This is because Newton refined Galileo's idea of inertia and created it as his first law of motion. Galileo stated that it was the propensity of things to resist changes in motion. Newton refined it by including: "Every thing continues in a condition of rest or uniform speed in a straight line except acted on by a nonzero net power".
Air resistance, also called drag, acts upon a falling body by slowing the body down to thr point where it stops accelerating, and it falls at a constant speed, known as the terminal volocity of a falling object. Air resistance depends on the cross sectional area of the object, which is why the effect of air resistance on a large flat surfaced object is much greater than on a small, streamlined object.
Answer:
The drag coefficient is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The density of air is 
The diameter of bottom part is 
The power trend-line equation is mathematically represented as
let assume that the velocity is 20 m/s
Then
The drag coefficient is mathematically represented as
Where
is the drag force
is the density of the fluid

A is the area which mathematically evaluated as
substituting values
Then
Answer:
The answer is "
"
Explanation:
The formula for velocity:
Answer:
a) P = 1240 lb/ft^2
b) P = 1040 lb/ft^2
c) P = 1270 lb/ft^2
Explanation:
Given:
- P_a = 2216.2 lb/ft^2
- β = 0.00357 R/ft
- g = 32.174 ft/s^2
- T_a = 518.7 R
- R = 1716 ft-lb / slug-R
- γ = 0.07647 lb/ft^3
- h = 14,110 ft
Find:
(a) Determine the pressure at this elevation using the standard atmosphere equation.
(b) Determine the pressure assuming the air has a constant specific weight of 0.07647 lb/ft3.
(c) Determine the pressure if the air is assumed to have a constant temperature of 59 oF.
Solution:
- The standard atmospheric equation is expressed as:
P = P_a* ( 1 - βh/T_a)^(g / R*β)
(g / R*β) = 32.174 / 1716*0.0035 = 5.252
P = 2116.2*(1 - 0.0035*14,110/518.7)^5.252
P = 1240 lb/ft^2
- The air density method which is expressed as:
P = P_a - γ*h
P = 2116.2 - 0.07647*14,110
P = 1040 lb/ft^2
- Using constant temperature ideal gas approximation:
P = P_a* e^ ( -g*h / R*T_a )
P = 2116.2* e^ ( -32.174*14110 / 1716*518.7 )
P = 1270 lb/ft^2
