Help please :D
Let's say you do an experiment with a toy car with a sail.
The bigger the sail of the toy car is (which is being blown by a fan), the further the distance it will travel. But why? I thought the bigger the sail, the more air resistance and hence the shorter distance it will travel? Why is it longer instead?
