Sorry if this is a stupid question but can someone give me a quick conceptual overview of what causes drag.
I was thinking that it is caused by the object moving through the fluid collides with the fluid particles and by Newton's 3rd law the fluid particles impart a force on the object in opposition to the direction the object is moving. But I have no idea if this is actually right and googling didn't help.
Thanks in advance.
