influence of fluid mechanics on technology Flashcards
what sports have aerodynamics had an influence on
sprinting
cycling
bobsled
how has sprinting had changes in technology
changes in materials and designs of running clothes
how has cycling has changes in technology
lighter materials used to make bikes
bikes have fewer spokes on front wheel and no spokes on rear wheel
helmets have changed shape
how has bobsled changed with technology
elements and suits made of new materials to reduce air resistance
what sports has been affected by technology in hydrodynamics
swimming
sailing
how has technology affect hydrodynamics in swimming
swimming hats and suits made from lycra or latex
some swimmers choose to shave their entire body
how has technology affect hydrodynamics in sailing
boats are made of optimal materials
shape of boats have been adapted
what sport has the Bernoulli principle affected by technology
more advanced car designs
how does aerodynamics affect sprinting
decreases running Time due to lower air resistance on spinning suit
how does aerodynamics affect cycling performance
makes the bike and cyclist more aerodynamic, making them quicker, and reduces the effects of air resistance
how does aerodynamics affect bobsled on performance
lower tire resistance means the consoled can travel downwards at greater speeds
