We introduce the physics of sailing to answer these and some other questions. But first: A puzzle. A river runs straight from West to East at 10 knots. A 10 mile race is held: the boats sail downstream, from West to East. The first heat is held in the morning, when there is no w...
The Physics Of Sailing – Using The Principle Of Lift To Sail Faster The physics behind sailing is very interesting in that sailboats do not need the wind to push from behind in order to move. The wind can be blowing from the side and the sailboat can still move forward. How is this ...
These and many other important questions are addressed by the authors in this detailed study of the motive forces of a yacht. (NBN)GarrettRoss / WilkieDave (Illustrator)Sheridan House IncGarrett, R., 1996. The Symmetry of Sailing: the Physics of Sailing for Yachtsmen. Sheridan House, Inc....
How do sails work in the wind; How does a sailboat move upwind? how the boat moves; Forces on sails, forces that push the boat; that’s the physics of sailing aerodynamics

To find just how far the human body can be pushed researchers studied athletes who ran six marathons a week over months and compared their energy intake and expenditure data to those of other athletes, workers, and pregnant women. WIRED's Robbie Gonzalez
Levi Coffin, a Quaker raised in North Carolina, explained, "The Bible, in bidding us to feed the hungry and clothe the naked, said nothing about color." 黑人去当乘务员常常是由于本人痛苦的经历,而那些白人则往往是受了宗教信仰的感召。在北卡罗来纳州长大的贵格会教徒利瓦伊·科芬解释说:“《圣经...
This reanalysis represents an extension of the ERA-40 Project (Uppala et al., 2005), with some advances in data assimilation, use of observations and model physics. The horizontal spatial resolution of the atmospheric model corresponds to approximately 79 km (T255 horizontal spectral resolution). ...
This is similar to the phenomenon of entropy increase67 in physics -- Political parties are like living organisms, which without internal innovation or external intervention, will have diminishing functions and declining efficiency due to continuous entropy increase, and eventually become chaotic until ...
