Physics Help – Least Drag

[Arladerus]

This is the image of a vehicle from the side. The left side is the front. Which of the three designs will be the least affected by drag?

[Dest1]

<90 just cuz

[tarheel91]

Never had to do aerodynamics in physics. O_o

It’s kind of a bit more complicated than a chapter in an introductory physics course.

[MasterCheeze]

Go with Dest’s guess. I mean, it’s one problem; what do you got to lose?

[Gujju]

yah, if i was going to guess, i’d say <90

[DarkDragoon]

Obviously <90.

DarkDragoon said: Obviously <90.

There is no obvious in this field.

A streamlined half body meets the ground at 90 degrees, so I’ll go with =90. Honestly, though, I find this question retarded as it’s nothing more than basic memorization. You have to take three semesters of a calculus and differential equations before you can even begin to be qualified to understand this stuff.
