Why does air resistance affect the location of and objects trajectory?

Physics
1 answer:
mafiozo [28]2 years ago
3 0
<span>When air resistance acts, acceleration during a fall will be less than g because air resistance affects the motion of the falling objects by slowing it down. Air resistance depends on two important factors - the speed of the object and its surface area. Increasing the surface area of an object decreases its speed.</span>

A coffee filter of mass 1.2 grams dropped from a height of 1 m reaches the ground with a speed of 0.8 m/s. How much kinetic ener
iren [92.7K]

<u>Answer:</u> The energy gained by the air molecules is 0.011 J.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

Here, the potential energy of the coffee filter is getting converted into kinetic energy of the coffee filter and some energy is lost by it which is gained by the air molecules in the form of kinetic energy.

So, calculating the potential energy of coffee filter, we use the equation:

P = mgh

where,

m = mass of coffee filter = 1.2 g = 1.2\times 10^{-3}kg    (Conversion used: 1 kg = 1000 g)

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

h = height of coffee filter = 1 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

P=1.2\times 10^{-3}kg\times 9.8m/s^2\times 1m\\\\P=1.176\times 10^{-2}J

  • Calculating the kinetic energy of coffee filter, we use the equation:

E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where,

m = mass of coffee filter = 1.2 g = 1.2\times 10^{-3}kg

v = speed of coffee filter = 0.8 m/s

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.2\times 10^{-3}kg\times (0.8m/s)^2\\\\E=3.84\times 10^{-4}J

As, energy lost by coffee filter = energy gained by air molecules

So, energy lost by coffee filter = Potential energy - Kinetic energy

Energy lost by coffee filter = (1.176\times 10^{-2})-(3.84\times 10^{-4})=0.011J

Hence, the energy gained by the air molecules is 0.011 J.

This is the change in kinetic energy of a system in which a 16 kg object moving at 25 m/s slows to a velocity of 20 m/s
Dennis_Churaev [7]

The kinetic energy of an object is given by

KE = 0.5mv²

where m is the mass and v is the velocity.

To calculate the change in kinetic energy...

Initial KE:

KEi = 0.5mVi²

where Vi is the initial velocity.

Final KE:

KEf = 0.5mVf²

where Vf is the final velocity.

ΔKE = KEf - KEi

ΔKE = 0.5mVi² - 0.5mVf²

ΔKE = 0.5m(Vf²-Vi²)

Given values:

m = 16kg

Vi = 25m/s

Vf = 20m/s

Plug in the given values and solve for ΔKE:

ΔKE = 0.5×16×(20²-25²)

ΔKE = -1800J

A rectangular coil of 65 turns, dimensions 0.100 m by 0.200 m, and total resistance 10.0 ? rotates with angular speed 29.5 rad/s
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

N = 65

Area, A = 0.1 x 0.2 = 0.02 m^2

R = 10 ohm

ω = 29.5 rad/s

B = 1 T

(a) at t = 0

e = N x B x A x ω

e = 65 x 1 x 0.02 x 29.5

e = 38.35 V

(b) The maximum rate of change of magnetic flux is equal to the maximum value of induced emf.

Ф = 38.35 Wb/s

(c) e = NBAω Sinωt

e = 65 x 1 x 0.02 x 29.5 x Sin (29.5 x 0.05)

e = 38.174 V

(d) Maximum torque

τ = M B Sin 90

τ = N i A B

τ = N e A B / R

τ = 65 x 38.35 x 0.02 x 1 / 10

τ = 5 Nm
