The Physics of Kites Kites are such interesting items. They are toys for many and learning tools for others. To really understand them, one must take into account some laws of Physics. Physics supplies the answer for exactly how a kite can fly and manuever in the air. It consists of two main laws: lift and drag. Think of a kite before it is launched into the air. The kite and the earth are pulling …showed first 75 words of 381 total…

Learning about them can help you to know what structures and forms are necessary for building a kite that flies well. Lift and drag really are a sum of a lot of laws and principles. Both lift and drag use other theories and formulas that are combined into one principle. Kites really are very interesting objects to study.
