14. Many competitive swimmers practice in loose-fitting, baggy swimsuits called drag suits. Which answers describe the the forces acting on a swimmer, wearing a drag suit differs from wearing a tight-fitting racing suit, and why practicing in a drag suit can make a swimmer stronger.(1 point)
Responses
a drag suit will have more drag in the water than a tight-fitting racing suit
a drag suit will have more drag in the water than a tight-fitting racing suit
swimmers wearing drag suits will need to work harder to achieve the same net force in the water as they would achieve while swimming in racing suits
swimmers wearing drag suits will need to work harder to achieve the same net force in the water as they would achieve while swimming in racing suits
by swimming harder in practice, they will become stronger swimmers, making them more competitive.
by swimming harder in practice, they will become stronger swimmers, making them more competitive.
All of the above
All of the above answers are correct.
A drag suit will have more drag in the water than a tight-fitting racing suit. This is because the extra fabric in a drag suit creates resistance, making it harder for the swimmer to move through the water.
Swimmers wearing drag suits will need to work harder to achieve the same net force in the water as they would achieve while swimming in racing suits. This is because the added drag from the drag suit creates more resistance, requiring the swimmer to exert more force to move forward.
By swimming harder in practice with a drag suit, the swimmer will become stronger. The increased resistance from the drag suit forces the swimmer to use more muscles and exert more effort, leading to increased muscle strength and endurance. This increased strength can make the swimmer more competitive in races.
