Lab: Lift and Drag on an Airfoil Date Experiment Performed: 03/29/2012 Date Report Submitted: 04/12/2012 Names of Group Members: Grader ’s Comments: Michael Stevens Grade: Abstract: The Aerodynamics Lab: Lift and Drag on an Airfoil experiment examined the lift and drag on a NACA 0012 airfoil inside a wind tunnel. The objective of the experiment was to obtain information relating to the lift and drag of the airfoil‚ such as lift forces‚ lift coefficients‚ drag forces including

debating why drag racing is better than circle track "dirt track" racing. Here are my reasons why drag racing is better than circle track. Because you go way faster in a lot shorter distance and go in a straight line. In stock car racing you just go in circles. Drag racing is also better because when you are turning the corners in stock cars you run into people and your car gets all banged up. Then with getting your car banged up you have to put a new body on every couple of weeks. But in drag racing

The individual sport I chose was badminton. For badminton there are a variety of tactics you can use to help win a game. Players should use different types of serves to vary their skills throughout the game and to ensure that their opponent will not predict which serves they are next going to perform. You can use an overhead clear to push the opponent to the back of the badminton court; it gives an opportunity to return an offensive shot. Angling the shuttlecock away from the player makes it harder

Elevation Not Having Air Resistance Not having air resistance as a factor in the practical has a big impact on the outcomes that you get‚ as there is nothing acting against gravity hence a greater acceleration the object has. Having Air Resistance However having air resistance also changes the outcome

HARDWARE 3.1 INTRODUCTION Quadcopter is a flying vehicle with six degrees of freedom which uses four rotors to push air downwards and to create a thrust force for keeping the quadcopter on the air. The pilot or flight control unit will control the orientation and tile of the multicopter by reading the data from the sensors. Gyro‚ accelerometer‚ magnetometer or GPS can be used to sense the tile‚ orientation and position of the vehicle. It can be used in many applications merely by changing the sensors

Discussion: As shown in the result section‚ the drag force increases steadily with increasing wind speed. However‚ for high wind speeds with largest sphere‚ this is not true. There is a region that the sphere experiences a large drop of drag force. The drag coefficient remains relatively constant for most cases. However‚ when a Reynolds number reach about 300‚000‚ and the sphere is the largest one; for this case‚ the drag coefficient drops abruptly. We also found that for the same wind speed‚ the

lift and the coefficient of drag while the aircraft is pitched at various angles of attack. This paper examines the research process and the data that was collected in order to determine the lift to drag ratio for various angles of attack. Objectives To experimentally determine both the coefficient of lift 〖(C〗_L) and the coefficient of drag (C_D) of a Piper Saratoga when it is flown at different angles of attack (α). This data will be used to calculate the lift to drag ratio (L/D) for various angles

Aim: To measure how the size of a parachute t’s surface area affects the parachute’s speed‚ acceleration and time of flight. Hypothesis: A parachute with a larger surface area would fall slower due to that fact there would be a higher level of drag‚ or in other words more air resistance. Materials: * Sturdy garbage bags * Metric ruler * Scissors * Washers * Twist ties * Light-weight string * Stopwatch Method: 1.Gather all equipment necessary for this experiment

Kyle Tucker Aliens Take Over Mars English lll 14 December‚ 2012 I am sure we all have been wondering and heard on the news about the supposedly finding of earth on mars. There are always the people that find a way to make it not believable‚ but can they really prove that there is no life on mars? The NASA Mars rover‚ Curiosity‚ has found evidence that there could possibly be life on Mars. “Rumors are currently swirling after John Grotzinger‚ project scientist for the Curiosity rover
