How significant is air resistance for projectile motion?

Physics
1 answer:
miv72 [106K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Air resistance have some significant role in projectile motion if the motion lasts for some time.

Explanation:

  • Air resistance or air drag seems to be important in daily actvities and games like baseball.
  • The trajectory of the projectile with or without air resistance or air drag is totally different.
  • When we neglect air drag, the only acting force is gravity against the motion so the maximum height and range are suppose Hmax and R.
  • Now, when we consider air drag, it is important to notice that there are two forces against the motion of the ball and along the direction of gravity. It seems that both maximum height and range are lesser Hmax'< Hmax and R'<R.

Two motorcycles travel along a straight road heading due north. At t = 0 motorcycle 1 is at x = 50.0 m and moves with a constant
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Vf = 23 m/s

Explanation:

First we need to find the distance covered by the motorcycle 2 when it passes motorcycle 1. Using the uniform speed equation for motorcycle 1:

s₁ = v₁t₁

where,

s₁ = distance covered by motorcycle 1 = ?

v₁ = speed of motorcycle 1 = 6.5 m/s

t₁ = time = 10 s

Therefore,

s₁ = (6.5 m/s)(10 s)

s₁ = 65 m

Now, for the distance covered by motorcycle 2 at the meeting point. Since, the motorcycle started 50 m ahead of motorcycle 2. Therefore,

s₂ = s₁ + 50 m

s₂ = 65 m + 50 m

s₂ = 115 m

Now, using second equation of motion for motorcycle 2:

s₂ = Vi t + (1/2)at²

where,

Vi = initial velocity of motorcycle 2 = 0 m/s

Therefore,

115 m = (0 m/s)(10 s) + (1/2)(a)(10 s)²

a = 230 m/100 s²

a = 2.3 m/s²

Now, using 1st equation of motion:

Vf = Vi + at

Vf = 0 m/s + (2.3 m/s²)(10 s)

<u>Vf = 23 m/s</u>

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

a.0.120mm

b.1.58s

c.0.6329Hz

Explanation:

a. Given that 0.120mm is displaced from equilibrium, 0.120mm after 0.790s on opposite side:

-The amplitude is the maximum displacement from equilibrium.

-The object goes from x=+A to x=-A and back during one cycle.

#Hence, the amplitude of the motion is 0.120mm

b.Motion from maximum positive displacement to maximum negative displacement takes places during half the period of Simple Harmonic Motion(SHM)

0.790s=T/2\\\\T=0.790s\times 2\\\\T=1.58s

#Hence, the period of the motion is 1.58s

c. Frequency is calculated as one divided by the period of the motion.

From b above we know that the motions period is 1.58s

Therefore:

<em>Frequency=1/period=1/1.58=0.6329Hz</em>

<em>#</em><em>The frequency of the motion is </em><em>0.6329Hz</em>

mylen [45]

Answer:

Near the black hole, The gravitational pull is so strong and the black hole has a lot of stress energy. This causes the clock to tick slower than usual and due to this , Time slows down to a great extent.
