How streamlining affects forces and speed on cars?

Streamlining is an application of fluid dynamics to an object in order to reduce its drag coefficient. The drag force on an object is determined by three things, the shape of the object, the fluid it's moving through, and how fast it is moving through that fluid. The idea of streamlining is to reduce the drag coefficient of a car by changing it's shape, thus reduces the amount of force the car has to fight against at a given speed or alternatively given the car's power allow it to go faster. It makes the car move easily through the air, which cuts down fuel consumtion. For race cars it gives more speed.


How is drag controlled?

By making the airflow around the object as smooth as possible. This is calles streamlining.

What is streamlining in friction?

streamlining is the process by which the designs of moving tools like cars are made easy for the air to flow, to avoid air resistance or friction.


How is streamlining used in sport?

To ensure there is as little friction or drag as possible for example the streamlined helmets that bicyclists wear or the full body swim suits that are becoming popular for swimmers. Swimmers also shave body hair to streamline their bodies and reduce drag.
