A cube has a drag coefficient of 0.8. what would be the terminal velocity of a sugar cube 1 cm on a side in air (ρ = 1.2 kg/m3)?

take the density of sugar to be 1.6 x 103 kg/m3.

To answer this question, we should know the formula for the terminal velocity. The formula is written below:

v = √(2mg/ρAC)
where
m is the mass
g is 9.81 m/s²
ρ is density
A is area
C is the drag coefficient

Let's determine the mass, m, to be density*volume.
Volume = s³ = (1 cm*1 m/100 cm)³ = 10⁻⁶ m³
m = (1.6×10³ kg/m³)(10⁻⁶ m³) = 1.6×10⁻³ kg
A = (1 cm * 1 m/100 cm)² = 10⁻⁴ m²

v = √(2*1.6×10⁻³ kg*9.81 m/s²/1.6×10³ kg/m³*10⁻⁴ m²*0.8)
<em>v = 0.495 m/s</em>

A tin can has a volume of 1100 cm³ and a mass of 80 g. Approximately how many grams of lead shot can it carry without sinking in
Kruka [31]

Answer:

1020g

Explanation:

Volume of can=1100cm^3=1100\times 10^{-6}m^3

1cm^3=10^{-6}m^3

Mass of can=80g=\frac{80}{1000}=0.08kg

1Kg=1000g

Density of lead=11.4g/cm^3=11.4\times 10^{3}=11400kg/m^3

By using 1g/cm^3=10^3kg/m^3

We have to find the mass of lead which shot can it carry without sinking in water.

Before sinking the can  and lead inside it they are floating in the water.

Buoyancy force =F_b=Weight of can+weight of lead

\rho_wV_cg=m_cg+m_lg

Where \rho_w=10^3kg/m^3=Density of water

m_c=Mass of can

m_l=Mass of lead

V_c=Volume of can

Substitute the values then we get

1000\times 1100\times 10^{-6}=0.08+m_l

1.1-0.08=m_l

m_l=1.02 kg=1.02\times 1000=1020g

1 kg=1000g

Hence, 1020 grams of lead shot can it carry without sinking water.
