How does aircraft drag increase with speed?
Drag increases by the square of velocity increase, for example, tripling speed increases drag by a factor of nine!
Will speeding up decrease the drag force on an airplane?
In general (special exceptions may apply) increase speed = increase drag.
When a sky diver reaches terminal velocity what happens to the two forces of weight and drag?
The weight force and drag force will be equal
Why drag increases as lift increase - for helis?
The production of lift creates induced drag. To create more lift, more airspeed is needed, and with airspeed, comes drag.
How will the thinking distance change if the driver is tired?
It will increase.
What are sky divers modifications to increase drag?
If by increase drag, you mean slow the descent, then generally use a larger canopy. If that's not what you mean, then I have no idea.

How are the lift and drag components of the wing affected when you lower the flaps?
lift decrease and increase drag
What are two different ways to change drag on an airplane and how would the airplane respond to that?
Flaps would increase drag increasing your speed will increase it even more
When a sky diver reaches terminal velocity what happens to the two forces of weight and drag?
The weight force and drag force will be equal
How does angle of attack affect lift and drag?
A higher angle of attack has an increase of both lift and drag.
Who would win a lamborghini or a ferarri?
it would obviously be a drag car as it has a higher rate of acceleration and top speed. a drag car is built to perform on a drag strip where as a Ferrari is built to perform on a race track. this does not mean that a Ferrari is inferior to a drag car as you can race a Ferrari on a drag strip but it is impossible to race a drag car on a racing track
Do rear spoilers increase gas mileage?
Spoilers decrease gas mileage. Spoilers are designed to create down force, which creates drag. The drag will increase gas usage.
The drag force on a falling sky diver is also known as?
Terminal Velocity.
What are the purposes of the slats and flaps of an airplane's wings?
Slats and flaps increase drag and also increaselift. The increase in drag slows the aircraft down, and the increase in lift lowers the stall speed, which slows the landing speed of the aircraft.
Will a predator 500 beet a kx250f in a drag race?
Depends on the driver.
