I'd like to thank all who responded, I found a lot of the same info you have posted in doing my own research. I am dealing with some very stubborn GA Tech grads who still refuse to admit a marketing guy from a rival school just might be right. So i have dropped the discussion for now, but I am...
air density
How would you respond to someone who says:
That all of the computations that shows humid air is less than dry air rely on the ideal gas law, which fails to account for the polar nature of water molecules (and therefore the REAL nature of the gas). If an alternative equation that...
My assumption is an object will travel further with less resistance. I'm not so sure about your bouyancy theory though. Everyone knows baseballs fly further in the less dense air of high elevation ball parks. I am more concerned with the density (and related resistance) of dry vs. humid air
How do I explain to my Engineer friends that a ball will actually travel further in humid conditions b/c humid air has less density than drier air? Please help us come to a conclusion. Thanks
