F is friction. When car accelerates, the drop goes to the left with the same acceleration so R has to increase since it needs a bigger component to the left . F is always directly proportionality to R so F increases as well.haruspex said:
Thanks for the comment. F is friction. When car accelerates, the drop goes to the left with the same acceleration so R has to increase since it needs a bigger component to the left . F is always directly proportionality to R so F increases as well. Is this correct ?haruspex said:
Water is not solid. When it flows over a surface, it does not all need to move at once.shk said:
The force of the wind created by the car's movement causes the water drop to move on the windscreen. This force is known as air resistance.
The force of gravity pulls the water drop downwards, causing it to eventually fall off the windscreen. This force is constantly acting on all objects on Earth.
The larger the water drop, the more surface area it has to interact with the wind resistance, causing it to move faster and potentially stay on the windscreen longer. Smaller water drops have less surface area and are more easily affected by gravity, causing them to fall off the windscreen faster.
Yes, the shape of the water drop can affect its motion on the windscreen. A more streamlined shape will experience less air resistance and therefore move faster, while a rounder shape will experience more air resistance and move slower.
The faster the car is moving, the stronger the force of the wind will be on the water drop, causing it to move faster and potentially stay on the windscreen longer. Slower speeds will result in less wind resistance and a slower movement of the water drop.
