When the aircraft reaches hypersonic speed, it uses the heating energy from air friction to increase the heat capacity of the fuel ( " reform " the fuel ).
22.
Extending Ker?uno?copia's idea, would it be realistic to build outdoors panels in a particular material, being able to accumulate static electricity simply from air friction ( triboelectric effect )?
23.
The highly elongated shape and high mass are to enhance sectional density and therefore minimize kinetic energy loss due to air friction and maximize penetration of hard or buried targets.
24.
The Concorde stretches an extra 6 to 10 inches ( 15 to 25 centimeters ) in flight as its frame expands with the heat of air friction caused by speed.
25.
At lower altitudes, due to the high speed required to remain in orbit, air friction is a very important consideration affecting satellites, much more than in the popular image of space.
26.
There's still one person in each car, but the cars are close together, causing less air friction and therefore fuel consumption ( and thus cost, climate change and health hazard ).
27.
The newer tube tunnels in London ( Victoria and Jubilee Lines ) are generally at least 6 inches larger in diameter than the older ones, and air friction is the main reason.
28.
It " is " necessarily equal in terms of " momentum " & mdash; provided that the bullet does not pass through the victim and has not yet lost signficant speed due to air friction.
29.
Also no idea on how much heat is released by those electrical arcs or exactly how much kinetic energy will be lost due to air friction . talk ) 23 : 15, 1 March 2012 ( UTC)
30.
If the plane is approaching what weather forecasters call domes of supercold air, the pilots can speed up the jet to increase the air friction against the fuselage, which prevents the fuel temperature from dropping as fast.
