Answer:

v_{max}=52.38\frac{m}{s}

v_{100}=33.81

Explanation:

the maximum speed is reached when the drag force and the weight are at equilibrium, therefore:

\sum{F}=0=F_d-W

F_d=W

kv_{max}^2=m*g

v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{m*g}{k}} =\sqrt{\frac{70*9.8}{0.25}}=52.38\frac{m}{s}

To calculate the velocity after 100 meters, we can no longer assume equilibrium, therefore:

\sum{F}=ma=W-F_d

ma=W-F_d

ma=mg-kv_{100}^2

a=g-\frac{kv_{100}^2}{m} (1)

consider the next equation of motion:

a = \frac{(v_{x}-v_0)^2}{2x}

If assuming initial velocity=0:

a = \frac{v_{100}^2}{2x} (2)

joining (1) and (2):

\frac{v_{100}^2}{2x}=g-\frac{kv_{100}^2}{m}

\frac{v_{100}^2}{2x}+\frac{kv_{100}^2}{m}=g

v_{100}^2(\frac{1}{2x}+\frac{k}{m})=g

v_{100}^2=\frac{g}{(\frac{1}{2x}+\frac{k}{m})}

v_{100}=\sqrt{\frac{g}{(\frac{1}{2x}+\frac{k}{m})}} (3)

v_{100}=\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{(\frac{1}{2*100}+\frac{0.25}{70})}}

v_{100}=\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{(\frac{1}{200}+\frac{1}{280})}}

v_{100}=\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{(\frac{3}{350})}}

v_{100}=\sqrt{1,143.3}

v_{100}=33.81

To plot velocity as a function of distance, just plot equation (3).

To plot velocity as a function of time, you have to consider the next equation of motion:

v = v_0 +at

as stated before, the initial velocity is 0:

v =at (4)

joining (1) and (4) and reducing you will get:

\frac{kt}{m}v^2+v-gt=0

solving for v:

v=\frac{ \sqrt{1+\frac{4gk}{m}t^2}-1}{\frac{2kt}{m} }

B is the answer! Because no one would be pushing the rock all the way down the hill it would just go down by itself by rolling!!

The SI units for force are what?
arsen [322]

Answer:

The SI unit of force is Newton.

Explanation:

Newton is denoted by N.

Force can be defined as the pull or push which change or try to change the state of a body from motion to rest or rest to motion in a straight line.

The terminals of a battery are connected across two resistors in series. The resistances of the resistors are not the same. Whic
Vesna [10]

Answer:

(c) The current in each resistor is the same.

Explanation:

When two resistors are connected in series, we have the following:

- The resistors are connected such that the current passing through the two resistors is the same

- The voltage of the battery is equal to the sum of the voltage drops across each resistor

- the equivalent resistance of the circuit is equal to the sum of the individual resistances:

R = R1 + R2

So, let's analyze each statement:

(a) The resistor with the smaller resistance carries more current than the other resistor. --> FALSE. The current through the two resistors is the same.

(b) The resistor with the larger resistance carries less current than the other resistor. --> FALSE. The current through the two resistors is the same.

(c) The current in each resistor is the same. --> TRUE.

(d) The potential difference across each resistor is the same. --> FALSE: the potential difference across each resistor is given by

V=RI

where I (the current) is the same for both resistors, while R (the resistance) is not, so V is also different for the two resistors.

(e) The potential difference is greatest across the resistor closest to the positive terminal --> FALSE. According to

V=RI

the potential difference depends only on the value of the resistance, so it doesn't matter which resistor is connected to the positive terminal.
