0.495 m/s

Explanation

the formula for the terminal velocity is given by:

\begin{gathered} v=\sqrt[]{\frac{2mg}{\sigma AC}} \\ \text{where} \\  \end{gathered}

m is the mass

g is 9.81 m/s²

ρ is density

A is area

C is the drag coefficient

then

Step 1

Let's find the mass

\begin{gathered} \sigma=\frac{m}{v} \\ m=\sigma\cdot v \\ \text{mass}=(2\cdot10^3\frac{\operatorname{kg}}{m^3})\cdot(0.01m)^3 \\ \text{mass}=(2\cdot10^3\frac{\operatorname{kg}}{m^3})\cdot(1\cdot10^{-6}) \\ \text{mass}=2\cdot10^{-3}\operatorname{kg} \\ \text{mass}=0.002\text{ kg } \\ \text{Area}=(0.01\text{ m}\cdot0.01m)=0.0001m^2 \end{gathered}

now, replace

\begin{gathered} v=\sqrt[]{\frac{2mg}{\sigma AC}} \\ v=\sqrt[]{\frac{2(0.002kg)(9.81\text{ }\frac{m}{s^2})}{(2\cdot10^3\frac{\operatorname{kg}}{m^3})(0.0001m^2)0.8}} \\ v=\sqrt[]{\frac{0.03924\frac{\operatorname{kg}m}{s^2}}{0.16\frac{\operatorname{kg}}{m^{}}}} \\ v=\sqrt[]{0.2452\frac{m^2}{s^2}} \\ v=0.495\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

hence, the answer is 0.495 m/s

A reconnaissance plane flies 560 km away from its base at 602 m/s, then flies back to its base at 903 m/s.
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Approximately 722\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}.

Explanation:

The average speed of a vehicle is calculated as:

\displaystyle \text{average speed} = \frac{\text{total distance}}{\text{total time}}.

In this question, the total distance is 2 \times 560\; \rm km = 1120\; \rm km.

The unit of the speeds in this question is meters per second, while the unit of distance is kilometers. Convert the unit of distance to meters:

560 \; \rm km = 560 \times 10^{3} \; \rm m = 5.6 \times 10^{5}\; \rm m.

1120 \; \rm km = 1120 \times 10^{3} \; \rm m = 1.12 \times 10^{6}\; \rm m.

Time required for the first part of this trip:

\displaystyle \frac{5.60 \times 10^{5}\; \rm m}{602\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}} \approx 930\; \rm s.

Time required for the second part of this trip:

\displaystyle \frac{5.60 \times 10^{5}\; \rm m}{903\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}} \approx 620\; \rm s.

The time required for the entire trip would be approximately 930 + 620 = 1550\; \rm s.

Calculate the average speed of this plane:

\begin{aligned} \text{average speed} &= \frac{\text{total distance}}{\text{total time}} \\ &\approx \frac{1.12\times 10^{6}\; \rm m}{1550\; \rm s} \approx 722\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\end{aligned}.

If a force of 3000 N is applied to a large rock, but the rock does not move, how much work is done on the rock?
kkurt [141]

Answer:

No work was done.

W = 0

Explanation:

Work is said to be done whenever a force of one newton moves a body of one kilogram through a distance of one meter. Meaning the applied force has to move the body from a point of rest through certain distance.

Work = force × distance

So, in the case of this question, we only have the force been applied, but no distance was covered. Hence, no work was done.

W = 3000× 0 meter

W = 0

Why does metal feel cold
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Metal is cold because it is a good conductor. A conductor carries heat away from and object. Heat flows from your hand into the metal and then is conducted rapidly away into the bulk of the metal, leaving the metal surface and your skin surface relatively cool.

Explanation:

You are welcome.
