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

An experiment is designed to investigate the relation between the pressure and temperature in a tank that has a constant volume
viva [34]

Answer:

3rd order polynomial

Explanation:

Given that the increase in the order of the polynomial the error between the curve fit and measured data will decreases hence  :

The polynomial order that is best to use is the 3rd order polynomial, this is because using a 3rd order polynomial will produce a less variance and a low Bias

A 1050 W carbon-dioxide laser emits light with a wavelength of 10μm into a 3.0-mm-diameter laser beam. What force does the laser
avanturin [10]

The force exerted by the laser beam on a completely absorbing target is 3.5 \times 10^{-6} \ N.

The given parameters;

  • <em>power of the laser light, P = 1050 W</em>
  • <em>wavelength of the emitted light, λ = 10 μm </em>

The speed of the emitted laser light is given as;

v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

The force exerted by the laser beam on a completely absorbing target is calculated as follows;

P = Fv

F = \frac{P}{v} \\\\F = \frac{1050}{3\times 10^8} \\\\F = 3.5 \times 10^{-6} \ N

Thus, the force exerted by the laser beam on a completely absorbing target is 3.5 \times 10^{-6} \ N.

Answer:

very small solid particles called interstellar dust.

Explanation:

In the space between the stars there is gas and dust, which represent at least 20% of the mass of our galaxy. In the Milky Way it is considered that there is a gas density of approximately 0.2 to 0.5 atoms / cm3 in the surroundings of the Sun; with respect to the dust an average of 1 g / cm3 is estimated.

Gas is about atoms and molecules, mainly hydrogen; In order of abundance, helium, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen and iron follow. On the other hand, the dust is tiny particles, generally smaller than 10 microns; the dust does not shine and therefore it is only distinguished when it is projected on bright regions (nebulae or clusters).

Interstellar matter is mainly concentrated towards the plane of the galaxy, in the strip corresponding to the Milky Way; there you can see bright nebulas of diffuse character called nebulas. These nebulae are classified according to three types: (a) bright or emission nebulae, (b) reflection nebulae and (c) planetary nebulae.

Hydrogen appears both ionized and neutral; The bright nebulae are composed of ionized hydrogen and other ionized elements. Non-ionized (neutral) hydrogen is found in the spiral arms of the Milky Way and can be detected through radio waves.
