-  Do you know what stops/effects a projectile when in the air?
-  Can we combat this?   How so?

The video link below highlights the 3 factors which influence a projectile in the air. 

What sports would need to utilise these Biomechanical Principles for optimal performance?

Explain what steps were taken to modify the air flow and reduce the impact of drag/wind resistance?  Whaty two types of 'air flow' affect the rider?

  • Why do golf balls have dimples?   Are they important in the sport of Golf? 
  • Would a golf ball without dimples fly farther?

See how engineering and planning have influenced how machines are designed to overcome wind resistance (drag forces).  Take note of how 'lift', 'laminar' and 'turnbulent flow impacts on some of the fastest machines ever built.
