A glider's best shape would probably be a triangle, because the glider must be aerodynamic to preform best.

How did Otto Lilienthal create the glider?

Otto Lilienthal created his gliders by designing and building them based on his research into the flight of birds. He used lightweight materials like wood and fabric to construct the glider's frame and wings, which allowed for better lift and maneuverability in the air. Lilienthal's gliders had a curved wing design inspired by the shape of bird wings, which helped him achieve his goal of controlled flight.


If two gliders of equal mass and equal and opposite initial velocity collide perfectly elastically what are the final velocities of the gliders in terms of the initial velocities?

The final velocities of the gliders after a perfectly elastic collision will also be equal and opposite to their initial velocities. This is due to the conservation of momentum and kinetic energy in elastic collisions.


What is the best parachute shape for ensuring a safe and controlled descent?

The best parachute shape for ensuring a safe and controlled descent is a round parachute.


What is the best shape for floating?

The best shape for floating is generally a shape that is stable in water, such as a wide and flat shape like a paddle or a raft. This shape allows for better weight distribution and balance on the water surface. Square or rectangular shapes also work well for floating objects.


What is the best shape for avoiding air resistance?

A streamlined shape like a teardrop is best for avoiding air resistance. This shape minimizes drag by reducing turbulent flow and creating a more aerodynamic profile. It helps objects move through the air more efficiently.
