what force pushes the card up
lift

how does the rigid edges help
by keeping the orientation straightish
What force pushes against the card
drag
what cause the lift
the uneven air pressures below and under the card
how does the thinness help
by making air flow easier around it lessening drag and helping lift
Which force brings the card down.
Weight
what are the 4 forces of aerodynamics
lift,thrust,drag and weight
how does the flat shape help
it helps to lessen drag
What thing may disrupt the throw that is not one of the four forces
Air Currents
what is Aerodynamics
Aerodynamics is the science and study or air and interactions between air and solid objects.
What way does the current world record hold Rick Smith Jr. throw a card.
