How does the long shape of submarines and torpedoes reduce the dragthey feel when moving under water?

Physics

Wittaler [7]10 months ago
5 0

In the front side of the submarines and torpedoes, the small area of contact is maintained to reduce the pressure or the drag force on the submarines due to the water.

The drag force in terms of the area of cross-section of the submarine is,

F_d\propto A

where F_d is the drag force acting on the submarine and A is the area of cross-section of a submarine in contact with the water,

There is also piped formation that takes place through which the water runs lengthwise while the submarine is moving in the forward direction, thus, reduces the force on the submarine due to the water.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Lower energy shell which will be nearer to the nucleus.

Explanation:

When electron move from one energy level to another, an electron must gain or lose just the right amount of energy.

When atoms releases energy, electrons move into lower energy levels.  The electrons in the shells aways from the nucleus have more energy as compared to the electrons in the nearer shells.

Electrons with the lowest energy are found closest to the nucleus, where the attractive force of the positively charged nucleus is the greatest. Electrons that have higher energy are found further away

The number of protons equals the atomic number. TRUE OR FALSE?
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

The number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in an atom can be determined from a set of simple rules. The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to the atomic number (Z). The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons.
