← HistoryWhich outcome results when increased drag affects a Viking longship?
A)Reduced maneuverability, increased turning radius✓
B)Increased sail efficiency, greater speed
C)Improved stability, decreased rolling risk
D)Enhanced buoyancy, draft becomes shallower
💡 Explanation
Reduced maneuverability happens because increased drag causes increased Yaw Inertia. Because this happens, changes in direction become slower and require larger turning radii, rather than speed improvements since drag resists forward motion.
