Paddle Boat flashcard

Front

What is hydrodynamics?

Back

The study of fluid motion and the forces acting on fluids.

Front

Why is hydrodynamics important in designing a wooden paddle boat?

Back

To optimize the boat's performance and efficiency in the water.

Front

What are the key components of a wooden paddle boat?

Back

Hull, propeller, elastic energy

Front

How does the design of the boat affect its hydrodynamics?

Back

It affects the boat's hydrodynamics by influencing its speed, stability, and maneuverability.

Front

How can rubber bands be used for propulsion in a wooden paddle boat?

Back

By creating tension and releasing it to propel the boat forward

Front

What role do rubber bands play in the movement of the boat?

Back

Rubber bands provide energy to move the propeller

Front

How can the shape of the paddle impact the boat's movement?

Back

By affecting the amount of water it can push and the direction of the force applied.

Front

Why is it important to consider both hydrodynamics and rubber band propulsion in the design of a wooden paddle boat?

Back

To ensure the boat moves efficiently through water and achieves optimal propulsion.
