aerodynamic forces are the result of normal and tangential forces on the airfoil surface, tangential forces on the airfoil surface, normal forces on the airfoil surface or the boundary layer?

Check all of the true statements about forces: (a) Drag force is defined to align with the direction of fluid flow far from an object. (b) Lift force is defined to be orthogonal to the direction of fluid flow far from an object. (c) Lift force is defined to be upwards (opposite to gravity). (d) Fluid pressure can act in any direction, regardless of the fluid's flow direction. (e) Fluid flowing orthogonally through a control-volume surface does not cause shear stress on that surface. (f) An object can have lift force or drag force, but not both. (g) Fluid shear acts in the plane of a surface, not orthogonal to it. (h) Fluid pressure can act in a direction opposite to the fluid's flow direction. (i) Buoyancy force is derived for a non-moving fluid, and is used in the BGLAD equation for moving fluids.

For a surface molecule (a) the net force on it is non zero (b) the net force on it zero (c) there is net downward force (d) there is net upward force
The diagram shows the forces acting on a car accelerating to the right. The pavement is level. F_road is the friction force of the road on the tires, and F_air is air resistance. Select the correct relationship between the force magnitudes: [There could be more than one correct answer:]
