![]() Size dictates speedA by Abd-afeez![]() Do you really know this, or do you believe this.![]()
Its a proven scientific fact that size dictate speed. D world speed record which is 3000000m/s is held by d world smallest particle (electron).
People started to wonder why is this so. there are two obvious reasons for this. 1 because of d very small surface area of these particles. this subsequently reduce the air resistance that can actually interfere with their speed. this however is not as obvious a reason as the second. Energy concentration matters a lot. this factor will let u know that if u can pull a skate board with a string n let it move as fast as u can. you can't pull a Wheel chair as fast as u did d skateboard. This is because if you actually calculate the actual force you exert on one unit mass of the wheel chair it will be less than that of skate board. So here is d hypothesis. with d same amount of energy. d larger an object gets d smaller it speed is. but then argument stretched to d fact that why are jet faster than a car and car faster than bike. atleast they follow d small smaller smallest order. but then u can try it out urself. give a car a jet engine and give a bike a car engine. if u can do these u then ll see how size counts a lot. © 2009 Abd-afeezAuthor's Note
