Drag

The NHRA Pro stock class is a class that is not very well known. The Pro stock class is one of the hardest to compete in NHRA drag racing. Now, the NHRA has decided to change the rules to help the class become more popular and for a performance standpoint. The problem is some people agree to the new rules and some people disagree. Some of the new rules are fuel injection instead of carburetors and having the manufactures name on the headers and there not allowing hood scoops to make the cars…

Drag force is an aerodynamic force which acts parallel and opposite to the motion of the object when it moves through a fluid. It is caused by friction and differences in air pressure. There are many factors can affect the magnitude of drag force as with aircraft lift. The drag depends linearly on the shape and size of the object moving through the air. The object’s cross-sectional shape determines the form drag which is created by the pressure variation around the object and affects the…

To begin, I had to do an assignment where I had to make a survey about stereotypes and then give to twenty of my classmates and see their responses. Therefore, the article, “ How a Self-Fulfilling Stereotype Can Drag Down Performance” by Shankar Vedantam, talks about how Americans from this General Social Survey business have been giving a national survey that social trends. Also, it says for years that blacks have been scoring lower on the vocabulary test than whites. These are just two of the…

popular club music. A few early birds liter around the dance floor with beer and colorful drinks in hand. The club was a fairly popular underground spot for the people living on the outskirt of society. Each night have a particular theme. Teen night, Drag night, and 90's night; Tonight however was Rave night. The playlist for tonight was remixes of popular pop songs with the rare dubsteps. Leaning against the bar counter chatting to a tall brunet with green eyes was a man named Pietro…

the drag queen’s counterpart, the drag king” (Halberstam 231). The drag king, a relatively recent culturally recognized phenomenon is “a female who dresses up in recognizably male costume and performs in that costume” (Halberstam 232). The subculture of drag kings became most evident in the 1990s as a distinguished genre apart from male impersonation. The drag kings shows started “not as cabernet acts but as male competitions” (Maltz 282). A master of ceremonies would introduce several drag…

I cried over a ship. I was sitting in my living room alone. My parents had left to go to a car show in a town a couple of hours away. Slouching in my dad's recliner, I turned on the TV and started watching Ru Paul's Drag Race. Despite the level of fierceness displayed on the large flat screen before me, I found myself losing interest fairly quickly. I began surfing the internet on my phone and logged onto YouTube. Being the emo piece of trash that I am, I clicked on…

There are different types of drag such as induced drag, skin-friction drag and pressure (foam) drag. Induced drag in this experiment is not relevant as there isn’t a lift component acting of the object. Skin-friction is the drag caused by the interaction between the molecules of the fluid and the solid object. It is dependant of the viscous forces of the flow, viscosity of the fluid and the roughness of the surface of the solid object. Pressure drag, sometimes called foam drag, is generated due…

out. In this science project, you will see aerodynamics, drag, and wind speed do its process on cars. In my experiment,on each car, there are streamers on them.When my wind tunnel turns on, streamers that fly everywhere will represent drag, and streamers that stick to the car will represent aerodynamics. In real life, they use smoke to figure out where drag is.Sometimes, they will put streamers on the car and use this method to determine drag, aerodynamics, and wind speed. Aerodynamics is what…

The social movement that I have decided to focus on is the Gay Rights Movement that took place in the 1960’s. The goal of this movement was to protest the heteronormative views of Canada and the United States at the time. Specifically because during this time being gay was considered illegal as well as gay marriage and same sex relationships were prohibited. The interesting thing about this movement however, is that campaigners used their bodies as part of the social movement. Meaning that the…

Mother Camp examines female impersonators in the Midwest by breaking down the many forms of cross-dressing such as those who did so as a living (labor), those who did so strictly for sex, and those who did so for their own fulfillment. Cross-dressing, drag, or female impersonation is a subculture of the gay community. Within this subculture, Newton underscores several themes relating to sexual orientation, gender, and camp. The notion of camp is communicated though gay…
