Does the design of the tail of its kite affects ITS FLIGHT?
Yes. The pointeir the tail, the more streamlined the kite. Therefore the faster and higher the height travels'
Why does a kite have a tail?
So that it can fly better the tail helps the kite balance better as well
How are you going to shape design your kite?
The simplest design is a square of paper braced with a cross shaped light weight piece of wood. A stabilising tail goes onto the lowest corner. A short piece of string goes between the two diagonal corners so a long string can be attached to the kite from the ground. You will know, on a windy day, if you have built the kite the best way as the kite will want to fly for as long as the wind blows.
How does the length of a kites tail affect the wait flies?
The tail causes drag and keeps the kite stable. By pulling down, on the part of the kite it is attached to, it keeps it orientated upright and more stable.The longer the tail, the more drag. A short tail, may not be enough in a strong wind to stabilise the kite. A tail that is too long, may cause difficulties in getting it off the ground in a light wind.
A kite and its tail total 32 feet in length. The tail is 18 feet longer than the length of the kite's body. How long is the kite's tail?
We've got the following: x - length of kite's body x + 18 - length of kite's tail x + x + 18 = 32 -> total length of kite plus its tail 2x + 18 = 32 2x = 14 x = 7 -> length of kite's body x + 18 = 25 -> length of kite's tail
How does the length of a kite's tail effect the way it flies?
A tail will steady a kite, help stop it from darting around. The longer the tail the more a kite will sit in one place.
A kite and its tail total 32 feet in length. The tail is 18 feet longer than the length of the kite's body. How long is the kite's tail?
25 feet
Can a rhombus be a kite?
With an adequate tail, a rhombus could be a kite.
What is the end of a kite called?
The end of a kite is called the tail.
Does the tail of kite affect its flight?
Yes - the tail adds stability. Without it - the kite would just spin. The tail makes the bottom of the kite slightly heavier so it flies vertically.
How does a tail of a kite affect the way it flies?
A longer tail on a kite helps stabilize and balance it in flight by acting as a counterbalance to the kite's pull. The tail also provides drag, which prevents the kite from spinning and helps control its direction. However, too much tail can make the kite fly slower and decrease its maneuverability.
What is the most important part in a kite and why?
Tail, it gives the kite a wait balance
