No, compression is not a drag force. Compression refers to the reduction in size or volume of a substance due to external pressure, while drag force is a resistive force that opposes an object's motion through a fluid.
Turbulence is a type of drag force that creates resistance to the flow of a fluid. It is caused by chaotic and irregular motion within the fluid.
Compression force is the type of force that squeezes an object, like when you press down on a spring.
The opposite of compression force is tension force. Compression force acts to compress or squeeze an object, while tension force acts to stretch or pull an object in opposite directions.
Drag is a noncontact force. It is a resistive force that acts on an object as it moves through a fluid, such as air or water. Drag force is dependent on an object's shape, size, and speed.
Tension and compression are not forces themselves, but rather types of forces that act on objects. Tension is a force that pulls or stretches an object, while compression is a force that pushes or squeezes an object. Both tension and compression are common forces in structural mechanics.
