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.

A 3-kg rock is thrown upward with a force of 200 N at a location where the local gravitational acceleration is 9.79 m/s2 . Deter
expeople1 [14]

Answer: 56.87m/s^{2}

Explanation:

If we make an analysis of the net force F_{net} of the rock that was thrown upwards, we will have the following:

F_{net}=F_{up}-W  (1)

Where:

F_{up}=200N is the force with which the rock was thrown

W is the weight of the rock

Being the weight the relation between the mass m=3kg of the rock and the acceleration due gravity g=9.79m/s^{2} :

W=m.g=(3kg)(9.79m/s^{2}) (2)

W=29.37 N (3)

Substituting (3) in (1):

F_{net}=200N-29.37 N  (4)

F_{net}=170.63 N  (5) This is the net Force on the rock

On the other hand, we know this force is equal to the multiplication of the mass with the acceleration, according to Newton's 2nd Law:

F_{net}=m.a  (6)

Finding the acceleration a:

a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}  (7)

a=\frac{170.63 N}{3kg} (8)

Finally:

a=56.87m/s^{2}

Finger [1]
1) metal
Even though metalloids are also conductors of heat and electricity, malleable they are not as good as metals.
Metals are very good conductors of electricity and heat. They are also very hard to touch. Noble gases and non metals are the exact opposite in physical and chemical properties. Metals readily react with oxygen.
