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

Physics
1 answer:
timurjin [86]3 years ago
7 0

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>

Which types of electromagnetic wave travels through space the fastest?
viva [34]

Answer:

The electromagnetic wave that travels the fastest through space is gamma ray

Explanation:

Electromagnetic wave is a type of wave which does not require material medium for its propagation. Examples of electromagnetic waves according to increasing frequency of the waves are gamma ray, x-ray, ultra violet ray, infra red, visible light, micro wave and radio waves.

Frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to period of oscillation of the wave. The higher the frequency of a wave, the shorter the period of oscillation.  Gamma ray has the highest wave frequency in electromagnetic spectrum and shorter period of oscillation, thereby causing it to have the highest penetration power.

A student needs to prepare 100.0 mL of vitamin C solution according to the directions in Part 1 of the experiment. S/he weighs o
Rudiy27

Answer:

4.99 mg of vitamin C are in the beaker.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of vitamin = 0.0499 g

Molar mass = 176.124 g/mol

Weight of water = 100.0 ml

We need to calculate the mg of vitamin C in the beaker

We dissolve 0.0499 g vitamin C in water to from 100.0 ml solution.

100 ml solution contain 49.9 mg vitamin C

Now, we take 10 ml of this vitamin C solution in breaker

Since, 100 ml solution =49.9 mg vitamin C

Therefore,

10\ ml\ solution =\dfrac{10\times49.9}{100}

10\ ml\ solution =4.99\ mg

Hence, 4.99 mg of vitamin C are in the beaker.

A ball is launched vertically with an initial speed of y˙0= 50 m/s, and its acceleration is governed by y¨=-g-cDy˙2, where the a
stira [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

acceleration is given by

a=-g-c_Dv^2

where \ddot{y}=a

\dot{y}=v

Also acceleration is given by

a=v\frac{\mathrm{d} v}{\mathrm{d} s}

ds=\frac{v}{a}dv

\int ds=\int \frac{v}{-g-0.001v^2}dv

\Rightarrow Let -g-0.001v^2=t

-0.001\times 2vdv=dt

vdv=-\frac{dt}{0.002}

at\ v_0=50\ m/s,\ t=-g-0.001(50)^2

t=-g-2.5

at v=0,\ t=-g

\int_{0}^{s}ds=\int_{-g}^{-g-2.5}\frac{-dt}{0.002t}

\int_{0}^{s}ds=\int^{-g}_{-g-2.5}\frac{dt}{0.002t}

s=\frac{1}{0.002}lnt|_{-g}^{-g-2.5}

s=\frac{1}{0.002}\ln (\frac{g+2.5}{g})

s=113.608\ m

when air drag is neglected maximum height reached is

h=\frac{v_0^2}{2g}

h=\frac{50^2}{2\times 9.8}

h=127.55\ m

A 0.9 µF capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 10.0 V. The wires connecting the capacitor to the battery are then di
jeyben [28]

Answer:

3.6μF

Explanation:

The charge on the capacitor is defined by the formula

q = CV

because the charge will be conserved

q₁ = C₁V₂

q₂ = C₂V₂ where C₂ V₂ represent the charge on the newly connected capacitor  and the voltage drop across the two capacitor will be the same

q = q₁ + q₂ = C₁V₂ + C₂V₂

CV = CV₂ + C₂V₂

CV - CV₂ = C₂V₂

C ( V - V₂) = C₂V₂

C ( V/ V₂ - V₂ /V₂) = C₂

C₂ = 0.9 ( 10 /2) - 1) = 0.9( 5 - 1) = 3.6μF

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

the net toque is τ=8.03* 10⁻⁴ N*m

Explanation:

Assuming the disk has constant density ρ, the moment of inertia I of is

I = ∫r² dm

since m = ρ*V = ρπR² h , then dm= 2ρπh r dr

thus

I = ∫r²dm = ∫r²2ρπh r dr =2ρπh ∫r³ dr = 2ρπh (R⁴/4- 0⁴/4)= ρπhR⁴ /2= mR²/2

replacing values

I = mR²/2= 0.017 kg * (0.06 m)²/2 = 3.06 *10⁻⁵ kg*m²

from Newton's second law applied to rotational motion

τ= Iα , where τ=net torque and α= angular acceleration

since the angular velocity ω is related with the angular acceleration through

ω= ωo + α*t → α =(ω-ωo)/t =  (21 rad/s-0)/0.8 s = 26.25 rad/s²

therefore

τ= Iα= 3.06 *10⁻⁵ kg*m²*26.25 rad/s² = 8.03* 10⁻⁴ N*m
