Which of the following statements about drag is false?

58% Answer Correctly

the amount of drag depends on the speed of an object

the amount of drag depends on the shape of an object

slower objects experience more drag than faster objects

drag occurs during movement through a fluid


Solution

Drag is friction that opposes movement through a fluid like liquid or air. The amount of drag depends on the shape and speed of the object with slower objects experiencing less drag than faster objects and more aerodynamic objects experiencing less drag than those with a large leading surface area.


2

Depending on where you apply effort and resistance, the wheel and axle can multiply:

45% Answer Correctly

speed or power

force or distance

force or speed

power or distance


Solution

If you apply the resistance to the axle and the effort to the wheel, the wheel and axle will multiply force and if you apply the resistance to the wheel and the effort to the axle, it will multiply speed.


3

Potential energy is energy that has the potential to be converted into what?

80% Answer Correctly

work

power

heat

 kinetic energy


Solution

Potential energy is the energy of an object by virtue of its position relative to other objects. It is energy that has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy.


4

What type of load creates different stresses at different locations on a structure?

60% Answer Correctly

impact load

non-uniformly distributed load

dynamic load

static uniformly distributed load


Solution

A concentrated load acts on a relatively small area of a structure, a static uniformly distributed load doesn't create specific stress points or vary with time, a dynamic load varies with time or affects a structure that experiences a high degree of movement, an impact load is sudden and for a relatively short duration and a non-uniformly distributed load creates different stresses at different locations on a structure.


5

Drag is a type of:

81% Answer Correctly

potential energy

kinetic energy

work

friction


Solution

Drag is friction that opposes movement through a fluid like liquid or air. The amount of drag depends on the shape and speed of the object with slower objects experiencing less drag than faster objects and more aerodynamic objects experiencing less drag than those with a large leading surface area.
