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

Physics

timurjin [86]3 years ago

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>

A 4.5-kg object oscillates on a horizontal spring with an amplitude of 3.8 cm. Its maximum acceleration is 26 m/s2 . Find (a) th
zimovet [89]

Answer:

F = - K X     force constant for spring

a = F / m      maximum acceleration

F = 4.5 kg * 26 m/s^2 = 117 Newtons

(A)  K = 117 N / .038 m = 3079 N/m

ω = (K/M)^1/2 = (117/5)^1/2 = 4.84 / sec

(B) f = ω / 2 pi = 4.84 / 6.28 = .77 /sec

(C) P = 1 / f = 1/.77   = 1.30 sec

To summarize and analyze data with both a crosstabulation and charting, Excel typically pair
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

To summarize and analyze data with both a crosstabulation and charting, Excel typically pair  PivotCharts with PivotTables (option b)

Explanation:

Pivot Tables allows us to deal with a high volume of data. This kind of tables are mainly designed to summarize, analyze and explore data in a simple way. Meanwhile, Pivot Charts gives the possibility to visualize the summarizing data provided in PivotTables, enabling the detection of trends, correlations,comparisons and so on. Because of that Pivot tables and pivot charts are usefull and complementary tools of Excel.

Summarizing, the proper option is b.

You are performing a double slit experiment very similar to the one from DL by shining a laser on two nattow slits spaced 7.5 x
Blizzard [7]

Complete Question

You are performing a double slit experiment very similar to the one from DL by shining a laser on two nattow slits spaced 7.5 * 10^{-3} meters apart. However, by placing a piece of crystal in one of the slits, you are able to make it so that the rays of light that travel through the two slits are Ï out of phase with each other (that is to say, Ao,- ). If you observe that on a screen placed 4 meters from the two slits that the distance between the bright spot closest to center of the pattern is 1.5 cm, what is the wavelength of the laser?

Answer:

The  wavelength is  \lambda  =  56250 nm

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  distance of slit separation is  d =  7.5 *10^{-3} \  m

   The  distance of the screen is  D =  4 \  m

    The  distance between the bright spot closest to the center of the interference  is  k   = 1.5 \ cm = 0.015 \  m

   

Generally the width of the central  maximum fringe produced is mathematically represented as

        y  =  2 *  k  = \frac{ D  *  \lambda}{d}

  =>    2 *  0.015 =  \frac{ \lambda  *  4}{ 7.5 *10^{-3}}

   =>   \lambda  =  56250 *10^{-9} \ m

=>      \lambda  =  56250 nm

What happens when you change the number of electrons in an atom
aalyn [17]
<h2>Answer: It becomes an Ion </h2>

When an atom has gained or lost electrons (negative charge), it becomes an ion.

In this sense:

<h2>Ions are atoms that have <u>gained or lost</u> electrons in their electronic cortex. </h2><h2> </h2>

If a neutral atom <u>loses electrons</u>, it remains with an excess of positive charge and transforms into a positive ion or <u>cation</u>, whereas if a neutral atom <u>gains electrons</u>, it acquires an excess of negative charge and transforms into a negative ion or <u>anion</u>.

It is then how ions form bonds with other atoms differently depending on the number of electrons they have.
