Is fluid friction force equal to lift force due to updraft?

I don't quite understand air resistance. If the air flowing upwards during free fall with air resistance, for example, causes friction, then this air flowing upwards must also create lift through updraft. I always thought the formula for free fall with air resistance was: F (net) = F (weight) – F (static lift) – F…

Buoyancy force, pressure difference, Archimedes' principle, hydrostatic pressure?

The buoyancy force is independent of the depth of the water in which the object is immersed, as long as the object is completely submerged. The pressure difference depends on the depth of the water. What exactly is the difference here, why do both provide buoyancy, but one depends on the depth and the other…

Drone flies on Mars?

The drone has two counter-rotating rotors with a diameter of 1.2m and weighs 1.8kg. The Earth's atmosphere near the ground has a density of 1.2 kg m−3 and a gravitational force of approximately 9.81 m s−2. Here, the drone took off at 500 rotor revolutions per minute. The Martian atmosphere has a density of 0.020…

Drone on Mars?

Hi, I recently read about the drone that flies on Mars. It was mentioned that it wasn't even certain whether it could fly there, because the air density isn't even 1% of that on Earth. It also said that Mars' gravity is only about 40% of Earth's. Now my question is how exactly that affects…
