What is the shape that reduces air resistance?
streamlined shape
What is the best shape for avoiding air resistance?
The shape is triangle
Does mass effect air resistance?
Not directly. Air resistance depends on an object's shape and type of surface.
Does aluminum have a high air resistance?
Air resistance depends mainly on an object's shape, not so much on the material.
How can water resistance and air resistance be reduced?
air resistance can be reduced by making the object that takes the air resistance stremlined. this means to make the object into a certain shape that alowes air to flow over the same is done in water but with a different shape
How does the shape of an airplane give it a low air resistance?
Not always, but that is one of the design aims.
What is the shape that reduces air resistance?
streamlined shape
What is the shape of a car which reduces air resistance?
The streamlining shape.
What is the best shape for avoiding air resistance?
The shape is triangle
What affects air resistance?
Fluid density, relative velocity, and object shape affect air resistance.
Does mass effect air resistance?
Not directly. Air resistance depends on an object's shape and type of surface.
How do you improve streamlining on a car?
Wind tunnels are used to improve the streamlining of cars.The shape of a car can be made like a tear-drop or like an aeroplane wing to reduce air resistance. Sometimes a spoiler is fitted at the the back to improve the air flow making it more streamlined. Another way to reduce air resistance is to make the car closer to the ground.
Could you make a plane motionless in air?
Yes. Example: When the aeroplane's method of propulsion would give it a forward velocity but that velocity equels the speed of a headwind. (The two speeds wouldn't be exactly equel due to the inherent resistance of the aeroplane's structure, but hey... that's just quibbling... ;-)
What is the shape of an airplane and why does this have this shape?
The commonly used fuselage shape allows the aeroplane to move forward through the air at a reduced drag. And the sectional shape of the wings create lift.
How can water resistance and air resistance be reduced?
air resistance can be reduced by making the object that takes the air resistance stremlined. this means to make the object into a certain shape that alowes air to flow over the same is done in water but with a different shape

Air resistance depends mainly on an object's shape, not so much on the material.
Does air resistance depend on weight?
No, only on the shape.
