Suppose that air resistance cannot be ignored. For the position at which the person has jumped from the platform and the cord re

aches its maximum stretch length, how does the stretch length of the cord in the case with air resistance compare with the stretch length in the case in which air resistance is ignored? Briefly state your reasoning.

Answer:

The stretch cord stores potential energy as a result of stretching but due to kinetic energy, it will move back to its original state. Since air resistance is not being ignored in this case, it will experience a slight delay in stretching at first.

Explanation:

In case, where air resistance is being ignored the stretch cord will stretch as it normally does.              

  • Air resistance is a force that any object experiences as a result of its motion through the air.  

There are various factors that affect air resistance like speed, the density of air, area, the shape of an object etc. Meanwhile, the density of air changes with temperature or altitude. <em>Hence this force is not constant but is thought to be constant during short time frames.  </em>

julsineya [31]

Answer:

To decide where the balls land, we need to determine how long the balls are in the air. Both balls will take 2 seconds to hit the ground.

Explanation:

1) Time played forward : gravity & drag forces are in opposite directions so it takes a longer time to reach the ground. 2) Time played backward : gravity & drag forces are in the same direction so it takes a shorter time to reach the ground.

A tow truck drags a stalled car along a road. The chain makes an angle of 30???? with the road and the tension in the chain is 1
My name is Ann [436]

Answer: work = 1,305kJ

Explanation:

angle= 30°

force= 1,500N

distance= 1,000m

The formula for work is : Work= force x distance, however there is an angle of 30° between the direction of force applied and the direction of motion, therefore force must be decomposed to its value on the horizontal axis which is the direction of motion by using the cosine of the very angle.

W= F×cos(α)×D

W= 1,500×cos (30)×1,000

W= 1,305kJ ( kilojoules)

As the sun sets on horizon, its rays are____ by the ocean water
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Reflected

Explanation:

I do not have much context here, but reflection is what happens when the sun sets on the water. The rays hit the surface of the water and bounce off, known as refelction.

A ball is thrown vertically upward, which is the positive direction. A little later, it returns to its point of release. The bal
Aleks [24]

Answer:

The initial velocity of the ball is <u>39.2 m/s in the upward direction.</u>

Explanation:

Given:

Upward direction is positive. So, downward direction is negative.

Tota time the ball remains in air (t) = 8.0 s

Net displacement of the ball (S) = Final position - Initial position = 0 m

Acceleration of the ball is due to gravity. So, a=g=-9.8\ m/s^2(Acting down)

Now, let the initial velocity be 'u' m/s.

From Newton's equation of motion, we have:

S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

Plug in the given values and solve for 'u'. This gives,

0=8u-0.5\times 9.8\times 8^2\\\\8u=4.9\times 64\\\\u=\frac{4.9\times 64}{8}\\\\u=4.9\times 8=39.2\ m/s

Therefore, the initial velocity of the ball is 39.2 m/s in the upward direction.
