because if there was no gravity, you do not heat energy to fire the rocket up.
When an object reaches terminal velocity and there is no net force what is the initial force that got it going to keep it in motion?
Gravity. The object starts at zero velocity, and gravity always pulls the same. Drag, however, increases when velocity increases. Terminal velocity is when gravity has accelerated the object to the speed where drag is the same as gravity.
