Does a design of a car affect the speed?
The weight, aerodynamics, horse power and gear ratios all affect the speed of an automobile.
A sailboat is approaching a PWC head-on What should the sailboat do?
Maintain present course and speed.
How does Bike clothing design affect the speed of a person on a bike?
it does not affect the speed at all, unless the clothing is really loose on you and is blowing in the wind
What the speed of f-16?
Depending on the model, the maximum design speed is between Mach 1.8 and 2.0.
What is the average sailboat speed?
Hi There is not an average speed. It depends on the length and wind direction and speed
A powerboat is about to cross paths with a sailboat under sail. What should the powerboat do?
Speed up to pass in front of the sailboat
How do you find hull speed of a sailboat?
To determine the hull speed of a sailboat, multiply the square root of the length at the water line by 1.34. The answer will be in nautical miles per hour.
How fast does a sailing boat go?
------------------------ A sailboat's speed is directly proportional to wind speed and hull design. The longest distance in 24 hours and the fastest circumnavigation are currently held by a trimaran and the short-course speed record is currently is currently held by a multihull built specifically for the attempt. For you and I sailing our fiberglass monohulls on the weekends, we are having a great day if we hit 10 or 12 knots. ------------------------ A sailboat can reach 30 miles per hour. There are two general types of sailboats, displacement type (monohull) and non-displacement type (catamarans, trimarans). The top speed of a displacement sailboat is based upon its waterline length because it sits in the water and cannot climb above the wall of water in front of it as it travels. This is calculated by taking the square root of its waterline length and multiplying by 1.3. The top speed of a non-displacement sailboat is limited by the sailboat design, the speed of the wind, and their point of sail - these sailboats can go much faster than the speed of the wind that is powering them, and are the fastest sailboats.
How fast can an 8 foot sailboat travel?
Depends. Size is not the predominant factor when determining speed for a sailboat. Depends on the wind condidtions
What is the speed of a sailboat traveling 100m in 140s?
black
How does shape of sail effect sailboat speed?
the shape dose effect it.
How does the model of a car affect its speed?
Aerodynamics, weight of the car, horsepower of the engine, are all factors in the speed the car can travel.
