Paddle Boat quiz

What is hydrodynamics?

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

• The study of electrical circuits

• The study of rock formations

• The study of animal behavior

Why is hydrodynamics important in designing a wooden paddle boat?

• To make the boat more aesthetically pleasing.

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

• To make the boat heavier and more stable in the water.

• To add unnecessary complexity to the boat's design.

What are the key components of a wooden paddle boat?

• Hull, propeller, elastic energy

• Oars, life jackets, and fishing net

• Sails, anchor, and rudder

How does the design of the boat affect its hydrodynamics?

• It makes the boat more prone to sinking

• It only affects the boat's appearance

• It has no effect on the boat's hydrodynamics

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

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

• By creating tension and releasing it to propel the boat forward

• By using a motor to power the boat

• By attaching the rubber bands to the boat's anchor

• By filling the boat with helium to make it float

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

• Rubber bands help steer the boat

• Rubber bands provide energy to move the propeller

• Rubber bands stabilize the boat in the water

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

• By changing the color of the water it floats on

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

• By influencing the speed of the wind

• By altering the boat's weight distribution

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

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

• To make the boat more difficult to maneuver in the water.

• To increase the risk of sinking the boat.

• To make the boat heavier and more stable in the water.
