How does air resistance affect the acceleration of falling objects?

1 answer:

7 0

Air resistance opposes the motion of falling objects. Dense air prefers to stay at low heights. More dense the air is, more air resistance it produces. Hence acceleration of falling objects decreases. Hope this helps!

An air-filled capacitor consists of two parallel plates, each with an area of 7.60 cm2, separated by a distance of 1.50 mm. A 25

torisob [31]

Answer:

The electric field is 16666.66 V/m.

The surface charge density is $1.474\times10^{-7}\ C/m^2$

The capacitance is $4.484\times10^{-12}\ F$

The charge on each plate is $112.1\times10^{-12}\ C$

Explanation:

Given that,

Area =7.70 cm²

Distance = 1.50 mm

Potential difference = 25.0 V

Suppose we find the electric field between the plates, the surface charge density, the capacitance and the charge on each plates.

We need to calculate the electric field

Using formula of electric field

$E=\dfrac{V}{d}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{25.0}{1.50\times10^{-3}}$

$E=16666.66\ V/m$

We need to calculate the charge density

Using formula of charge density

$\sigma=E\times\epsilon_{0}$

Put the value into the formula

$\sigma=16666.66\times8.85\times10^{-12}$

$\sigma=1.474\times10^{-7}\ C/m^2$

We need to calculate the capacitance

Using formula of capacitance

$C=\dfrac{\epsilon_{0}A}{d}$

Put the value into the formula

$C=\dfrac{8.85\times10^{-12}\times7.60\times10^{-4}}{1.50\times10^{-3}}$

$C=4.484\times10^{-12}\ F$

We need to calculate the charge

Using formula of charge

$q=CV$

Put the value into the formula

$q=4.484\times10^{-12}\times25.0$

$q=112.1\times10^{-12}\ C$

Hence, The electric field is 16666.66 V/m.

The surface charge density is $1.474\times10^{-7}\ C/m^2$

The capacitance is $4.484\times10^{-12}\ F$

The charge on each plate is $112.1\times10^{-12}\ C$

Suppose you designed a spacecraft to work by photon pressure. The sail was a completely absorbing fabric of area 1.0 km2 and you

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

(a) F = 6.14 *10⁻⁴ N

(b) P = 6.14* 10⁻¹⁰ Pa

Explanation:

Area of sail A = 1.0 km² = 1.0 * 10⁶m²

Wavelength of light λ = 650 nm = 650 * 10⁻⁹ m

Rate of impact of photons R = 1 mol/s = 6.022 * 10²³ photons/s

(a)

Momentum of each photon is Ρ = h/λ = 6.625 * 10⁻³⁴ / 650 * 10⁻⁹

= 1.0192 * 10⁻²⁷ kg.m/s

Since the photons are absorbed completely, in every collision the above momentum is transferred to the sail.

Momentum transferred to the sail per second is product of rate of impact of photons and momentum transferred by each photon.

dp/dt = R * h/ λ

This is the force acting on the sail.

F = R * h/λ = 6.022 * 10²³ * 1.0192 * 10⁻²⁷ = 6.14 *10⁻⁴ N

F = 6.14 *10⁻⁴ N

Pressure exerted by the radiation on the sail = Force acting on the sail / Area of the sail

P = F/A = 6.14 * 10⁻⁴ / 1.0 * 10⁶ = 6.14* 10⁻¹⁰ Pa

P = 6.14* 10⁻¹⁰ Pa

Acceleration of spacecraft a = F/m = 6.14 * 10⁻⁴ /1.0 = 6.14 * 10⁻⁴m/s²

As the spacecraft starts from rest, initial speed u=0,m/s ,

final speed is u = 1.0 m/s after time t

v = u+at

t = 1.0 - 0/ 6.14 * 10⁻⁴ = 1629s = 27.2 min

t = 27.2 min

What is the distance between a 900 kg compact car and a 1600 kg pickup truck if the gravitational force between them is about 0.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The distance is 0.96m

Explanation:

Given

m1= 900kg

m2= 1600kg

Force F= 0.0001nN

G=6.67430*10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2

Required

The distance r

Step two:

the formula for the force is given as

F = Gm1m2/r2

Does magnets exert a force. explain

Ratling [72]

Answer:

Magnets exert forces and torques on each other due to the rules of electromagnetism. The forces of attraction field of magnets are due to microscopic currents of electrically charged electrons orbiting nuclei and the intrinsic magnetism of fundamental particles (such as electrons) that make up the material. Hope this helps you! :)
