In a pollution control experiment, minute solid particles (typical mass 1 × 10−13 slug) are dropped in air. The terminal speed of the particles is measured to be 0.2 ft/s. The drag of these particles is given by FD = kV, where V is the instantaneous particle speed. Find the value of the constant k. Find the time required to reach 99 percent of terminal speed.

- A = 4pi (r^2 )?arrow_forwardA pitot tube is used to measure the velocity of a boat moving through water of density 998kg/m3. The height of the column of water in the tube is 1m above the surface of the water and the tube is 0.5m below the water surface. What is the velocity of the boat?arrow_forwardExpress a speed of 20 nm/h (1 nautical mile = 6076 ft)in units of kilometers per minute.arrow_forward
- In the vertical jump, an athlete starts from a crouch and jumps upward as high as possible. Even the best athletes speed little more than 1.00 s in the air (their "hang time"). Treat the athlete as a particle and let their ymax be their maximum height above the floor. To explain why they seem to hang in the air, calculate the ratio of the time they are above ymax/2 to the time it takes them to go from the floor to that height. Ignore air resistance.arrow_forwardIf a ball is thrown into the air with a velocity of 52 ft/s, its height in feet t seconds later is given by y = 52t – 16t2. (a) Find the average velocity for the time period beginning when t = 2 and lasting for each of the following. (i) 0.5 seconds 70 X ft/s (ii) 0.1 seconds 69.5 X ft/s (iii) 0.05 seconds 68.5 ft/s (iv) 0.01 seconds 70 X ft/s (b) Estimate the instantaneous velocity when t = 2. 70 X ft/sarrow_forwardAn object is traveling in the air with a velocity of 29.3 m/s (South) when the object encounters a super strong and stretchy massless netting. This netting applies a constant force of 47.6 N (North) on the object which has a mass of 68.0 kg. After the netting has acted for a time of 23.7 s, what is the final velocity of the object? Ignore all effects of air resistance. Select one: 12.7 m/s (North) 45.9 m/s (North) 12.7 m/s (South) O d. 45.9 m/s (South) a. b. C.arrow_forward
- Review ConstantS In the vertical jump, an athlete starts from a crouch and jumps upward to reach as high as possible. Even the best athletes spend little more than 1.00 s in the air (their "hang time"). Treat the athlete as a particle and let ymax be his maximum height above the floor. Part A To explain why he seems to hang in the air, calculate the ratio of the time he is above ymax/2 (moving up from ymax /2 to ymax and then moving down to ymax/2) to the time it takes him to go from the floor to that height. Ignore air resistance. ΑΣφ. ?arrow_forwardI need help with this question please. thank youarrow_forwardIn order to test the flow over the surface of an airplane wing, a model is built to a scale of 1/17 and is tested in water. The airplane is designed to fly at 850 km/h. Take the temperature of both the air and the water to be 20°C. 850 km/h Part A What should the velocity of the model be in order to maintain the same Reynolds number? Express your answer in kilometers per hour to three significant figures. Hint 1. How to approach the problem Recall the expression for the Reynolds number through v, V and Land equate the numbers of the prototype and of the model.arrow_forward
