Drag

Truck Series.”(Mukul Bhatia.What is NASCAR?.www.quora.com.) On the rough racetrack nascar cars are made to be driven in extreme conditions. In the sport of racing aerodynamics downforce, drag determines the motion of the race car. Car aerodynamics is a study of aerodynamics of road vehicles. Main goals are to reduce drag and wind noise, reducing noise emission, and to prevent undesired lift forces…

would look somewhat the same in relation to the basketball since this object was not affected as much as the lighter weight objects (Frisbee and coffee filter) in terms of air drag. The outcomes of all experiments conducted were substantially correct, as they properly evaluated the consequences of objects in respect to drag force. As stated above, the first experiment, the acceleration of a falling mini-basketball, I had trouble visualizing the experiment and thus my predictions were incorrect…

She suggests that drag queens behave in a way that illuminates different forms of ‘hyper femininity’ (656). Hyper femininity is explained as an “exaggerated adherence to stereotypic feminine gender role” (656). The choices that the drag queens make based on appearance, such as wearing a wig or putting on lipstick, are examples of hyper femininity performed by drag queens. Greaf states that gender is an act that everyone performs and those…

Drag can be considered central to queer theory itself since it has ascended in contemporary academic theoretical venues as the singular approach to gay and lesbian studies. Contreras explains that drag symbolizes many important and conflicted questions regarding the modern urban queer identities and gay male identities in particular. The drag queen can represent a lively fixture in a gay parade or a homophobic representation…

electric vehicle deign to against aerodynamic drag must be reduced to a very low level to keep the same performance as conventional vehicle. Aerodynamic drag force and drag reduction is a crucial task…

a group called the Etruscan's. Click and drag to move Roman Roads Ancient Roman roads were built by men of the military, and are still seen in Rome today. Many of the ancient Roman roads were built with sand, small rocks, big rocks, and paving stones. Click and drag to move Due to this, the ancient Romans were able to travel anywhere they wanted in their empire because they engineered bridges and roads to allow them to do so. Click and drag to move…

vibrations, or more commonly known as vortex-induced vibrations (VIV’s), exerted on bluff bodies. Due to the production of vortex shedding beyond bluff cross sections, an alternating pressure distribution produces periodic fluctuations in lift and drag forces on the surface of the body; generating a vibrational response. This phenomenon plays a significant role in the design of common engineering structures such as bridges, oceanic structures, offshore drilling risers, cables, heat exchangers…

room, counting his dwindling tips. Jonathan Cleveland-Hindman, a 25-year-old queen known as Jexa Ren’ae Van de Kamp, took the stage once again after The Wreckroom drag club reopened its doors to the public in July. The Wreckroom was Oklahoma City’s premiere drag club for LGBT youth, and was previously closed for financial reasons. “Drag is all about expressing myself,” said…

may seem that McCarthy was merely impersonating Spicer, I would argue that the level of political subversion surrounding the act makes it more explicitly a drag king performance. As Halberstam says in his chapter on drag kings, “whereas the male impersonator attempts to produce a plausible performance of maleness as the whole of her act, the drag king performs masculinity (often parodically) and makes the exposure of the theatricality of masculinity into the mainstay of her act” (232). It is…

Introduction 1.1 What is aerofoil? Aerofoil is a large stucture which is attached to the airplane. It has curved surfaces designed to give required ratio of lift and drag. It helps to create different aeodynamic forces. The force perpendicular to the motion of aeofoil is lift force. The force parallel to the motion of aerofoil is drag force. 1.2 How it works? Aerofoil consists of following components: • Suction surface • Pressure surface • Leading edge • Tailing edge • Chord line…
