Drag is increased as speed of the vehicle increases, this is due to friction incurred as a result of air flowing over the body of the vehicle. In aircraft (as well as cars), engineers calculate the amount of thrust (in aircraft), or power (in cars), that is required to overcome the drag.
What else can I help you with?
Forces opposed to motion are called?
Friction, drag
What alse is air friction called?
I think it can be called drag or air resistance
Name two forces that work to stop or slowdown a roller coaster?
Friction and Drag (air resistance)
What two forces cause deceleration?
Friction and air resistance are two forces that can cause deceleration of an object in motion. Friction is the resistance that occurs when two surfaces come in contact with each other, while air resistance is the drag force exerted by air on a moving object.
When cycling what forces can effect you?
When cycling, forces such as air resistance (wind drag), rolling resistance (friction between tires and road), and gravitational forces while going uphill or downhill can affect your speed and energy expenditure. The resistance from these forces can impact your cycling efficiency and overall performance.
How friction effect the flight of an airplane?
Friction is the force resisting the movement of an object across a surface. For an airplane there is no friction when it is flying. Instead this is referred to as air resistance which produces drag forces. There are several forces acting on the airplane at one time: Thrust, Drag, Lift, and Gravity.
What is friction in water called?
Friction in water is called drag or fluid resistance. It refers to the force that acts in the opposite direction to the motion of an object moving through water, slowing it down.
What is the friction of air resistance?
Drag
What are two forces that resist the forward motion of a bus?
Two forces that resist the forward motion of a bus are air resistance (drag) acting in the opposite direction of movement and friction between the tires and the road surface.
Air resistance is a type?
Friction or drag
What are the two forces that make the cyclist slow down?
The two forces that make a cyclist slow down are air resistance (drag) and friction. Air resistance occurs due to the drag force as the cyclist moves through the air, while friction between the bicycle tires and the road surface causes the bike to slow down.
Can describe the connection between friction and air resistance?
Friction and air resistance are both resistive forces that act in the opposite direction to the motion of an object. Friction occurs between two surfaces in contact, while air resistance is the drag force experienced by an object moving through the air. Both forces reduce the speed or motion of the object.
