(Serway 9th ed., 6-27) The mass of a sports car is 1200 kg. The shape of the body is such that the aerodynamic drag coefficient

is 0.250 and the frontal area is 2.20 m2. Ignoring all other sources of friction, calculate the initial acceleration the car has if it has been traveling at 100 km/hr and is now shifted into neutral and allowed to coast. (Ans. 0.212 m/s2, opposite the velocity vector)

Answer:

a = - 0.248 m/s²

Explanation:

Frictional drag force

F = ½ *(ρ* v² * A * α)

ρ = density of air  , ρ = 1.295 kg/m^3

α = drag coef , α = 0.250

v = 100 km/h x 1000m / 3600s

v =  27.77 m/s

A = 2.20m^2

So replacing numeric in the initial equation

F = ½ (1.295kg/m^3)(27.77m/s)²(2.30m^2)(0.26)

F = 298.6 N

Now knowing the force can find the acceleration

a = - F / m

a = - 298.6 N / 1200 kg

a = - 0.248 m/s²

Earth is about 150 million kilometers from the Sun, and the apparent brightness of the Sun in our sky is about 1300 watts/m2. Us
nalin [4]

Answer:

13 W/m^2

Explanation:

The apparent brightness follows an inverse square law, therefore we can write:

I \propto \frac{1}{r^2}

where I is the apparent brightness and r is the distance from the Sun.

We can also rewrite the law as

\frac{I_2}{I_1}=\frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2} (1)

where in this problem, we have:

I_1 = 1300 W/m^2 apparent brightness at a distance r_1, where

r_1 = 150 million km

We want to estimate the apparent brightness at r_2, where r_2 is ten times r_1, so

r_2 = 10 r_1

Re-arranging eq.(1), we find I_2:

I_2 = \frac{r_1^2}{r_2^2}I_1 = \frac{r_1^2}{(10r_1)^2}(1300)=\frac{1}{100}(1300)=13 W/m^2

How does a television have a negative effect on the environment
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Too much screen time can be a bad thing: Children who consistently spend more than 4 hours per day watching TV are more likely to be overweight. Kids who view violent acts on TV are more likely to show aggressive behavior, and to fear that the world is scary and that something bad will happen to them. When we considered the whole television chain of production, distribution and consumption, we found that the largest environmental impact associated with a television programme was not the energy consumed in making it, but the energy used by the millions of televisions, set-top boxes and other consumer devices involved

ahrayia [7]
The reaction of reduction always undergoes with the cathode, the positive ion will migrate towards the cathode with the negative charge whilst the anode always has oxidation reaction. These two types of reaction does not change.
