Does drag slow an object?
It depends on the object that it goes through, because if a the surface of an object is big, the more drag it produces. If the object has a small surface that meets the air, then it won't produce drag that much.
What does drag coefficient mean?
Drag coefficient can be defined as the ratio of the drag on a body moving through air to the prioduct of the velocity and the surface area of the body.
How does the surface area of an object affect the free-fall time?
Aerodynamic drag, depends on size, surface texture and shape. The force behind it = mass * acceleration due to gravity
How does the surface affect the force needed to drag a box of toys?
Not so much the surface but the factor of friction is what will affect the force needed to drag a box of toys.The equation:whereis the force exerted by friction (in the case of equality, the maximum possible magnitude of this force).is the coefficient of friction, which is an empirical property of the contacting materials,is the normal force exerted between the surfaces.In simple terms, the slicker the surface, the less force that is needed to drag the toy box.
Why is it easier to dance on a polished and smooth surface than on a rough surface?
Assuming the rugosities are not so large to be trip hazards, the rough surface has the higher friction, hence drag, between floor and shoe sole.
What is a current drag?
A current drag is a device to measure sub-surface currents.

How do you control drag from increasing on helicopter?
Drag cannot be eliminated because drag always acts parallel to the relative wind. We can control by purchasing or using the right airfoil on the aircraft. An airfoil with smooth surface produces more lift than one with a rough surface. A rough surface creates turbulence, which reduced lft and increases drag.
When do sedimentary rocks form on the surface?
drag and momentum
What does drag coefficient mean?
Drag coefficient can be defined as the ratio of the drag on a body moving through air to the prioduct of the velocity and the surface area of the body.
What is drag in what situation might it act on force of gravity?
where air flowing along a surface will create lots of friction drag
How does wheel size effect velocity?
wheel size effects velocity by, way of drag and surface area that touches road or cement. the more drag or surface touching ground the slower you will move
What is the name of the frictional force between the surface and the air?
Viscous drag
How fast must a car with 51ft of surface area travel in order to experience a drag force of 430 N?
You need dome type of Formula to calculate this. The formula must relate drag and surface area. Assuming the surface area is at the face of the car, or not.
How does the surface affect the motion of an object?
The surface of an object affects the aerodynamic drag: a force which acts against the direction of motion.
How is drag reduced?
Change the shape / Reduce the size / smooth the surface texture.
