Sentences with phrase «air resistance drag»

Not exact matches

The skater crouches forward (as if he was skating in a squat position) to reduce drag caused by air resistance on the front of his body, and to help him balance.

The drag coefficient is coded into the game's software to simulate air resistance, which greatly affects the pace at which an object rises and falls in the shape of a parabola.

The elements around the wheels are designed to precisely direct air to reduce drag, the wheels themselves have an aero design, and the tyres are bespoke Bridgestones for low noise and low rolling resistance.

Drag or resistance produced by a moving object, such as a motor vehicle, as it displaces the air in its path

Low air drag and rolling resistance.

Fuel saving technologies included: Integrated Stop & Go (ISG), low rolling - resistance tyres, an alternator management system (AMS) and a drag - reducing «active air flap» in the front grille.

The combination of a re-shaped front and rear fascias with a deeper air dam, extended rocker panels and lower drag wheels allow air to flow around the body with less resistance.

Open windows increase aerodynamic drag (wind resistance), making your vehicle use more energy to push through the air.

Note that the Model S won over the Prius because while they had the same drag area, the Tesla had a lower coefficient of drag and a larger frontal area, so it did better starting from a disadvantaged position (smaller frontal areas offer less resistance to incoming air, all else being equal).
