Bernoulli Principle And Drag Flashcards
1
Q
Surface drag
A
The friction between the surface of an object and the fluid environment
2
Q
Form drag
A
Impact of the shape of an object on the fluid environment
3
Q
Streamlining
A
Involves shaping a body so it can move as effectively and quickly as possible through a fluid
4
Q
Bernoulli principle
A
States that the faster air molecules travel, the less pressure they exert, while the slower they travel, the more pressure they exert.
5
Q
Angle of attack
A
The tilt of a projectile relative to the air flow. The angle of attack that produces the best lift for the discuss is anything between 25 and 40 degrees
