Describe a ways car manufacturers try to reduce drag and why.

Physics
1 answer:
expeople1 [14]4 years ago
7 0
Aerodynamic drag can be reduced by altering the density of the air and the vehicle speed, but these factors are not easily controlled. Instead, to reduce drag, car manufacturers can make the height and width of the front of the car smaller. ... This shape reduces drag and the forces that try to propel the car backwards

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Acceleration, a = -2.4 m/s^2

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Sum of forces = 0

Fr + F = 0

Fr = µsl × m × g

Since, Fn = m × g

m × a = (- µsl × mg)

µsl = -a/g

= 2.4/9.8

= 0.245

The Sears Tower vibrates back and forth, it makes about 8.6
Leni [432]

Answer: Frequency is 0.143 Hz; Period is 7 seconds

Explanation:

Number of vibrations = 8.6

Time required = 60 seconds

Period (T) = ?

Frequency of the vibrations (F) = ?

A) Recall that frequency is the number of vibrations that the Sears tower completes in one second.

i.e Frequency = (Number of vibrations / time taken)

F = 8.6/60 = 0.143Hz

B) Period, T is inversely proportional to frequency. i.e Period = 1/Frequency

T = 1/0.143Hz

T = 7 seconds

Thus, the frequency and period of the vibrations of the Sears Tower are 0.143 Hz

and 7 seconds respectively.

Compare and contrast the three <br> classes of levers.
Xelga [282]
<em>Class I .</em> . .
The fulcrum is between the effort and the load.
The mechanical advantage may be any positive number, more or less than ' 1 '.

<em>Class II .</em> . .
The load is between the fulcrum and the effort.
The mechanical advantage is always greater than ' 1 '.

<em>Class III .</em> . .
The effort is between the fulcrum and the load.
The mechanical advantage is always less than ' 1 '.
