What is air resistance?

Physics
2 answers:
mr Goodwill [35]3 years ago

Air resistance is the pushing of air against an object that is moving. Both the air and the object rub together and this slows the down the object and making it use more energy to reach a required speed. If an object moves faster, the greater the air resistance it encounters.

Basically, the "push back" of the air against the object moving forward.  It acts similar to friction, except the resistance is based on the shape of the object instead of the interaction of the object and the ground

how many times does the kinectic energy of a car increase when traveling 60 mph as opposed to traveling 30 mph
Bumek [7]
The car at 60 kph has 9 times more kinetic energy than the car traveling at 20 kph. This assumes that both cars have the same mass. Kinetic energy depends on the square of thee speed so if one car is going 3 times faster, its kinetic energy will be 3^2 ( = 9 ) greater. The car going at 60 kph will have 4 times the KE of the car going at 30 kph ( again assuming that the cars have the same mass.)

An electromagnet is a device in which moving electric charges (current) in a coil of wire create a magnet. What’s one advantage
docker41 [41]
Electromagnets have certain advantages over permanent magnets. One of the major advantage is, the amount of electric current can easily be controlled, in turn, magnetic field can be controlled. Out of all the options, option D would be the best answer.

In short, Your Answer would be option D) Electromagnets can easily be turned on and off.

Hope this helps!

1. A wave has a wavelength of 5 m and a frequency of 2 Hz. At what speed/velocity does the
yuradex [85]

Answer:

1.10m/s

2.0.1m

3.5Hz

Explanation:

v=velocity, f=frequency and T=wavelength

1.v=ft

v=2x5

=10m

2.v=ft

100=1000T

divide both sides by 1000

T=0.1m

3.v=fT

25=5f

divide both sides by 5

f=5Hz

A nature photographer is using a camera that has a lens with a focal length of 3.06 cm. The photographer is taking pictures of a
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

film is at distance of 3.07 cm from lens

Explanation:

Given data

focal length = 3.06 cm

distance = 10.4 m = 1040 cm

to find out

How far must the lens

solution

we apply here lens formula that is

1/f = 1/p + 1/q

here f = 3.06 and p = 1040 so we find q

1/f = 1/p + 1/q

1/3.06 = 1/1040 + 1/q

1/ q =  0.3258

q = 3.0690 cm

so film is at distance of 3.07 cm from lens
