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>

dangina [55]
Send wave from your location to the object and wait until echo is back.
Measure the time taken.

If you know the speed of wave (say sound wave), than just multiply by half time taken wave to return

Thick rubber gloves prevent electric shock because​
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Rubber is an insulator.

Explanation:

Rubber is an insulator. Electricity will always travel "the path of least resistance." Rubber has a very high resistance, so electricity will go somewhere else to find ground.

What is a disadvantage of shared decision-making?
Snezhnost [94]
The disadvantages of shared decision making are:
Adopting a wrong advice from a member can lead to a big risk to the company and the business. 
Further, increased number of advice also confuses the person, about which to follow and which to ignore. 
There is also diffusion of responsibility and lowered efficiency.

A truck moves 30 km West, and then 40 km North, and then travels in a straight path back to its starting
SpyIntel [72]

Distance = (30+40+50) = 120 km

It's back where it started, so displacement = zero

A speed skater moving across frictionless ice at 8.4 m/s hits a 5.7 m -wide patch of rough ice. She slows steadily, then continu
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Acceleration, a=-2.48\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Initial speed of the skater, u = 8.4 m/s

Final speed of the skater, v = 6.5 m/s

It hits a 5.7 m wide patch of rough ice, s = 5.7 m

We need to find the acceleration on the rough ice. The third equation of motion gives the relationship between the speed and the distance covered. Mathematically, it is given by :

v^2-u^2=2as

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}

a=\dfrac{(6.5)^2-(8.4)^2}{2\times 5.7}

a=-2.48\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration on the rough ice -2.48\ m/s^2 and negative sign shows deceleration.
