The terminal velocity as it falls through still air is 4.65154 in/s.

The diameter of small water droplet is 1.25 mil= 1.25×0.0254×10^-3 m

                                                                            = 3.175 × 10^-5 m

Now the viscosity of still air is η = 1.83× 10⁻⁵ Pa

 So the formula for drag force is:

                Fd = 6πηrv

  where,  v is the velocity.

Now to attain terminal velocity acceleration must be zero.

            →  W = Fd

                ρVg = 6πrηv

                ρ × 4/3 πr³×g = 6πrηv

                           v = 2/9 × ρgr³/ η

                           v =  2/9 × 10³×9.81×(3.175×10^-3) / 18.6×10^-6

                           v = 0.1181  m/s

                           v = 4.65154 in/s

Changing the ____ of the flow of electric current in a wire coil
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

C direction

Explanation:

Reversing the direction of the flow of electric current in a wire coil reverses an electromagnet's north and south poles.

Every time the north and south poles is exchanged, the direction of flow of electric current in a w ire reverses.

  • An electromagnet is a form of magnet in which the magnetic effect is produced by the movement of electric current in wire.
  • A coil of wire wound round and connected to an electric source will produce an electromagnet.
  • When we change the direction of flow of the current the polarity of the poles will also change.

A car traveling at 50 m/s uniformly accelerates to 60 m/s over an 58 second interval. What is the displacement?
yawa3891 [41]

Explanation:

here u = 50m/s

v = 60m/s

t = 58 s

then a = (60-50)/58 m/s2

= 0.17m/s2

now s= ut+1/2at2

so , 50×58+0.5×0.17×(58)^2 m

= 3185.94 m

= 3.18 km

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

reviewing the statement we can say that it is FALSE

Explanation:

The Doppler effect is the change in the perceived frequency of a sound wave by the RELATIVE MOTION of the source and the observer.

This effect is very useful for finding the speed of an object.
