Answer:

The drag force is increase by 2.9

Explanation:

The drag force on the car is:

$F_{drag} =\frac{1}{2} pCAv^{2}$

Where p is the density, A is the area of the car facing the air, C is the drag coefficient and v is the velocity. If k=(pCA)/2, then we have:

Fdrag=kv^2

For the speed 65 km/h:

Fdrag1=k(65^2)

For the speed 110 km/h

Fdrag2=k(110^2)

The ratio is:

Ratio=Fdrag2/Fdrag1=(k*65^2)/(k*110^2)=2.9

Una pelota de tenis de 100 g de masa lleva una rapidez de 20 m/s. Al ser golpeada por una raqueta, se mueve en sentido contrario

REY [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

El impulso aplicado a la pelota produce una variación en su momento lineal.

J = m (V -Vo)

Conviene elegir positivo el sentido de la velocidad final.

J = 0,100 kg [40 - (- 20)] m/s = 6 kg m/s

In a Rutherford scattering experiment a target nucleus has a diameter of 1.34×10-14 m. The incoming α particle has a mass of 6.6

Rasek [7]

Answer:

E = 2.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

Explanation:

given,

diameter = 1.33 x 10⁻¹⁴ m

mass = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

wavelength is equal to diameter

de broglie wavelength equal to diameter

$\lambda = \dfrac{h}{mv}$

$1.33 \times 10^{-14}= \dfrac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{6.64 \times 10^{-27}\times v}$

$v= \dfrac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{6.64 \times 10^{-27}\times 1.33 \times 10^{-14}}$

v = 7.5 x 10⁶ m/s

Kinetic energy is equal to

$E = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$E = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 6.64 \times 10^{-27}\times (7.5\times 10^6)^2$

E = 2.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

Two clouds collide and form another, more massive cloud. One cloud is stationary, while the other is traveling at 1 m/s. After t

sweet [91]

Answer: 3

Explanation:

Given

One cloud is traveling at rate of $u_2=1\ m/s$

combined velocity of the two is $v=0.25\ m/s$

Suppose the masses of the clouds be $m_1,m_2$

Conserving momentum

$\Rightarrow m_1u_1+m_2u_2=\left(m_1+m_2\right)v\\\text{Divide whole equation by }m_2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}u_1+u_2=\left(\dfrac{m_1}{m_2}+1\right)v\\\\\Rightarrow 0+1=0.25\dfrac{m_1}{m_2}+0.25\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}=\dfrac{0.75}{0.25}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}=3$
