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

At what speed does a falling hailstone travel? Does the speed depend on the distance that the hailstone falls?
Anton [14]

Answer:The speed if hailstone dependly largely on its size. A hailstone with a diameter of 0.39 inches,falls wit a speed of 20mph while a hailstone with 3.1 inches in diameter falls at a speed of 110mph.

No speed does not depend on the distance that the hailstone falls.

Explanation: There are other factors that affect the speed of the falling hailstone apart from its size.They are:

1. Friction between the air and the hailstone

2. Wind condition( windy or moist air)

3. The rate at which it melts falling.

A circular swimming pool has a diameter of 12 m. The circular side of the pool is 3 m high, and the depth of the water is 2.5 m.
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Explanation:

Diameter of pool = 12 m

radius of pool, r = 6 m

Total height raised, h = 3 + 2.5 = 5.5 m

density of water, d = 1000 kg/m³

Mass of water, m = Volume of water x density

m = πr²h x d

m = 3.14 x 6 x 6 x 5.5 x 1000

m = 113040 kg

Work = m x g x h

W = 113040 x 9.8 x 5.5

W = 6092856 J

I NEED HELP ON 2 QUESTIONS PLEASEEE
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

2) c) give-way vessel

3) a) With one short blast

Explanation:

2) A vessel that is required to take early substantial action to ensure avoiding  collision called Give way vessel

In overtaking, the vessel intending to overtake is the Give-Way Vessel the vessel that is going to be overtaken is the Stand-On Vessel

Therefore, the correct option is c) give-way vessel

3) When vessels use sound signals in a meeting head on situation both vessel are Give-Way vessels and both vessel pass the each other by turning to the starboard side therefore they intend to pass each other on their port side requiring one short blast

Therefore, the correct option is a) With one short blast.
