The drag force pushes opposite your motion as you ride a bicycle. If you double your speed, what happens to the drag force?

Answer: The drag force goes up by a factor of 4

Explanation:

The <u>Drag Force</u> equation is:

F_{D}=\frac{1}{2}C_{D}\rho A_{D}V^{2} (1)

Where:

F_{D} is the Drag Force

C_{D} is the Drag coefficient, which depends on the material

\rho is the density of the fluid where the bicycle is moving (<u>air in this case) </u>

A_{D} is the transversal area of the body or object

V the bicycle's velocity

Now, if we assume C_{D}, \rho and A_{D} do not change, we can rewrite (1) as:

F_{D}=C.V^{2} (2)

Where C groups all these coefficients.

So, if we have a new velocity V_{n} , which is the double of the former velocity:

V_{n}=2V (3)

Equation (2) is written as:

F_{D}=C.V_{n}^{2}=C.(2V)^{2}

F_{D}=4CV^{2} (4)

Comparing (2) and (4) we can conclude<u> the Drag force is four times greater when the speed is doubled.</u>

Teeth are an example of which type of simple machine? lever wedge inclined plane pulley
andreev551 [17]

Answer: Teeth is an example of a wedge.

Explanation :

the machines that make our work easier are called simple machines. Some machines can be compound because they are a combination of more than two simple machines. For example, stapler.

Teeth are an example of a wedge. It is a simple machine which consists of two inclined planes. It is used to split apart objects.  

The mechanical advantage of a wedge is more than 1.

So, the correct option is (b) " Wedge".

As the distance from a charged particle, "q", increases, what happens to the electric potential?
mr Goodwill [35]

As the distance from a charged particle, "q", increases, the electric potential decreases.

<h3>Electric potential between particles</h3>

The electric potential between particles is the work done in moving a unit charge from infinity to a certain point against the electrical resistance of the field.

V = Kq/r

where;

  • K is Coulomb's constant
  • q is the magnitude of the charge
  • r is the distance between the charges

Thus, from the formula above, as the distance from a charged particle, "q", increases, the electric potential decreases.
