It is autumn. You look outside a window and see a maple leaf falling face down, in a straight vertical line. You estimate the speed of the leaf to be 25.77 cm/s. You then pick up the leaf and do measurements. It has a mass of 2.76 g and a cross sectional area of 76 square cm. You measure the density of air to be 1.298 kg m-³. What is the drag coefficient between the leaf and the air? (numerical value only) Number (Hint: For an object to fall with constant speed, it must be at 'terminal velocity'.)

Problem Like friction, drag force opposes the motion of a particle in a fluid; however, drag force depends on the particle's velocity. Find the expression for the particle's velocity v(x) as a function of position at any point x in a fluid whose drag force is expressed as Fdrag = kmv where k is a constant, m is the mass of the particle and v is its velocity. Assume that the particle is constrained to move in the x-axis only with an initial velocity vo- Solution: The net force along the x-axis is: ΣF-F = m then: mv = m Since acceleration is the first time derivative of velocity a = dv/dt, mv = m We can eliminate time dt by expressing, the velocity on the left side of the equation as v = dx/dt. Manipulating the variables and simplifying, we arrive at the following expression = -k "Isolating" the infinitesimal velocity dx and integrating with respect to dx, we arrive at the following: = vo - which shows that velocity decreases in a linear manner.
A student suggests that the force of air resistance FA depends on the relative speed of an object passing through the air v according to FA = kvN, where k is a constant with appropriate units that depends on properties of the air and the size and shape of the object and N is a dimensionless exponent. The student has a hollow ball made of two hemispherical shells that can be connected together and disconnected, along with access to other commonly available materials. Write an experimental procedure that the student could follow to make measurements in order to find the value of N, and explain how a graph of In(FA) vs. In(v) could be used to find the values of k and N.
A child is playing on a hill with a cardboard box. Thecombined mass of child and box is ? = 120 kg. He climbs into box, which is initially at rest, at the top ofthe hill. The hill is inclined at an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The coefficients ofstatic and kinetic friction between the box and the hill are ?? = 0.4 and ?? = 0.2.

A block of mass 20kg is pushed against a vertical wall by force P. The coefficient of friction between the surface and the block is 0.2. If theta = 30 degrees, what is the minimum magnitude of P to hold the block still?I understand that in order for the block to sit motionless, the net forces acting on the block must be zero. I set my equation to be Net Force = 0 = Psin(theta) + Force Friction - Force Gravity.Which I rearranged as P = (Force Gravity - Force Friction)/sin(theta) or P = (mg-μ(mg))/sin(theta)Doing this gives me a value of 313.6N rather than 202.9N which I should be getting. What am I doing wrong?
