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>

ale4655 [162]

Answer: This is because water has a higher Specific Heat Capacity than air.

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of an object measures how much heat will be required to change its temperature.

Water has a higher specific heat capacity than air, so the temperature of the water will remain fairly constant even though the air surrounding the water is experience temperature changes.

Since air has a lower Specific Heat Capacity than water, heat from the sun will readily heat it up in comparison to water.

A car is making a 60 mi trip. It travels the first half of the total distance 30.0 mi at 8.00 mph and the last half of the total
Alja [10]

Answer:

total time =4.583 hour

Explanation:

We have given total distance = 60 mi

It is given that half of the distance traveled by a speed of 8 mph

We know that time\ t=\frac{distance }{speed}=\frac{30}{8}=3.75hour

And second half of the distance traveled by a speed of 36 mph

So time t=\frac{distance }{speed}=\frac{30}{36}=0.833hour

So total time = 3.75 + 0.833 =4.583 hour

If there is a gravitational force between all objects, why do we not feel or observe it?

We do not feel the gravitational forces from objects other than the Earth because they are weak.

Difference between work done against gravity and friction​
mario62 [17]
Mark Brainliest please


Friction is a nonconservative force. Therefore work done against friction cannot be stored as potential energy and later converted back to kinetic the way work against gravity can.

Gravity always pulls objects such as a desk, book or person down. Thus, when you jump, gravity causes you to land on the ground. Friction, however, doesn't pull objects down. ... Instead friction occurs when something like a machine or individual pulls a sliding object in the opposite direction of another object.


Friction and gravity exist in every aspect of a person’s life. For example, almost every movement you make, such as walking and running, involves friction. When you throw a ball up, gravity causes the ball to fall down. A person sliding a book across a table creates friction. Nevertheless, differences between gravity and friction also exist. Force affects gravity and friction in different ways.
