Kite Final

The document analyzes the forces acting on two kites of different masses through force, pressure, and density calculations. For kite 1, the forces of gravity and drag were greater than lift and thrust due to its heavier mass. Kite 2 was lighter and thus experienced greater lift and thrust forces allowing it to rise faster. Air pressure calculations also showed higher static and dynamic pressure for kite 2 corresponding to its higher flight velocity. The conclusion is that each kite's forces depended on its specific mass properties.

Conclusion

In this project we can conclude that each force


depends o the type of kite. For example, our first
kite was really heavy and so the force of lift wasnt
that big because the kite couldnt get up due to its
weight. But, our kite 2 was lighter and was able to
get up much quicker. We can also see a similar thing
in the pressure, kite 2s pressure is extremely high
because it moved faster due to its weight.
To conclude, it was a very educational project.
