(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

Find the value of 15.0 N in pounds. Use the conversions 1slug=14.59kg and 1ft=0.3048m. Express your answer in pounds to three si
kotykmax [81]

Given the equivalent value to convert the units from kilograms to slug and feet to meters, we will proceed to define the equivalence of the 'Newton' in simplified units, that is,

1N=1kg\cdot m\cdot s^{-2}

Then,

15.0N=15.0kg\cdot m\cdot s^{-2}

Converting this value to British units we have that

15N = 15.0kg\cdot m\cdot s^{-2} (\frac{1slug}{14.59kg})(\frac{1ft}{0.3048m})

15N = 3.37 slug \cdot ft \cdot s^{-2} (\frac{1 lb \cdot ft^{-1}}{1slug})

15N =3.37lb

Therefore the value of 15.0 N in pounds is 3.37 lb.

A tennis racquet swung with an angular velocity of 12 rad/s strikes a motionless ball at a distance of 0.5 m from the axis of ro
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

The linear velocity of the racquet at the point of contact with the ball is 6 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

angular velocity of the  racquet, ω = 12 rad/s

distance of strike, r = 0.5 m

The linear velocity of the racquet at the point of contact is given by;

V = ωr

V = (12)(0.5)

V = 6 m/s

Therefore, linear velocity of the racquet at the point of contact with the ball is 6 m/s.
