the vehicle. A force that works against cars in racing is drag. Drag is the force that acts on an object in the opposite direction of its motion. There are two types of drags in car racing‚ friction drag and pressure drag. Friction drag is friction between the surface of an object and the air. Friction drag does negative work against cars and slows them down. The more surface area that is able to be hit by the air the more it will work against the car. The other type of drag is Pressure drag

Misconceptions of Physics One of the misconceptions in physics is about Newtons laws. It says that friction can’t act in the direction of motion. This is wrong because friction can act in the same direction as motion simply because a car on a road is traveling in one direction. The friction on the tires causes it to slow down over a distance along with some air resistance. This proves that friction can act in the same direction as motion A misconception in physics is that the moon is not in free

difference was fairly significant. This happened because of friction‚ when the two pucks collided‚ they have lost a bit of their momentum‚ so the momentum after the collision differed. Kinetic energy differed more than what was expected‚ it was significantly less after the collision‚ the difference before and after the collision was 63.7%‚ so 36.3% of that momentum was lost. This have occurred because the collision is inelastic and since there was friction when the two pucks collided‚ their speed became less

The Bradshaw model aims to show how different characteristics of a river change from the source to the mouth in a simplistic method that can easily be understood (greenfield geography‚ 2012). A geographical model is “an attempt to understand natures is high complexity. Therefore geographers try to develop simplified models of it” (Waugh‚ D. 2009). The model shows a series of triangles and each one represents a different fluvial characteristic. On the left is the source and on the right is the mouth

improve their game. Due to 3M’s proprietary “micro replication” technology‚ which is “equivalent to using thousands of micro-replication fingers”‚ golfers will be able to have a better grip and increase swing distance as the glove reduces gripping friction and increases swing control. The primary target segment consists of the large U.S baby boomer population (those born in 1946-1964) and dual income couples. Majority of the baby boomers are either retired‚ thus having more disposable money set aside

every person is equal. A just law “is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God.” Thoreau argues that unjust laws exist yet not all unjust laws should be fought against. He believes “if the injustice is part of the necessary friction of the machine of government‚ let it go…perchance it will wear smooth--certainly the machine will wear out.” He argues by saying that if the law “is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another‚ then…break the law

Friction- Friction when you’re driving is what stops your car. When you hit your brakes‚ it stops the tires‚ and that dragging is creating friction. 6. Traction- Its a force that makes heat and helps the tires keep traction on the road. 7. Centrifugal Force- 8. Centripetal Force- 9. Deceleration- Deceleration‚ the opposite

It is measure in cumecs (cubic metres per second). Friction: A force that is created when water comes into contact with vegetation/ rocks in the river. It resists the relative movement of the river. Gradient: the slope or steepness of the river profile. Hydraulic radius: Ratio between the wetted perimeter
