Document Summary

Ex: when blowing on a strip of paper from above, the top of the paper has a low- As a result, the paper is pushed forwards. On an airplane wing, the bottom of the wing is flat with a low-pressure zone; whereas. Increases the total flow velocity acting on a body. Ex: body v = 20mps, headwind v = 5mps, vres = 25mps (20 +5) The drag velocity is equal to the bodies velocity, then add on the headwind. Decreases the flow velocity acting on a body. Ex: body v = 20mps, tailwind v = 5mps, vres = 15 mps. Drag velocity equals the body"s velocity, then subtract the velocity of the tailwind as it. The air or fluid resistance, or motion of the air flowing past a projectile. Headwind: equal to the velocity of the drag + the velocity of the headwind. Tailwind: equal to the velocity of the drag the velocity of the tailwind is behind you.
