Air Resistance Tyres And Friction
1,870 wordsDragsters use a combination of large wide tyres or the rear and small narrow tyres on the front this combination is used for the following reasons: The front wheels: The front wheels are very narrow. This is so a minimum of air resistance or drag affects the dragster with lower drag better acceleration an in turn a better top speed can be achieved all leading to a better pass (race time). Now lets try to understand the concept of air resistance and drag. A basic example is placing your hand out ...

Air Resistance Straight Line
1,374 wordsPlanning The experiment is to determine the horizontal motion of a projectile when launched from a ski slope´ at different speeds. It is thought that the rate at which the ball bearing is released from the slope will affect how far it travels in a horizontal direction. The height up the slope that the ball is released will be proportional to the distance that it travels. Therefore, if the height from which it is released is doubled it will travel twice as far. When the experiment is conduc...
