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

A hammer exerts 49.8 N of force on the head (r=0.00510 m) of a nail. How much pressure does it exert on the nail?
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

609547.12 Pa ≈ 6.10×10^5 Pa

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question. This include the following:

Force (F) = 49.8 N

Radius (r) = 0.00510 m

Pressure (P) =..?

Step 2:

Determination of the area of the head of the nail.

The head of a nail is circular in nature. Therefore, the area is given by:

Area (A) = πr²

With the above formula we can obtain the area as follow:

Radius (r) = 0.00510 m

Area (A) =?

A = πr²

A = π x (0.00510)²

A = 8.17×10^-5 m²

Therefore the area of the head of the nail is 8.17×10^-5 m²

Step 3:

Determination of the pressure exerted by the hammer.

This is illustrated below:

Force (F) = 49.8 N

Area (A) = 8.17×10^-5 m²

Pressure (P) =..?

Pressure (P) = Force (F) /Area (A)

P = F/A

P = 49.8/8.17×10^-5

P = 609547.12 N/m²

Now, we shall convert 609547.12 N/m² to Pa.

1 N/m² = 1 Pa

Therefore, 609547.12 N/m² = 609547.12 Pa.

Therefore, the pressure exerted by the hammer on the nail is 609547.12 Pa or 6.10×10^5 Pa

A snowball picks up speed as it rolls down the mountain.<em> (D)</em>

Since the description includes acceleration ("picks up speed"), we know that the forces on the snowball must be unbalanced.

The astronomer who discovered the dwarf planet Eris suggests there might be another object far beyond the Kupier belt. If this P
PolarNik [594]

These objects would be classified as extreme trans Neptunian object (ETNO).

Explanation:

ETNO’s are the objects lying beyond the planet Neptune and orbiting the Sun. They follow a highly eccentric path which is tilted. ETNO has been grouped into three major according to their respective perihelia.  

Within this region (beyond Neptune’s orbit), a hypothetical planet has been discovered. It was discovered following its gravitational effect on the other objects of Kuiper Belt (region beyond the orbit of the Neptune- the last planet of our Solar system)

The Planet is assumed to be around 2 times the Earth’s size and around 10 times heavier than Earth.
