    Essay On Drag Racing

    • 451 Words
    • 2 Pages

    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

    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

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

    The Physics of Badminton Gerard Ramos Physics 4A Prof. Scott Hildreth I would like to start off with a light introduction to the sport of Badminton. Badminton is a sport that isn’t too popular in the United States; some people would even say that it shouldn’t even be called a “sport”. The majority see badminton from a “back-yard sport” point of view‚ part of this is due to the lack of actual badminton court facilities in America‚ also because it’s a bit expensive to play. Badminton is not

    INTRODUCTION A key aspect in attempting to improve and perfect ones sporting skills is to understand the biomechanics that are involved. Biomechanics is the study of how the body moves and the efficiency of movements (INCLUDE TEXTBOOK REFRENCE). By understanding the principles underpinning an athlete’s performance using biomechanics‚ it enables you to detect errors easier in the technique and adjust the athletes’ performance accordingly. Good morning my name is Melyssa and today I will be analysing
