510 g squirrel with a surface area of 935 cm2 falls from a 4.8-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use the dr

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

The terminal velocity is $v_t =17.5 \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the squirrel is $m_s = 50\ g = \frac{50}{1000} = 0.05 \ kg$

The surface area is $A_s = 935 cm^2 = \frac{935}{10000} = 0.0935 \ m^2$

The height of fall is h =4.8 m

The length of the prism is $l = 23.2 = 0.232 \ m$

The width of the prism is $w = 11.6 = 0.116 \ m$

The terminal velocity is mathematically represented as

$v_t = \sqrt{\frac{2 * m_s * g }{\dho_s * C * A } }$

Where $\rho$ is the density of a rectangular prism with a constant values of $\rho = 1.21 \ kg/m^3$

$C$ is the drag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver with a value = 1

A is the area of the prism the squirrel is assumed to be which is mathematically represented as

$A = 0.116 * 0.232$

$A = 0.026912 \ m^2$

substituting values

$v_t = \sqrt{\frac{2 * 0.510 * 9.8 }{1.21 * 1 * 0.026912 } }$

$v_t =17.5 \ m/s$

A 8.34 × 103-kg lunar landing craft is about to touch down on the surface of the moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

21870.3156 N

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 1.6 m/s²

Equation of motion

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-18.2^2}{2\times 162}\\\Rightarrow a=-1.02234\ m/s^2$

The acceleration of the craft should be 1.02234 m/s²

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=8.34\times 10^3\times 1.02234\\\Rightarrow F=8526.3156\ N$

Weight of the craft

$W=mg\\\Rightarrow W=8.34\times 10^3\times 1.6\\\Rightarrow W=13344\ N$

Thrust

$F_t=F+W\\\Rightarrow F_t=8526.3156+13344\\\Rightarrow F_t=21870.3156\ N$

The thrust needed to reduce the velocity to zero at the instant when the craft touches the lunar surface is 21870.3156 N

There are a variety of waves from light waves to mechanical waves. Waves can exhibit different effects like the Doppler Effect.

All light waves behave in a similar manner. They either get transmitted, reflected, absorbed, refracted, polarized, diffracted, or scattered based off of the composition of the object and the wavelength of the light.

According to Wikipedia, “One important property of mechanical waves is that their amplitudes are measured in an unusual way, displacement divided by (reduced) wavelength. When this gets comparable to unity, significant nonlinear effects such as harmonic generation may occur, and, if large enough, may result in chaotic effects.” Mechanical waves are chaotic and its “amplitudes” are measured unusually.

Diffraction is when light bends around objects and spread after passing out through small openings. “Diffraction occurs with all waves, including sound waves, water waves, and electromagnetic waves such as light that the eye can see.”-Wikipedia. Here is the formula to Diffraction: d sin θ = nλ

Doppler effect can occur for any type of wave like sound or water waves. An example of this is when we hear a police car with its sirens on, coming towards us. The closer you are to the police car, the higher the wavelength, but the farther away you are, the lower the wavelength.
