Question

Name the force that acts on a boat but not on a car? and explain your answer?

Answer 1

Explanation:

There are three forces acting on a vehicle. i) Air drag force acting in a direction of vehicle motion. ii) Aerodynamic lift acting vertically upward. iii) Cross wired force acting in lateral direction.

The two main forces acting on a stationary sailboat are gravity and buoyancy. In order for the boat to move, the force of wind pushes on the sail and causes the boat to move.
