Which of the following statements about drag is false?
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 |
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.
Depending on where you apply effort and resistance, the wheel and axle can multiply:
speed or power |
|
force or distance |
|
force or speed |
|
power or distance |
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.
Potential energy is energy that has the potential to be converted into what?
work |
|
power |
|
heat |
|
kinetic energy |
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.
What type of load creates different stresses at different locations on a structure?
impact load |
|
non-uniformly distributed load |
|
dynamic load |
|
static uniformly distributed load |
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.
Drag is a type of:
potential energy |
|
kinetic energy |
|
work |
|
friction |
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.
