Calculate the speed a spherical rain drop would achieve falling from 5.00 km (a) in the absence of air drag (b) with air drag. Take the size across of the drop to be 4 mm, the density to be 1.00103 kg/m3, and the surface area to be r2.
Why is it preferable for airplanes to take off into the wind rather than with the wind?
(a) Calculate the retarding force due to viscosity of the air layer between a cart and a level air track given the following information: air temperature is 20°C, the cart is moving at 0.400 m/s, surface area is 2.50102 m2, ad thickness of air layer is 6.00105 m. (b) What is the ration of this force to the weight of the 0.300-kg cart?
5. The barometer of a mountain hiker reads 14.7psi at the beginning of a hiking trip and 13.8psi at the end. Neglecting the effect of altitude on local gravitational acceleration, determine the vertical distance climbed. Assume an average air density of 1.20 kg/m^3. Draw also a figure or a free body diagram.
Billboards are large outdoor hoardings that are used by advertisers. However, their large surfaces at heights off the ground means they have to withstand strong winds during their useful life span. There is a need to model and analyze a billboard stand that must be capable of supporting a 5- meter x 2-meter billboard at a height of 4 meters above the ground. The billboard will have to withstand crosswinds with speeds up to 10 m/s. Please show calculations to acquire the correct intended results for an upvote...thanks.
In 2017 Hurricane Irma, a category 5 hurricanehad winds up to 180 mph. Hurricanes winds often riproofs off buildings due to the difference in atmosphericpressures. What would be the force acting on a roof (13 mx 9.9 m).
10. A woman bails out of an airplane at an altitude of 10,000 ft, falls freely for 20 s, then opens her parachute. How long will it take her to reach the ground? Assume linear air re- sistance pv ft/s², taking p = 0.15 without the parachute and p = 1.5 with the parachute. (Suggestion: First deter- mine her height above the ground and velocity when the parachute opens.)
Consider an airplane with a total wing surface of 100 square meters (m2). At a certain speed the difference in the air pressure below and above the wings is 5% of atmospheric pressure. What is the lift force on the airplane in units of kN (kilo Newtons)? kN Use 100 m2 100 kPa for the atmospheric pressure. %3D
.An airport has occasionally been closed to large planes because of weather conditions that do not entail storms or low visibility. Instead, the conditions combine to create an unusually low air density. Explain why such an air density would make it difficult for a large, heavy plane to take off, especially if the runway were not exceptionally long.

For the next 30 minutes that car moves with the constant speed of 45 mph. At this time the driver of the car applies the brake and the car decelerates to a full stop in 25 s. The variation of the speed of the car with time is shown in the accompanying diagram. Determine the total distance travelled by the car and the average speed of the car over this distance. 45 25 1825 1850 Time (s) Speed (mph)
