True
False
Friction is defined as the resistance to movement.
True
False
Air is a viscous fluid.
True
False
A car with a Cd of 1.0 is more aerodynamically efficient than a car with a Cd of .10.
True
False
If the speed of a vehicle is doubled, drag will also double.
True
False
The best techniques to use to reduce friction in a moving vehicle are to use axle bearings, lubricate and polish moving parts, and make sure axles are straight.
True
False
A ramp test accuracy of 80 is better than a ramp test accuracy of 90.
True
False
Unbalanced wheels can cause energy to be wasted.
True
False
The eye screws on the bottom of a CO2 car are an example of a suspension system.
True
False
The plastic wheels on a CO2 car are an example of a support system.
True
False
The study of airflow and the forces involved when an object moves through the air is
drag
coefficient of drag
laminar flow
aerodynamics
The force acting on a moving vehicle that counteracts (is opposite of) thrust is
A. drag
B. gravity
C. lift
D. momentum
Of the following, the one with the largest coefficient of drag is the
passenger car
tractor-trailer
van
parachute
When the boundary layers surrounding a vehicle begin to build on top of one another creating drag, this type of drag is called
skin friction
viscous friction
air layer friction
boundary friction
Drag caused by irregularities or protrusions on outer surfaces of a vehicle is called
protrusion drag
surface drag
parasite drag
skin drag
Shapes that permit air movement with the least amount of drag are called
laminar
dragless
streamlined
none of the above
