Does a hot air balloon depend on thrust or drag?
thrust and drag, because with out thrust the hot air balloon would not be able to move forward and with out drag it would not be able to stop
What is eena?
Eena is an Australian drag queen who is vying for honour of performing the first drag show in outter space!
What forces act on a space shuttle when it lands?
Mainly gravity and air drag
What forces are acting on the International Space Station while its in orbit?
Gravity and atmospheric drag.
What is the rocket definition of drag?
Whether it is a rocket, a kite, or an airplane, drag is what is caused by the air's resistance to an object passing through it. It is the reason cars are streamlined and low to the ground. It is why a falcon folds its wing close to its body when it swoops down on its prey.
How do you reduce drag?
By streamlining the aircraft.
Why is streamlining used?
to reduce air resistance or drag.
How does streamlining reduce water Resistance?
no
How is drag eliminated on a helicopter?
Drag is never eliminated, it is only lessened by streamlining, even in a helicopter.
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 affect does streamlining have on forces?
It tends to reduce air (or water) resistance.
Why does streamlining make objects more aerodynamic?
Steamlining reduces drag due to friction and turbulence.
How can you reduce unwanted friction?
By streamlining an aircraft or putting lubricant on to a land based vehicle
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 do you reduce drag on a f1 car?
don't drag it copy and paste it
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.
