Which has more air resistance: a flat sheet of paper or a paper airplane? (1 point)

a sheet of paper because it has a wider area
a sheet of paper because it has a wider area

a paper airplane because it has a less wide area
a paper airplane because it has a less wide area

a paper airplane because it has a wider area
a paper airplane because it has a wider area

a sheet of paper because it has a less wide area

Respuesta :

Answer:

A paper airplane because it has a less wide area

Explanation:

A sheet of paper would aimlessly fall to the ground, as a paper airplane would  be efficiant to glide if folded and thrown right.

The object that offers the greatest resistance to air, of the options given is:

  • a sheet of paper because it has a wider area.

Air Resistance and Friction.

When you have two objects that come from the same material (paper) and therefore have the same coefficient of friction, other values must be taken into account such as the surface area subjected to friction by air and, subsequently, the aerodynamic structure of the object. .

In the case of a sheet of paper, the entire flat character of said paper would be the contact area, therefore it would offer great resistance to air and if it was thrown it could only fall without much advance in the horizontal axis.

For its part, a paper airplane has the aerodynamic structure to break resistance through an extremely small initial contact area (the tip of the airplane), which allows a more fluid passage of the rest of the structure and, therefore, a less air resistance.
