I need help with air resistance...

Physics
1 answer:
Ugo [173]3 years ago
3 0
Mar 4, 2004 #1 FabioTTT the formula: R = (.5)DpAv^2 is used to determine how much air resistance (resistive force) is being placed on the object. R is the Resistive force. D is some dimensionless empirical quantity called the drag coefficient p is the density of air A is the cross-sectional area of the object (surface area) v is velocity My question is, is the density of air some constant that should be already given to me? also, how would i go about finding the drag coefficient? I'm asking this because in physics we're doing a lab in wich we drop a cofee filter... and we record its time to reach a certain height (which im guessing is to be able to calulate for the terminal velocity). So in other words, I have all of these variables except for R, D, and p. Can anyone help me out? Phys.org - latest science and technology news stories on Phys.org

6. A lumberjack is standing on a log floating on a lake. She starts from rest, then runs along the log to the end, when she jump
scoray [572]

Answer:

a) -3.267 m/s

b) 2.227 m/s

Explanation:

As per the conservation of momentum

m1v1 + m2v2=0

m1= mass of log

m2 = mass of lumber jack

v1 = velocity of log

v2 = velocity of lumber jack

a) Velocity of first log

-\frac{70*7}{150} = -3.267 m/s

b) m1v1 + m2v2 = m3v3

Velocity of log

= \frac{70*7}{150+70} \\2.227

What is 16.558 m/s rounded to three significant figures?
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Option C. 16.6 m/s

Explanation:

To round this 16.558 m/s to 3sf, we need to count the number beginning from 1. When we get to the 3rd number( ie 5), we'll examine the fourth number(i.e 5)to see if it less than five or greater. If it less than five, then we'll discard it. But if it five or greater, we'll approximate it and add it to the 3rd number.

So.

16.558 m/s = 16.6m/s to 3sf
