A geodesic dome is a spherical or partial - spherical shell structure or lattice shell based on a network of great circles on the surface of a sphere.
You need dome type of Formula to calculate this. The formula must relate drag and surface area. Assuming the surface area is at the face of the car, or not.
A perfect dome (1/2 of a sphere) has a surface area of 2piR2. This is because a sphere's surface area is 4piR2, and dividing that by 2 would simplify to 2piR2.
A dome is typically considered to have a single continuous curved surface that forms its lateral face. Unlike structures with multiple flat sides, a dome's lateral surface is seamless and encapsulates the space beneath it. Thus, it can be said to have one lateral face, characterized by its smooth, rounded shape.
It can be hemispheric or hemiparabolic. Often the spherical or parabolic nature is lost because straight segments replace curves - in the same way that a polygon with many side may replace a circle.

No a dome has a spherical form. It looks like half a circle
A Van de Graaff generator is an electrostatic generator which builds up an enormous positive charge on the outer surface of its principal dome. The negative of the circuit is provided by a smaller secondary dome or sphere. Since, it involves electrostatic charge the domes are kept spherical and smooth, as any unevenness or sharp edges would cause a drastic difference in the charge per unit area between the point of unevenness and the rest of the surface. At such high potentials this difference in charge per unit area can be harmful to the material of sphere, the circuit and the surroundings (as it may cause an enormous charge leakage leading to ionization of the surrounding air).
A monolithic dome is a curving, half-spherical structure supported indepedently of surrounding architecture. The former gives it a dome-like quality, and its free-standing nature designates it as 'monolithic'.
A hemisphere is half of a spherical or almost spherical shape for example a planet or the brain. A dome however is an architectural element having a circular plan and looks like a hollow upper half of a sphere, and constructed so as to exert an equal thrust in all directions.
I am looking for the formula to figure strength to weight ratio for a dome that I built for a project
Water formed a dome shape on the wax paper due to surface tension. Surface tension is caused by the water molecules sticking together, creating a kind of "skin" on the surface, which is why the water doesn't spread out flat. The dome shape is a result of the water molecules pulling inward evenly to minimize surface area.
Tricky. You need to flatten out the surface to work it out. Depends on the shape - if it's like a hemisphere then you can use the properties of a sphere - volume = 4/3 Pi R3 and surface area = 4 Pi R2 so if your dome is like half a sphere then its surface area = 2 Pi R2 and you can measure the radius R so can work it out!
The area of Arc Dome Wilderness is 465.388 square kilometers.
increased seismic activity in the area, swelling of the magma dome (in andesite volcanoes), increase in surface temperature.
