  • Understanding Drag: Water Resistance & Air Resistance Explained
    Water and air resistance are both forms of fluid resistance, or drag.

    * Drag is the force that opposes the motion of an object through a fluid (like air or water).

    * Water resistance is specifically the drag force that acts on an object moving through water.

    * Air resistance is specifically the drag force that acts on an object moving through air.

    So, while "water resistance" and "air resistance" are specific terms, "drag" is the overarching term that encompasses both.
