    EFFECT OF SURFACE AREA ON AIR FRICTION Design Background Information: Air resistance‚ also called drag‚ is the forces that are in opposition to the relative motion of an object through the air. Drag forces act opposite to the oncoming flow velocity. Size and shape are the two factors that affect air resistance. Air resistance depends on the surface area‚ so‚ as the surface area increases‚ the air resistance increases. When an object is falling‚ air resistance acts to push it back up. This is

    Paris is Burning 1. I would argue that the group of poor gay minorities‚ like the people in the ball‚ is a subculture in itself. This group is a subculture of the gay culture. The distinguishing aspects of the group are that they are poor‚ gay‚ and minorities. Another distinguishing aspect is that members of this subculture are typically outcasts. They have been rejected by family members‚ friends‚ and American society as a whole. “It’s hard to imagine a more outcast group in American society

    Many people tend to say that a car is the one who wins the races. And the lists always range down from Mustangs to Ferraris‚ Evos to subarus. From the racetrack to a drag strip a driver must be capable to tune his car and modify it to surpass the required limits to be able to win a race. A turbocharger here with a nice exhaust setup over there can help the car very nicely and can come in handy. But‚ what good is it to have a car that can reach a maximum of 200 mph if the driver racing the car cannot

I observed these individuals in the local nightclubs of L.A. (Micky’s‚ Rage‚ Hamburger Mary’s)‚ where crowds gathered to watch their favorite drag performers lip-synch to popular songs‚ and also entered the homes of others that kept their fetish interests secretive from

    Butler uses drag as an example of potential subversion to traditional gender performativity‚ stating: “Drag is subversive to the extent that it reflects on the imitative structure by which hegemonic gender is itself produced and disputes heterosexuality’s claim on naturalness and originality.” According to Butler‚ drag is one of many ways to resist the power structures that regulate gender identities‚ mainly through the ridiculing of normative cultural and social expressions. Drag destabilizes the

    Response to Question 4 After reading Judith Butler’s quote‚ what I think she is essentially saying is that drag is when one gender dresses and acts like the other; copying the characteristics of that gender. Drag is typically the "male" emulating an overdone "female‚” almost satirical. It is not done out of spite but rather as a celebration of both genders. She also touches upon the fact that gender is nothing but an impersonation. Our gender is ultimately decided by how we act‚ dress and live our

    together they both will add up to an angle of 8 degrees which I believe would be an overall good angle. The reason why it’s important not to add too much dihedral is because with too much dihedral comes with an increase of drag. We know that increasing the angle of attack increases the drag coefficient exponentially while the lift coefficient increases linearly with a greater angle of attack. Making the plain have a dihedral of 8 degrees increases the angle of attack and therefore increases the resultant

    ABSTRACT The basic concept and operation of subsonic wind tunnel was demonstrated in this experiment by conducting airfoil drag analysis on a NACA 0015 airfoil. The small subsonic wind tunnel along with apparatus such as‚ the manometer rake‚ the inclined manometer and the pitot - static tube were used with different baffle settings to record varying pressure readings. To achieve this objective‚ some assumptions were made for the lower range of subsonic flow to simplify the overall analysis. From
