(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

Determine the frequency of a sound wave if it has a speed of 350 m/s and a wavelength of 3.80 m.
Eva8 [605]
Since we have , v=f×lambda (wavelength). Where v equals 350m/s and wavelength equals 3.80. so it will become f = v/lambda=350/3.80=92.1052Hz

Review. An electron moves in a circular path perpendicular to a constant magnetic field of magnitude 1.00 mT . The angular momen
Ghella [55]

The speed of an electron when it moves in a circular path perpendicular to a constant magnetic field is 8.88 x 10^7 m/s.

The angular momentum(L) of an electron moving in a circular path is given by the formula,

L = mvr ........(i)

We know that the radius of the path of an electron in a magnetic field is

r = mv/qB

Putting this value in equation (i),

L = mv x mv/qB

or L = (mv)^2/qB

Putting the given values in the above equation,

4 x 10^-25 = (9.1x10^-31)^2 x v^2/ 1.6 x 10^-19 x 1 x 10^-3

v comes out to be 8.88 x 10^7 m/s.

Hence, the speed of an electron when it moves in a circular path perpendicular to a constant magnetic field is 8.88 x 10^7 m/s.

Sauron [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Scientific evidence takes note of the pattern of evolution. The evidence exists in a variety of categories, including direct observation of evolutionary change, the fossil record, homology, and biogeography.

Examples of the categories with their respective examples are:

Direct observation of evolutionary change: Development of drug resistant bacteria

Fossil record: Discovery of transitional forms of horses, Discovery of shells of extinct species

Homology: Similarities in mammalian forelimbs, Same genetic code in fireflies and tobacco plants, Vestigial pelvis in right whales

Biogeography: Similarity of endemic island species to nearby mainland species, The high concentration of marsupial species in Australia

Help quick physics area question
zlopas [31]

Answer: The area of brick in contact with the floor is 1539 cm^{3}.

Explanation:

Given: Length = 19 cm

Width = 9 cm

Height = 9 cm

As the brick is rectangular in shape. Hence, its area will be calculated as follows.

Area = length \times width  \times height

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

Area = length \times width  \times height\\= 19 cm \times 9 cm \times 9 cm\\= 1539 cm^{3}

Thus, we can conclude that area of brick in contact with the floor is 1539 cm^{3}.
