20 lip 2022 · When a solid object moves through a fluid it will experience a resistive force, called the drag force, opposing its motion. The fluid may be a liquid or a gas. This force is a very complicated force that depends on both the properties of the object and the properties of the fluid.

Stokes' law. Equation for the velocity of a body in viscous fluid. In fluid dynamics, Stokes' law is an empirical law for the frictional force – also called drag force – exerted on spherical objects with very small Reynolds numbers in a viscous fluid. [1]
Some interesting situations connected to Newton’s second law occur when considering the effects of drag forces upon a moving object. For instance, consider a skydiver falling through air under the influence of gravity. The two forces acting on him are the force of gravity and the drag force (ignoring the small buoyant force).
25 maj 2024 · What is Drag? Drag is a force that opposes the motion of an object through a fluid. This resistance is caused by the interaction between the fluid and the surface of the moving object.
The force on an object that resists its motion through a fluid is called drag. When the fluid is a gas like air, it is called aerodynamic drag or air resistance . When the fluid is a liquid like water it is called hydrodynamic drag, but never "water resistance".
In fluid dynamics, the drag equation is a formula used to calculate the force of drag experienced by an object due to movement through a fully enclosing fluid. The equation is: where. is the drag force, which is by definition the force component in the direction of the flow velocity, is the mass density of the fluid, [1]
Examples of drag include: Net aerodynamic or hydrodynamic force: Drag acting opposite to the direction of movement of a solid object such as cars, aircraft, [3] and boat hulls.; Viscous drag of fluid in a pipe: Drag force on the immobile pipe decreases fluid velocity relative to the pipe. [4] [5]In the physics of sports, drag force is necessary to explain the motion of balls, javelins, arrows ...
