No, drag actually slows the object down but thrust makes it go faster.

What causes drag to make planes to go faster?

Drag is a resistance force that opposes an aircraft's motion through the air, primarily caused by air friction and pressure differences. To make planes go faster, engineers design aircraft to minimize drag through streamlined shapes, smooth surfaces, and advanced materials. Reducing drag allows for more efficient propulsion and higher speeds, as less energy is wasted overcoming air resistance. Additionally, increasing thrust from the engines can also help the aircraft overcome drag and achieve faster speeds.


Can you use car wax to make a snowboard go faster?

Yes, wax will lower the drag coefficient of the snowboard.


Lowered cars vs cars which seems faster?

Lowering your car will give you the visual and mechanical affect of being faster. By lowering the car, you reduce drag, which in theory will make the car faster and improve MPG.


Why does streamlining make objects more aerodynamic?

Streamlining reduces air resistance by shaping objects to minimize turbulence and drag. This helps objects move more smoothly through the air, reducing the energy needed to overcome air resistance and improving overall aerodynamic performance.


Does friction cause objects to move faster or fly higher?

Friction slows down the motion of objects, so it does not cause them to move faster or fly higher. In fact, more friction can make it harder for objects to reach high speeds or heights.


Does a shirt make you swim faster?

no it will just slow you down and cause water resistance and drag. you are more streamlined without a shirt


Swimmers often wear swim caps and shave the hair from their bodies so that they can swim faster What force is reduced that will enable them to swim at a greater speed?

It is the drag that all the hair causes. If it is shaved off or covered, it will make the swimmer more streamlined, which means they will move faster. Drag


How do you make a CO2 car go faster?

Have a light weight body and make sure that all angles are curved so that it is aerodynamic. Spoilers only add drag, even if they look cool, and although less weight may make it go faster, it will also make it more fragile.


How does a streamlined shape make objects move faster?

A streamlined shape reduces air resistance or drag by allowing air to flow smoothly around the object. This helps reduce the energy needed to move the object through the air, allowing it to move faster with less resistance. The shape minimizes turbulence and creates a more efficient flow pattern, leading to increased speed.


How do you make a polaris 250 trail blazer go faster?

pull it behind a faster quad while having the throttle pinned. over-rev the motor and blow it up. then without the drag from your motor, you'll go much much faster :)


How is aerodynamics used to make things more streamlined?

Aerodynamics is used to design shapes that minimize air resistance, or drag, as an object moves through the air. By reducing drag, objects can move more efficiently, whether that be an airplane in flight, a car on the highway, or a cyclist riding at high speeds. Streamlined shapes, like teardrops, help objects cut through the air more effectively, reducing energy consumption and improving performance.


Why do smaller objects make higher sounds?

Sound is created by the vibration of air. The faster the vibration, the higher the sound. Smaller objects can vibrate faster than larger objects (of the same kind) and therefore have a higher pitched sound.
