Answer:

Therefore the resistance of the air makes the movement not parabolic but shorter in each direction

Explanation:

The projectile motion is described by the kinematics equations giving a parabolic trajectory, where on the x axis there is no acceleration and on the y axis the acceleration is the acceleration of gravity.

When the air resistance is taken into account it can be approximated as a force that opposes the movement that for low speeds is proportional to the speed of the space.

Consequently, the movement in the axis and the acceleration is less, in some cases it can be so small that the constant handle speed, in this case, is called terminal velocity.

On the x-axis the friction force creates an acceleration in the negative direction of the movement that the projectile has to brake.

Therefore the resistance of the air makes the movement not parabolic but shorter in each direction.

As Rene Descartes - french mathematician of Cartesian graphs - said "Cogito ergo sum". I think, therefore I am.
This can be adapted to I think therefore I am, I think ... as a "geeky joke".

A migrating robin flies due north with a speed of 12 m/s relative to the air. The air moves due east with a speed of 6.3 m/s rel

Sonja [21]

consider east-west direction along X-axis and north-south direction along Y-axis

$V_{ra}$ = velocity of migrating robin relative to air = 12 j m/s

(where "j" is unit vector in Y-direction)

$V_{ag}$ = velocity of air relative to ground = 6.3 i m/s

(where "i" is unit vector in X-direction)

$V_{rg}$ = velocity of migrating robin relative to ground = ?

using the equation

$V_{rg}$ = $V_{ra}$ + $V_{ag}$

$V_{rg}$ = 12 j + 6.3 i

$V_{rg}$ = 6.3 i + 12 j

magnitude : sqrt((6.3)² + (12)²) = 13.6 m/s

direction : tan⁻¹(12/6.3) = 62.3 deg north of east

It will be traveling in the reverse direction it was originally going at 15.2 m/s

A glass window 0.33 cm thick measures 87 cm by 36 cm. How much heat flows through this window per minute if the inside and outsi

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

6.38 x 10^4 J

Explanation:

d = 0.33 cm = 0.33 x 10^-2 m, Area = 87 x 36 cm^2 = 0.87 x 0.36 m^2

ΔT = 14 degree C, t = 1 min = 60 second

K = 0.8 W / m K

Heat = K A ΔT t / d

H = 0.8 x 0.87 x 0.36 x 14 x 60 / (0.33 x 10^-2)

H = 6.38 x 10^4 J
