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 car is a height of 1.6 meters and width of 2 meters. (the length is immaterial). The following is an actual excerpt from the manufacturers specifications:
Fuel capacity: 51 liters/ 13.5 US gal/ 11.2 gal
Drag coefficient 0.42 (at highway speed)
a) If I am driving at 100 km/hr through air what is the drag force on the car. Note this is the same as if the car were stationary in at 100 km/hr wind. Air density is 1.2 kg/m^3 viscosity is 0.018 cp

- In the attached Word file, a shape is on an x-y axis, beginning at x = 0. The bottom of the shape is 25 cm long and it reaches a height of 20 cm. The shape weights 450 g. The curved part of the shape is a parabola, i.e., it has the form y = ax2, where a is a constant to be determined. a) Determine the constant from the information given. b) If shape has a uniform density and a uniform width in the z-direction, find the x-component of the center-of-mass.arrow_forwardIt is found that when a particular object with a mass of 0.41 kg is released from rest while immersed within a certain substance, the coefficient of proportionality regarding the resistive force is 0.621 kg/s. What is the magnitude of the resistive force that acts on this mass 1.49 s after being released? Let the resistive force be given by R = -bv (Assume that the gravitational force also acts)arrow_forwardProblem 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.arrow_forward

Determine the acceleration of the object as a function of time. c. Determine the Net force acting on the object at t = 5s.arrow_forward
- Subject :- Physics An 80 kg hiker is trapped on a mountain ledge following a storm. A helicopter rescues the hiker by hovering above him and lowering a cable to him. The mass of the cable is 7 kg and its length is 20 m. A 72 kg chair is attached to the end of the cable. Once the hiker is attached to the chair, the helicopter accelerates upwards at 3.06 m.s-2. When the chair’s safety harness breaks, the terrified guy tries to signal the helicopter by sending transverse pulses up the cable. How long (seconds) does it take the first pulse to reach the helicopter?arrow_forwardIt 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?

(b) This derived equation has no real solutions for angles θ ≤ tan–1 (μ).
