Drag is passive, therefore it does not act on gravity. Drag is a mechanical resistance to motion. If the motion in question was induced by gravity drag it can impede that motion, but has no effect on the gravity. 

hope this helps!

Answer:

Drag is a force of resistance that acts in fluid motion. When there is relative motion with respect to a fluid, a drag force acts in the opposite direction to the motion. Drag depends on viscosity, compressibility of the fluid and mass of the object.

When the sum of drag force and buoyant force are equal to the downward force of gravity, the object falls with a constant velocity known as terminal velocity.

A motorbike is travelling with a velocity of 3m/s. It accelerates at a rate of 9.3m/s for 1.8s. Calculate the distance it travel
Misha Larkins [42]

Explanation:

Consider the kinematic equation,

x  = vt +  \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}

where x is the distance traveled, v is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is time. By plugging in known values and solving for x,

x = 3(1.8) +  \frac{1}{2} (9.3) {1.8}^{2}

through simple algebra we get

x = 20.466

where this is the distance traveled in meters.
