How does air resistance affect the velocity of a falling object?

A falling object (directly downward) is slowed down by air resistance. In turn it would take longer to fall.

How many components do vectors have, and what are they?
zepelin [54]

Answer:

There are two components for a two-dimensional coordinate system/vector.

Explanation:

For two-dimensional vectors, such as velocity, acceleraton, etc, there are two components, the x- and y-components.

These components could be rotated or translated, depending on the coordinate system.

Instead of rectangular cartesian system, the components could also be in the form of polar coordinates, such as radius and theta (angle).

For three-dimensional vectors, such as velocity in space, there are three components, in various coordinate systems.

Roger the turtle moved 450 m in 2 hours the first day and the next day he moved in a straight line at a steady speed of 15 cm/s
Sonja [21]

Answer:

a). Roger travel total a distance of 2070m

b). The average speed of the whole tip V_{p}0.16025\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

V= \frac{x}{t} = \frac{450m}{2 hr} * \frac{1 hr}{3600 s}  = \frac{450m}{7200 s}\\ V= \frac{450m}{7200s} =0.125 \\V= 0.0625 \frac{m}{s} \\

a).

First trip 450m

Second trip :

V=\frac{x}{t} \\x=V*t \\x= 15 \frac{cm}{s} *3 hr\\x= 15 (\frac{cm}{s}*\frac{1m}{100 cm}) * 3 hr (\frac{3600s}{1hr})\\  x=0.15 \frac{m}{s}  * 3600s\\x= 1620 m

So final distance is

450m+1620m=2070m

b).

V_{p} = \frac{0.15 \frac{m}{s}+0.0625 \frac{m}{s} }{2} =0.10625 \frac{m}{s}

The average speed is V_{p}0.10625 \frac{m}{s}

A 40 kg skier starts at the top of a 12-meter high slope at the bottom she is traveling 10 m/s how much energy does she lose fri
Iteru [2.4K]
Potential energy at top:
PE = mgh
PE = 40 x 9.81 x 12
P.E = 4,708.8 J

Kinetic energy at bottom:
KE = 1/2 mv²
KE = 1/2 x 40 x 10²
K.E = 2,000 J

P.E = K.E + Frictional losses
Frictional losses = 4708 - 2000
Frictional losses = 2708 J

The answer is D.

Explain the following observation referring to the appropriate process of heat transfer in each case
tigry1 [53]
If the two cups are the same/equal in all regards the spoon makes the difference in heat loss. Metal spoon is a good conductor, heat conducts up the spoon handle. Radiant and convection losses occur in the surrounding air. Metal becomes a “heat sink”.

Spoon will feel warmer to the touch than a pottery or foam cup that is not a good conductor.
