will a person more aerodynamic go faster downhill than a person with more momentum?

Answer 1

depends on how steep and long is the downhill. Eventually the more aerodynamic person would catch and pass the one with momentum...probably.

Answer 2

ooh i have no idea, but this looks like more fun than the last one.
A person with more momentum would start off faster? but the person more aerodynamics although not starting off in front would eventually gain speed if given enough distance. As the person with more momentum would eventually slow down... unless... well..... are they skiing? LOL.. cos that would be interesting to watch, but they would have to have a down hill then a sharp up like a jump. if the were the same weight. whether the force they hit the "jump" at launched them further in the air...
Why dont you test it, you would have the same hill for both options. You could even just use one person.. to be all aerodynamic for one run and then use momentum.. just you would need to be able to record the speed... because they would not be travelling the same speed the whole way down that maybe they would both share the highest speed.. or are you trying to determine who would get to the bottom first.
So if i put one of the nephews in a go kart and push him down the hill... Will he go faster than if i wrap him in glad wrap and let him roll down?....

Answer 3

Assuming that the mass is the same or your using the same person for the two variables, Yes aerodynamics will make a difference.

Answer 4

no because the aerodynamic person would gain momentum whereas the non aerodynamic will only lose it.

Answer 5

That's hardly enough information to determine what you are really asking for. Please detail the specific dynamics of each person's motion.
