What is Reining?
Reining is the slowing down of a horse by sharply pulling its reins back and to the right or left.
Why do certain birds spread their wings before they land?
For air braking; slowing themselves down to ground velocity so they don't skid.
Where does yellow jackets live?
I can say I have trapped one under a cup and it has lived for over a week without food or water and shows no signs of slowing down!
What is the name of the force that slows a boat down?
Generally, friction will slow kinetic motion in water and air alike.Gravity will always tend to pull things down, thus slowing upward motion.Generally, friction will slow kinetic motion in water and air alike.fluid friction
A mite is a tiny organism that may ride on top of an insect such as a beetle in order to move quickly from place to place?
Mites are tiny organisms that might ride on top of other insects like beetles so they can move from place to place faster than on their own. The relationship between the mite and beetle would be an example of parasitism if the beetle would not be able to catch prey because the mite is slowing it down.
Why does the rate of drop change in parachutes?
Parachutes increase the wind resistance experienced by a falling object, thereby slowing the speed of decent.
What are the main forces acting on falling rock?
Gravity and air resistance.
What is the name of the speed when air resistant and gravity stop a falling object from speeding up or slowing down?
Terminal Velocity is the speed that a falling object achieves when the drag forces that occur from air resistance are equal to the gravitational forces acting on the object.
A ball falling through the air has?
acceleration due to gravity acting on it, which causes it to increase in speed as it falls. The force of air resistance also acts on the ball, gradually slowing it down. Eventually, the ball reaches terminal velocity, where the force of gravity is equal to the force of air resistance and the ball falls at a constant speed.
How does a parachute reduce the terminal velocity of a person falling through the air?
The parachute increase the surface area and so therefore increase air resistance, slowing the person down, and reducing terminal velocity.
What is the deffanition of air resistance?
Air resistance is air itself slowing down an object travelling through it.
Can resistance speed up moving objects as well as slowing them down?
Resistance is force opposing motion so it will only slow objects down
What is a rasistance?
Resistance is exactly what it sounds like. The impeding of motion. The slowing of activity in an object or system.
What is resistance to motion?
Mass (inertia), also friction forces (air or rolling resistance)
Which type of food is most effective in slowing down the alcohol-absorption?
high fat
Using running parachute to improve speed and strength?
Attaching a parachute to you while you run will catch wind/air, slowing you down. This resistance will make you have to run faster and harder than normal, making your running regimen more intense and effective.
Does water resistance speed up moving objects?
No, it would slow objects down. Resistance implies that the water is acting against the object's motion, slowing it down.
