Compare the force of air resistance and the force of gravity on an object falling at its terminal velocity.

Physics
1 answer:
Sholpan [36]3 years ago
7 0
The viscous force on an object moving through air is proportional to its velocity.
The only forces acting on an object when falling are air resistance and its weight itself. The weight acts vertically downwards whereas air resistance acts vertically upward.
Let F be the viscous force due to air molecules, B be buoyant force due to air and W be the weight of falling object. Initially, the velocity of falling object and hence the viscous force F is zero and the object is accelerated due to force
(W-B). Because of the acceleration the velocity increases and accordingly the viscous force also increases. At a certain instant, the viscous force becomes equal to W-B. The net force then becomes zero and the object falls with constant velocity. This constant velocity is called terminal velocity.
Thus at terminal velocity, air resistance and force of gravity becomes equal.

Elina [12.6K]
<h2>Answer</h2>

The physical state of the elements depends upon the <u>attraction forces </u>and their <u>kinetic energy</u>.

<h2>Explanation</h2>

The elements or substances are fixed with each other with the help of different chemical forces including ionic bonding, covalent bonding, H- bonding etc. The strength of these forces is also one of the factors that affect their physical natures. For example, covalent or ionic bonds are the strongest bonds than all other bonds and metals that contain these forces are mostly in solid form. The kinetic motion of electrons in the element also affects the physical state of the element and potential of bonding.

If the given wave has a frequency of 100 Hz, what frequency will the sixth harmonic have?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

600Hz

Explanation:

In electrical systems of alternating current, the harmonics are, as in acoustics, frequencies multiples of the fundamental working frequency of the system and whose amplitude decreases as the multiple increases. For example, if we have systems fed by the 50 Hz network, harmonics of 100, 150, 200, etc. may appear.

In our case having a fundamental wave of 100Hz, I can have harmonics of 200,300,400, ..., 600Hz

A radio signal has a frequency of 1.023 x 108 HZ. If the speed of the signal in air is 2.997 x 108m/s, what is the wavelength of
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

2.93 m  (which agrees with answer "C" on the list)

Explanation:

Recall that the speed of the wave equals the product of the wave's length times its frequency. Therefore, the wavelength is going to be the quotient of the speed of the signal divided its frequency:

Wavelength = 2.997  10^8 / 1.023  10^8 =  2.93 m
