Hang Gliding

Kellie Thompson

Human Participant Heat Energy Example The hang glider gives the wing energy by running By running the hang glider begins the activity The hang glider’s temperature will increase because of the physical activity.

Equipment Heat Energy Example 1 The most common way a wing gets energy is from columns of warm air known as thermals. This thermal is used to lift the wing and glider and maintain altitude.

The temperature of the wing decreases as it rises and increases as it descents.

Equipment Heat Energy Example 2

Once in the air, the wing gives the hang glider energy by moving her across the sky.

The hang gliders uses this energy to move. The temperature of the hang glider decreases as she glides because of the lower air temperatures at high altitudes.
