Drag, D = 1/2*Drag coefficient*density of air*velocity^2*Frontal area

Where,
Density of air ≈ 1.225 kg/m^3
Velocity = 55 mph = 24.5872 m/s
Drag coefficient = 0.21
Frontal area = 30 ft^2 = 2.78709 m^2

Substituting;
D = 0.5*0.21*1.225*24.5872^2*2.78709 = 216.72 N

An object initially at rest experiences an acceleration of 0.281 m/s2 to the South for a time of 5.44 seconds. It then increases
andre [41]

Answer:

12.0 meters

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a₁ = 0.281 m/s²

t₁ = 5.44 s

a₂ = 1.43 m/s²

t₂ = 2.42 s

Find: x

First, find the velocity reached at the end of the first acceleration.

v = at + v₀

v = (0.281 m/s²) (5.44 s) + 0 m/s

v = 1.53 m/s

Next, find the position reached at the end of the first acceleration.

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

x = 0 m + (0 m/s) (5.44 s) + ½ (0.281 m/s²) (5.44 s)²

x = 4.16 m

Finally, find the position reached at the end of the second acceleration.

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

x = 4.16 m + (1.53 m/s) (2.42 s) + ½ (1.43 m/s²) (2.42 s)²

x = 12.0 m

A box with a mass of 18 kg is pushed across the floor. It has coefficient of friction of 0.39. Calculate the force of friction i
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

68.8 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (m) of box = 18 Kg

Coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.39

Force of friction (F) =?

Next, we shall determine the normal force of the box. This is illustrated below:

Mass (m) of object = 18 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Normal force (N) =?

N = mg

N = 18 × 9.8

N = 176.4 N

Finally, we shall determine the force of friction experienced by the object. This is illustrated below:

Coefficient of friction (μ) = 0.39

Normal force (N) = 176.4 N

Force of friction (F) =?

F = μN

F = 0.39 × 176.4

F = 68.796 ≈ 68.8 N

Thus, the box experience a frictional force of 68.8 N.

When reaching a boundary between two media (1 and 2), an incident ray is partially reflected and partially refracted. The ray is
lukranit [14]

Answer:

The angle of incidence when the reflected ray is perpendicular to the incident ray = 45°

Explanation:

According to Snell's Law,

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

When the angle between the incident ray and reflected ray is 90°, the angle of incidence is θ₁ and the angle of reflection, θ₂ = 90° - θ₁ and the index of refraction in the Snell's Law for both media would be the same, n₁ = n₂ = n

n sin θ₁ = n sin (90° - θ₁)

Note that from trigonometric relations,

Sin (90° - θ₁) = cos θ₁

n sin θ₁ = n cos θ₁

(sin θ₁)/(cos θ₁) = 1

tan θ₁ = 1

θ₁ = arctan 1 = 45°

Hope this Helps!!!
