How can skin drag friction be reduced? Friction drag can be reduced by delaying the point at which laminar flow becomes turbulent. This can be accomplished by smoothing the exposed surfaces of the aeroplane by using flush rivets on the leading edges and through painting, cleaning, waxing, polishing or the application of surface coatings. Why […]
How do you find the wavelength of a yellow light?
How do you find the wavelength of a yellow light? The frequency (f) and wavelength (d) are related by the equation f = c/d, where c is the speed of light (approximately 2.99 x 10^8 meters per second). A specific yellow light might be 570 nanometers in wavelength, therefore, (2.99 x 10^8)/(570 x 10^-9) = […]

Although freshwater is considered a renewable resource, the use of freshwater in some regions exceeds the ability of natural processes to replenish supplies. How is fresh water both a renewable and […]
What happens during eversion?
What happens during eversion? Inversion involves the movement of the sole towards the median plane – so that the sole faces in a medial direction. Eversion involves the movement of the sole away from the median plane – so that the sole faces in a lateral direction. What causes eversion? When rotation is imparted to […]
