We are asked to determine the velocity of a rain drop if it falls from 4 km.

To do that we will use the following formula:

2ah=v_f^2-v_0^2

Where:

\begin{gathered} a=\text{ acceleration} \\ h=\text{ height} \\ v_f,v_0=\text{ final and initial velocity} \end{gathered}

If we assume the initial velocity to be 0 we get:

2ah=v_f^2

The acceleration is the acceleration due to gravity:

2gh=v_f^2

Now, we take the square root to both sides:

\sqrt{2gh}=v_f

Now, we substitute the values:

\sqrt{2(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})(4000m)}=v_f

solving the operations:

280\frac{m}{s}=v

Therefore, the velocity without air drag is 280 m/s.

Part B. we are asked to determine the velocity if there is air drag. To do that we will use the following formula:

F_d=\frac{1}{2}C\rho_{air}Av^2

Where:

\begin{gathered} F_d=drag\text{ force} \\ C=\text{ constant} \\ \rho_{air}=\text{ density of air} \\ A=\text{ area} \\ v=\text{ velocity} \end{gathered}

We need to determine the drag force. To do that we will use the following free-body diagram:

Since the velocity that the raindrop reaches is the terminal velocity and its a constant velocity this means that the acceleration is zero and therefore the forces are balanced:

F_d=mg

Now, we determine the mass of the raindrop using the following formula:

m=\rho_{water}V

Where:

\begin{gathered} \rho_{water}=\text{ density of water} \\ V=\text{ volume} \end{gathered}

The volume is the volume of a sphere, therefore:

m=\rho_{water}(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3)

Since the diameter of the raindrop is 3 millimeters, the radius is 1.5 mm or 0.0015 meters. Substituting we get:

m=(0.98\times10^3\frac{kg}{m^3})(\frac{4}{3}\pi(0.0015m)^3)

Solving the operations:

m=1.39\times10^{-5}kg

Now, we substitute the values in the formula for the drag force:

F_d=(1.39\times10^{-5}kg)(9.8\frac{m}{s^2})

Solving the operations:

F_d=1.36\times10^{-4}N

Now, we substitute in the formula:

1.36\times10^{-4}N=\frac{1}{2}C\rho_{air}Av^2

Now, we solve for the velocity:

\frac{1.36\times10^{-4}N}{\frac{1}{2}C\rho_{air}A}=v^2

Now, we substitute the values. We will use the area of a circle:

\frac{1.36\times10^{-4}N}{\frac{1}{2}(0.45)(1.21\frac{kg}{m^3})(\pi r^2)}=v^2

Substituting the radius:

\frac{1.36\cdot10^{-4}N}{\frac{1}{2}(0.45)(1.21\frac{kg}{m^{3}})(\pi(0.0015m)^2)}=v^2

Solving the operations:

70.67\frac{m^2}{s^2}=v^2

Now, we take the square root to both sides:

\begin{gathered} \sqrt{70.67\frac{m^2}{s^2}}=v \\  \\ 8.4\frac{m}{s}=v \\  \end{gathered}

Therefore, the velocity is 8.4 m/s

Which is the most accurate description of the plasma state of matter? A. It has a fixed volume. B. Its shape is not fixed. C. It
anastassius [24]

Answer:

Its shape is not fixed

Explanation:

Plasma is sometimes a subset of gases, whereas it is also a state of matter.

These two states are different.

  No fixed shape for plasmas, no fixed volume.

Compared to solids and liquids plasmas are less dense.

 Atoms are used in the making of Plasma.

In plasma state ions are the positively charged nuclei

 

When they gain or lose electrons these atoms and molecules acquire a positive or negative electrical charge,  process is called ionization.

A cube of wood having an edge dimension of 20.0cm and a density of 650 kg /m³ floats on water. (b) What mass of lead should be p
schepotkina [342]

The mass added is "m" so the complete cube is submerged in the water is 2.8 kg.

<h3>What mass of lead should be placed on the cube?</h3>

Given: Side of the cube (a) = 20cm

The density of the cube (ρc) = $$650 kg/m^3

a) Applying the force balance, the buoyant force must be equal to the weight of the cube

ρcgV = ρg × (Ax)

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get

(650*(0.2 m)^3)=1000*(0.2 m)^2*x

x = 0.13

where x is the height of the cube in the water

$$A = a^2 is the area of the cross-section

ρ is the density of the water

V is the volume of the cube

Now, the height above the surface of the water would be

h = a − x

Substituting the values, then we get

h = 0.2 − 0.13

h = 0.07 m

b) The mass added is "m" so the complete cube is submerged in the water, therefore

ρcgV + mg = ρg × (V)

$(650*(0.2 m)^3)+m=1000*(0.2 m)^3

m = 2.8 kg

The mass added is "m" so the complete cube is submerged in the water is 2.8 kg.

a light beam that hits a mirror at an angle of 36°... what is the Angle of Incidence? Angle of Reflection?​
Kipish [7]

Angle of incidence is 36° and so is the reflection. Both angles are equal.

An astronaut goes to Mars to do some experiments. Explain why her mass stays the same but her weight changes.
Snowcat [4.5K]
Because mass does not change from place to place but weight does change from place to place... why? because weight is the amount of gravitational force on an object and mass is the amount of matter in an object. mars has less gravitational force so an object will weigh less than it really weighs there

What are possible formulas for impulse? Check all that apply. J = Fdeltat J = StartFraction force over change in time EndFractio
Alex

<u>The possible formulas for impulse are as follows:</u>

J = FΔt

J = mΔv

J = Δp

Answer: Option  A, E and F

<u>Explanation:</u>

The quantity which explains the consequences of a overall force acting on an object (moving force) is known as impulse. It is symbolised as J. When the average overall force acting on an object than such products are formed and in given duration than the start fraction force over change in time end fraction J = FΔt.

The impulse-momentum theorem explains that the variation in momentum of an object is same as the impulse applied to it: J = Δp J = mΔv if mass is constant J = m dv + v dm if mass changes. Logically, the impulse-momentum theorem is equivalent to Newton second laws of motion which is also called as force law.
