Answer:

<em>The object with the twice the area of the other object, will have the larger drag coefficient.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The equation for drag force is given as

F_{D} = \frac{1}{2}pu^{2}  C_{D} A

where F_{D} IS the drag force on the object

p = density of the fluid through which the object moves

u = relative velocity of the object through the fluid

p = density of the fluid

C_{D} = coefficient of drag

A = area of the object

Note that C_{D} is a dimensionless coefficient related to the object's geometry and taking into account both skin friction and form drag. The most interesting things is that it is dependent on the linear dimension, which means that it will vary directly with the change in diameter of the fluid

The above equation can also be broken down as

F_{D} ∝ P_{D} A

where P_{D} is the pressure exerted by the fluid on the area A

Also note that P_{D} = \frac{1}{2}pu^{2}

which also clarifies that the drag force is approximately proportional to the abject's area.

<em>In this case, the object with the twice the area of the other object, will have the larger drag coefficient.</em>

Severus Snape knows that density of his powder is 3.00 g/cm3 . He also knows he needs 3.00 cm3 of this powder. What mass in gram
harina [27]

Answer:

He requires 1 gram of mass.

Explanation:

The density is defined as:

\rho = \frac{m}{V}  (1)

Where m is the mass and V is the volume.

Then, m can be isolated from equation 1 in order to determine the mass.

m = \rho \cdot V (2)

m = (3.00g/cm^{3})(3.00cm^{3})  

m = 1g  

Hence, he requires 1 gram of mass.

What is the meaningful of physics ​
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Physics is a branch of science. It is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines. The main goal of physics is to explain how things move in space and time and understand how the universe behaves. It studies matter, forces and their effects. The word physics comes from the Greek

emmainna [20.7K]
(5 mi/hr) x (1hr/60min) x (10min) = 5 x 10 / 60 = <em>5/6 mile</em>

(5/6 mile) x (1,760 yd/mile) = <em>1,466 and 2/3 yards</em>

In a crossing situation, which vessel is required to maintain its course and speed?
makvit [3.9K]

Both in the domestic and international guidelines tell that when two power-driven vessels are crossing so as to contain risk of collision, the vessel which has the other on her starboard side (the give-way vessel) must keep out of the way.

If you are the give-way vessel, it is your responsibility to avoid a collision. Normally, this means you must change speed or direction to cross behind the other vessel which is the stand-on vessel.

At evening, when you perceive a red light crossing right-to-left in front of you, you need to change your course. But if you perceive a green light crossing from left-to-right, you are the stand-on vessel, and should maintain course and speed.

The leading situations of collision risk are meeting head-on, overtaking, and crossing. When one of two vessels is to keep out of the way (give-way vessel), the other, the stand-on vessel, must uphold course and speed.
