Landspeed volume weight Buoyancy

In summary, the conversation was about finding the necessary speed for a vehicle to stay above water and the difficulty of determining this due to various factors such as the shape and roughness of the hull. The conversation also mentioned a stunt rider who was able to ride a dirt bike on waves by adding fins for lift.

Finding the landspeed a object needs correlating with its area and weight in volume that a object needs to stay above water looking for the equation and plug in methods

I want to know how fast a vehicle needs to travel in order for it to stay above water.. I seen dirt bikes do it

That's an extremely difficult question to answer.

It depends on many details of the vehicle - not just its size and the parts that hit the water, but also how it moves (e.g. wheels, legs, something else).
For humans, this study is interesting. It doesn't work on Earth, but it should work on Moon.

There are a huge number of variable involved here. The most important one is the shape of the hull. Even given that, there are problems with the "roughness" of the hull. This is an extremely difficult, complicated problem.

Not for long! o0)

They see me driving - They hatin'.

Well, the bike had fins added to create more lift.
The first wave riding scene looks quite dangerous for all the others in the water.
 

FAQ: Landspeed volume weight Buoyancy

What is "landspeed volume weight buoyancy"?

"Landspeed volume weight buoyancy" is a term used in physics and engineering to describe the relationship between an object's size, weight, and the amount of fluid it displaces. It is often used to calculate the buoyant force acting on an object in a fluid, such as water or air.

How is buoyancy related to landspeed volume weight?

Buoyancy is directly related to landspeed volume weight because the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. This means that the larger an object's volume and the greater its weight, the more buoyant force it will experience.

What is the role of buoyancy in landspeed vehicles?

In landspeed vehicles, buoyancy plays a crucial role in determining the vehicle's stability and handling. By understanding the buoyant force acting on the vehicle, engineers can design the vehicle's shape and weight distribution to optimize its performance on land.

How does buoyancy affect the weight of an object in water?

In water, an object's weight will be reduced by the amount of buoyant force acting on it. This means that an object will feel lighter in water than it does in air, as the water exerts an upward force on the object due to its buoyancy.

Can buoyancy be used to make objects float?

Yes, buoyancy can be used to make objects float by ensuring that the buoyant force acting on the object is greater than its weight. This can be achieved by increasing the object's volume or decreasing its weight, which will result in a net upward force that allows the object to float on the surface of the fluid.
