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

Physics

Wittaler [7]11 months ago

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.

A proton is moved from a position where the electric potential is 125 V to a position where the electric potential is 275 V. The
kakasveta [241]
We determine the electric potential energy of the proton by multiplying the net electric potential to the charge of the proton. The net electric potential is the difference of the final state to the that of the initial state. So, it would be 275 - 125 = 150 V.

electric potential energy = 150 (<span>1.602 × 10-19) = 2.4x10^-17 J</span>
