projectile motion Flashcards
What is benoullis principle upward lift?
an upward lift force is when the curved surface of the object has a higher velocity and lower pressure. the other side that has a higher pressure and lower velocity wikl always meet the other side at the same time.
What is bernoullis principle? upward
Theory of how an additional lift force is created during flight based on the shape of the projectile
What is the lift force?
Additional force created from pressure gradients forming on opposite surfaces of an aero foil moving through liquid (acts perpendicular to the range of motion)
What is the affect of an upward lift force?
Increases potential flight time of a projectile and therefore the horizontal distance travelled
On benoullis upward where are the lines closer?
at the curved surface (top)
what is the angle of attack?
Most favourable angle of release of a projectile to optimise lift force to increase flight time and horizontal distance
What is an aerofoil?
streamlined shape with a curved upper surface and flat lower surface
what is the resultant force diagram?
weight force arrow smaller than fbd due to the lift force making object feel light below
