    Calculating how to overcome drag

    Homework Statement Studetns examine the aerodynamics of a model car which has a drag force in air of 10 N at 10 m/s. They wish to estimate what the drag will be for a full scale model, and the energy lost on a given trip. The drag coefficient C remains constant C= 0.6. The cross-sectional...

    Effects of Meristem Removal and Auxin Concentration on Coleptile Cell Growth

    auxins experiment Thanks :) What would you expect to happen when you removed the meristem from 10 coleptiles, then placed five in water and the other five in auxin concentration of (2mg/ml)? What would you notice about the number of cells for each section?

    Half Equations and the Thermite Process for Welding Railway Tracks

    The thermite process can be used to weld lengths of railway track together. A mould placed over the ends of the rails to be joined is filled with a charge of aluminium powder and iron(iii) oxide. When the mixture is ignited, a redox reaction occurs to form molten iron, which joins the rails...
