Depending on the wave it would have noticeable differences from a short board in terms of "speed". Physics kind of through this one out. More mass plus weight and a larger center of gravity is going to gain more speed at a slower rate, but it's terminal velocity could potentially be higher. For as a smaller object with less mass will reach it's terminal velocity higher but to actually account for which one is

"faster" like top speed it's rough to say because there isn't a big enough wave to get up to top speed on a long board. But to answer this in a plain and simple answer. A short board will launch you faster out of a wave then a long board will. Because the short board you hit before the wave starts to break and the short board gets launched and propelled by the way making it go faster then a bigger surf board. So I can't say a long board is faster but I can say a short board will be launched faster and has faster acceleration. Long boarding is laid back for a reason the board goes just slow enough for you to react where as a short board you react on some what instinct. Until you get good enough and have a quick reaction time.

Can electromagnetic field blow electronic circuit boards?

The short answer is yes. However, many circuit boards generate electromagnetic fields or are part of systems that intentionally or unintentionally generate fields and suffer no harm. Electromagnetic fields can induce voltages on wires or electrical pathways within the circuit board if they are : A) of sufficient strength, B) If the field is oriented a certain way, and C) if the circuit board has no shielding. These induced voltages could damage components on the circuit board.


1999 Chrysler 300M instrument cluster lights do not always come on?

I had the same issue. In the instrument cluster there are 3 boards. The smallest board with the odometer and transmission status displays also has the 4 lights for the back lighting. This board is plugged into the main board and can easily be changed. Theses lights short out and cannot be changed out individually, the only thing you can do is replace this board.


Why are guns with long barrels more powerful than guns with short barrels?

Within reasonable limits, a longer barrel lets the bullet get pushed by the gunpowder for a longer time, and it moves faster.
