MadSci Network: Physics |
I've already checked the archives and i haven't found anything useful so I was hoping that someone could answer this. Say that a shape had to be only less than ten inches all around, which shape would fall the slowest (create the most drag)? would a sphere fall slower if it was bigger than a cube or would the cube's flat sides create more air resistance? Would a combination of the two shapes create the slowest fall? assume that the cube and the triangle are slightly lighter than the sphere because they are smaller than the sphere. Thanks!
