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

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.

A potential difference of 1.20 V will be applied to a 33.0 m length of 18-gauge copper wire (diameter = 0.0400 in.). Calculate (
Nostrana [21]

Answer:A) Current = 1.739A, B)current density, J = 2.147x10^6 A/m2

magnitude of electric field , E =  0.036 N/C

)rate of thermal energy, P  =2.086W

Explanation:

Resistance  = R =   ρL/A

But the cross-section area of the wire. is given as

Diameter / 2 = 0.04/2 =0.02in to m = 0.02 / 39.37= 0.000508

A = πr^2 = π x  0.000508^2 = 8.10 x 10^-7

since resistivity of copper,ρ= 17x10-9 ohm.m

so resistance is   R =   ρL/A

17x10-9  x 33 / 8.1x10-7

= 0.69 ohm.

A) Current =    I = Voltage /Resistance =1.20/0.69 =1.739A

B)current density, J = Current /Area

= 1.739/8.1x10-7

= 2.147x10^6 A/m2

c)magnitude of electric field , E =  Current density x resistivity =J ρ

E = 2.147 x 10^6  x 17  x 10^-9

E = 0.036 N/C

D)rate of thermal energy, P  = I² R =1.739² X 0.69

=2.086W
