How does a plane reduce the effects of air resistance?
by flying in the air
How do you resist air resistance?
You don't "resist" it but you "reduce" it. For example, many vehicles and projectiles are made in a streamline design to reduce air resistance.
What is air resistance on a car?
Air resistance is also called drag on a vehicle. When the vehicle moves forward it must push the air molecules out of the way, this causes resistance or friction. The faster the vehicle is going, the faster it is pushing the air molecules out of the way causing greater resistance.
Why is streamlining used?
to reduce air resistance or drag.
Why do planes have pointed fronts?
To reduce air resistance.
Explain why air resistance is larger when the car is traveling faster?
Bikes cars and other moving objects experience air resistance as they move.Air resistance is caused by the frictional forces of the air against the vehicle. The faster the vehicle moves the bigger the air resistance becomes.
How are trains shaped to reduce resistance to air flow?
Trains (and other vehicles that move rapidly through the air or water) are shaped to provide low resistance to movement. For vehicles that move through air, the smaller the front of the vehicle, the less resistance to air flow. If the front of the vehicle is blunt (like a flat wall), then when it moves, the air must flow around the wall on all sides. This causes the air to build up pressure in front as the wall pushes against the air. To reduce the pressure, if the vehicles is "stream-lined", or made to resemble a rain-drop shape, or an arrow shape, with a sharp point tapering back to a larger shape, then the air pressure in front of the vehicles is reduced, resulting in less power spent to overcome air resistance. Also, projections and things that stick out are eliminated or minimized to further reduce air friction.
Why are cars designed with smooth surfaces?
to reduce air resistance
Why are some vehicles streamlined?
To reduce air resistance or drag.
What affect does streamlining have on forces?
It tends to reduce air (or water) resistance.
How does a car reduce air resistance?
By designing the car to be as streamlined as possible.
What is moving resistance for vehicle?
Air friction, friction from the road
