For most swimming animals,drag is proportional to the
A)square root of the buoyancy.
B)inverse of the mass-specific metabolic rate.
C)Reynolds number.
D)velocity squared.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Drag is proportional to the velocity squared for most swimming animals according to the equation of drag force, where drag force = (1/2) * (fluid density) * (velocity^2) * (cross-sectional area of the object) * (drag coefficient).
