A big rock falls from a height towards water below, and hits water at a speed of 12 m/s. Rock was at a height of 15 m before fal

ling and weighs 65 kg.
a) What was the average force of air resistance (e.g., friction) acting on the rock?
b) What is the force of friction underwater if the rock reaches a depth of 2.5 m before stopping and there is a buoyant force of 650 N [upward] acting on the rock once underwater.

The frictional force of air resistance is; 949N while the force of friction underwater is; 1859N.

<h3>What is the Frictional force of air resistance?</h3>

The frictional force on the action rock can be evaluated as follows;

F - W = ma

However, the acceleration of fall a can be evaluated as follows;

a = (12² -0²)/2× 15

a = 144/30 = 4.8m/s².

a) Hence, the air resistance, frictional force, F = (65×9.8) + (65 ×4.8)

F = 949N.

b) When reaches a depth of 2.5m, it follows that the acceleration is;

a = (0²-12²)/(2×2.5)

a = 144/5 = 28.8m/s².

On this note, the force balance is;

F + 650 = 65(9.8 + 28.8)

F = 2509 - 650

F = 1859N.

An alternating-current (AC) source supplies a sinusoidally varying voltage that can be described with the function v of t is equ
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

ω, the angular frequency of the source equals 377 rad/s

Explanation:

From the question, V(t) = V cosωt.

Now, ω = the angular frequency of the sinusoidal wave is given by

ω = 2πf where f = the frequency of the source = 60 Hz

So, the angular frequency of the source ,ω = 2π × the frequency of the source.

So, ω = 2πf

ω = 2π × 60 Hz

ω = 120π rad/s

ω = 376.99 rad/s

ω ≅ 377 rad/s

So, ω, the angular frequency of the source equals 377 rad/s

Which statement best explains the relationship between the electric force between two charged objects and the distance between t
spin [16.1K]
Unfortunately, the given statements are missing from the problem. However, we can still determine the relationship between the electric force between two objects and the distance between them. The formula for the electric force is given below:

F = (k*Q1*Q2)/d^2

k is a constant, while Q1 and Q2 are the respective charges of the objects. F is force, while d is distance.

As seen in the formula, we can see that the electric force F is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.
