Does paper air plane wingspan increases glide distance?
Yes, a larger wingspan generally allows a paper airplane to glide farther because it provides more lift and stability. A longer wingspan helps the aircraft stay in the air longer by generating more airflow over the wings. Additionally, a larger wingspan can help reduce drag, allowing the paper airplane to fly more efficiently.
Why is it called a Drag Strip?
A drag strip is called as such because it is a prepped straight track where vehicles "drag" race by accelerating as fast as possible in a straight line for a short distance. The term "drag" refers to the act of pulling or dragging something forward with force, which is what the vehicles do on the strip.
What makes the parachute stay longer in the air?
The hemispherical shape of a typical parachute is associated with a very high drag coefficient, which means for any given wind speed and air density combination, the actual force of drag is very high. Also parachutes are typically large which makes the drag force proportionaly higher. What this all means is that the drag required for an unaccelerated decent (which is equal to the weight) can be acheived with a much slower speed through the air (a non life-threatening speed upon landing). An object moving slower takes more time to cover a constant distance, so the parachute carries its object in the air longer.
Is there another word for to make something longer?
elongate, extend, stretch, drag out (time), savor, overstay, prolong
Which force acts on the plane at a distance A. drag B. thrust C. lift D. weight?
C. Lift. Lift is the force that acts on the airplane at a distance A while it is flying.
Why is maximizing the ratio of lift to drag forces desirable?
Maximizing the lift-to-drag ratio is desirable because it allows an aircraft to generate more lift for a given amount of drag, resulting in improved fuel efficiency and range. A higher lift-to-drag ratio also means the aircraft can fly at higher altitudes and speeds, which can be beneficial for performance and overall aircraft capabilities.
How long has drag racing been going on?
A drag race follows a short, straight course from a standing start over a measured distance, most commonly ¼ mile. Drag racing began in the 1930's but got more organised in the 1940's and 1950's thanks to a man named Wally Parks.
Why is induced drag aslo called lift drag?
Induced drag is the name given to the force of drag 'induced' by the act of increasing lift. Induced drag is directly related to how much lift the wing is producing, and usually angle of attack induced drag is usually caused by flow separations at high angles of attack and wing tip vortices, which is the main form of induced drag. Delta wings have massive induced drag because of their high chord which presents a high frontal area at high angles and leading edge vortices used to produce lift at low speed which generate lots of drag. At high speed and low angle however, the leading edge vortex no longer occurs and the wing has a very low frontal area which decreases the induced drag to almost nothing. Unlike other forms of drag, induced drag actually decreases with higher speed.
If a drag racer travels 3 tenths of a mile in 8 seconds what is the rate of acceleration?
It is impossible to determine acceleration simply from time and distance.
What relationship is there between the shape of an object and drag that is created?
Drag is due to the concept of fluid drag due to viscosity. This drag force can be calculated from an extremely hard to solve differential equation, the Navier-Stokes equation. For a sphere the equation simplifies to drag force=6*pi*viscosity*radius of the sphere*velocity. For other shapes with less symmetry the navier-stokes equation is harder to simplify. For example- a cube traveling through the air no longer has laminar, streamline flow of air. This results in turbulence and drastically increases the drag force. Hope that helps.
