Why is the air drag on a baseball different than it would be for a smooth ball with no stitches? How does this apply to the desi

Answer:

The stitches and dimples around a baseball  and a golf ball respectively, disturbs the air drag on the balls once they are in motion, allowing the them to travel more easily.

Explanation:

The stitches on a baseball disturbs the air drag on the ball when the ball is in motion, allowing the ball to travel more easily. Depending on the orientation of the ball in flight, the drag changes as the flow is disturbed by the stitches.  

A smooth ball with no stitches or dimples has more air drag that opposes the motion.

A golf ball is smooth ball with dimples to create a thin turbulent boundary layer of air that clings to the ball's surface. This allows the smoothly flowing air to follow the ball's surface a little farther around the back side of the ball, thereby decreasing the size of the wake, and allowing the ball to travel more easily.

kari74 [83]

Answer:

People firstly believe that the planets move in a circular orbit until Newton came up with his hypothesis by inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.

Explanation:

  • Everyone assumed the planets were perfect circles until Newton came up with an idea. Slowly people would make maps of the orbits that added circles on circles, and they could never really explain about the movement of the planet. They simply say that planets move on circles but they lacked the math to explain or prove it. Then Newton came up with an idea of inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.
  • Firstly people used their observations and say that the orbits looked like circles, then they developed their models and did the math, and proposed their hypothesizes which were wrong, until Newton came along and tried to match a model that used elliptical orbits and invented the math that allowed him to make predictions with it. His model worked for most planets.
  • However he could not explain about the planet Mercury for instance since it was a very strange orbit. Then after the Einstein's theory of General Relativity he could also explain very deeply about it.
  • Scientists and Astronomers made hypothesizes that there was another planet orbiting too close to the sun to see with telescopes, called Vulcan, that explained mercury's orbit before Einstein's theory. Then long after we had telescopes which was good enough to see if there was a planet orbiting closer to the sun than mercury.

nydimaria [60]

<u>Answer:</u>

<h3>During wet and freezing temperatures, ice is able to form at a faster pace on bridges because freezing winds blow from above and below and both sides of the bridge, causing heat to quickly escape. The road freezes slower because it is merely losing heat through its surface.</h3>

What are sun spots??????????
babymother [125]
Sunspots<span> are temporary phenomena on the </span>Sun<span>'s photosphere that appear as </span>spots<span> darker than the surrounding areas. They are regions of reduced surface temperature caused by concentrations of magnetic field flux that inhibit convection. </span>Sunspots<span> usually appear in pairs of opposite magnetic polarity.
