Air resistance is a type of friction.

TEA [102]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In fluid dynamics, drag (sometimes called air resistance, a type of friction, or fluid resistance, another type of friction or fluid friction) is a force acting opposite to the relative motion of any object moving with respect to a surrounding fluid.

A 1130-kg car is held in place by a light cable on a smooth (frictionless) ramp. The cable makes an angle of 31.0° above the sur
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

T = 5163.89 N

Explanation:

Newton's first law:

∑F =0 Formula (1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

We define the x-axis in the direction parallel to the movement of the car on the ramp and the y-axis in the direction perpendicular to it.

Forces acting on the car

W: Weight of the car : In vertical direction

FN : Normal force : perpendicular to the ramp

T :Tension force:  at angle of 31.0° above the surface of the ramp

Calculated of the Weight  of the car (W)

W = m*g   m: mass   g:acceleration due to gravity

W =   1130-kg* 9.8 m/s² = 11074 N

x-y weight components

Wx =  11074 N*sin 25.0° = 4680.07 N

Wy = 11074 N*cos 25.0° = 10036.45 N

x-y Tension components

Tx = T*cos 25.0°

Ty = T*sin 25.0°

Newton's first law:

∑Fx =0 Formula (1)

Tx-Wx = 0

T*cos 25.0° - 4680.07 = 0

T*cos 25.0° = 4680.07

T =  4680.07 / cos 25.0°

T = 5163.89 N

A fighter plane is flying overhead at mach 1.20. What angle does the wave front of the shock wave produced make relative to the
Sever21 [200]

Answer: 56.44°

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Let u represent the current speed of the plane, <u>1.2 Mach</u>

<em>Converting to SI Units (m/s):</em>

= (1.2 mach)(340 ms^-1 / 1 Mach)

u  = 408 m/s

  • Speed of sound in air, v = 340 m/s

<u>Find:</u>

  • Angle the wave front of the shock wave relative to the plane's direction of motion, θ

We have, sinθ = speed of sound / speed of object

               sinθ = v / u

                   θ = sin^-1 (v / u)  

                      = sin^-1 (340 / 408)

                   θ = 56.44°

A 1369.4 kg car is traveling at 28.9 m/s when the driver takes his foot off the gas pedal. It takes 5.1 s for the car to slow do
Darya [45]

Answer:

F = 2389.603 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass m = 1,369.4 kg

Initial velocity u = 28.9 m/s

Final velocity v = 20 m/s

Time t = 5.1 s

Find:

Net force

Computation:

a = (v - u)/t

a = (20 - 28.9)/5.1

a = -1.745 m/s²

F = ma

F = (1369.4)(1.745)

F = 2389.603 N

Sort the items based on whether they are simple machines or compound machines.
Tom [10]

Answer:

Simple machine: pair of tongs, seesaw and wheelbarrow

Compound machine: sewing machine, fishing rod and reel and crane.

Explanation:

Simple machine is the simplest device to use mechanical advantages. It has simplest mechanism to multiply the magnitude of force.

So, pair of tongs, seesaw and wheelbarrow are the example of simple machine because their mechanism is simplest.

Compound machine is a device that is made up of more than one simple machine.

so, sewing machine, fishing rod and reel and crane are example of compound machine because these devices shows more than one machine in it.

Thus, classification is as follows:

Simple machine: pair of tongs, seesaw and wheelbarrow

Compound machine: sewing machine, fishing rod and reel and crane.
