Dandelion seeds have a plume made of thin
filaments that create a very large drag coefficient
due to subtle aerodynamics as the air moves
through and past the plume. The slower terminal
speed and longer time in the air provide greater
dispersal than would be possible for simple
spherical seeds. A 0.63 mg seed has a plume with
a cross-section area of 13 mm, and it falls with a
terminal speed of 40 cm/s.
A hockey puck with mass 0.163 kg is pushed across the ice with a constant force of 0.37 N. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice is 0.13.
After a distance of 1.3 m, what is the puck's speed in m/s?
A tennis ball is thrown at 25 m/s on a day when the wind speed is 0 m/s. What is the drag force acting on the tennis ball if the coefficient of drag is 0.4 and the reference area is 0.005 m2?
The density of air is 1.2 kg/m3.
