Any body moving through the air at speed experiences air resistance which tends to slow it, or hold it back. This is known as drag. Technically there are three types of drag: Induced Drag is created by wingtip vortices and can never be completely eliminated; Form Drag is caused by parts of the aircraft sticking out into the airflow and can be reduced by streamlining; finally, Skin Friction is caused by the air's tendancy to stick slightly to a surface moving through it - it can be reduced by polishing.
(DR) The foot is flat on the floor and the knee is flexed when the DRAG begins. Keeping your weight on this foot use a springing motion which will move the weight of the body up and back, and straighten the knee, allowing momentum to lift only your heel slightly off the floor, and move your foot to the rear slightly (about half the length of your foot). Can also be done with both feet on the floor.

The force that resists the motion of the aircraft through the air. One type of drag is caused by air molecules. As the aircraft flies through the molecules, they resist the motion of the aircraft. This resistance is due to friction between the air molecules and the surface of the aircraft. Airplanes are streamlined to decrease the drag force.

To “drag” an object is to move it from one place to another. This is done by clicking and holding the mouse button while hovering over the object to drag, and moving the mouse to the spot you wish to “drag” this object to. When you release the mouse button, you are “dropping” the object at this position. An example for the drag-and-drop concept is in the Database Wizard: One way to insert a table from a data source is to drag a table source from the database browser onto the Database Wizard's desktop and drop it there. This will create the table source for your report.

In fluid dynamics, drag is the force that resists the movement of a solid object through a fluid (a liquid or gas). Drag is made up of friction forces, which act in a direction parallel to the object's surface (primarily along its sides, as friction forces at the front and back cancel themselves out), plus pressure forces, which act in a direction perpendicular to the object's surface. For a solid object moving through a fluid or gas, the drag is the sum of all the aerodynamic or hydrodynamic forces in the direction of the external fluid flow.
When an object is moving on the surface of the water, drag is a factor that may slow that object down. It basically pushes in the opposite direction of the moving object because water is more dense than air. When you are running underwater, you are noticeably slower than if you were running on shore.
