A Ping-Pong ball has a mass of 2.3 g and a terminal speed of 9.2 m/s. The drag force is of the form bv2 What is the value of b?

1 answer:

8 0

Drag force is a force that resist the motion of a certain body through a fluid like air or water. This can be calculated through the equation,
D = 0.5Cρv²
where D is drag, C is the drag coefficient, ρ is the density and v is the velocity. The value therefore of b in the item above is,
b = 0.5Cρ

You've recently read about a chemical laser that generates a 20.0-cm-diameter, 26.0 MW laser beam. One day, after physics class,

aksik [14]

Answer :

(a). The speed of the block is 0.395 m/s.

(b). No

Explanation :

Given that,

Diameter = 20.0 cm

Power = 26.0 MW

Mass = 110 kg

diameter = 20.0 cm

Distance = 100 m

We need to calculate the pressure due to laser

Using formula of pressure

$P_{r}=\dfrac{I}{c}$

$P_{r}=\dfrac{P}{Ac}Put the value into the formula[tex]P_{r}=\dfrac{26.0\times10^{6}}{\pi\times(10\times10^{-2})^2\times3\times10^{8}}$

$P_{r}=2.75\ N/m^2$

We need to calculate the force

Using formula of force

$F=P\times A$

$F=P\times \pi r^2$

Put the value into the formula

$F=2.75\times\pi (0.01)^2$

$F=0.086\ N$

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using formula of force

$F=ma$

Put the value into the formula

$0.086=110\times a$

$a=\dfrac{0.086}{110}$

$a=0.000781\ m/s^2$

$a=7.81\times10^{-4}\ m/s^2$

(a). We need to calculate speed of the block

Using equation of motion

$v^2=u^2+2ad$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\sqrt{2\times7.81\times10^{-4}\times100}$

$v=0.395\ m/s$

(b). No because the velocity is very less.

Hence, (a). The speed of the block is 0.395 m/s.

(b). No

The orbiting of the moon around the Earth can be explained by

HACTEHA [7]

When talking about orbits, it would have to be a mixture of both A. and B. since Newton's first law, gravity plays a huge part in an orbit. However, the universal gravitation law also tells us the relationship between two massive objects in orbit. But to choose only one, it would have to be B. Newton's first law

When the core of a star like the sun uses up its supply of hydrogen for fusion, the core begins to ________?

pav-90 [236]

When the core of a star like the sun uses up its supply of hydrogen for fusion, the core begins to contract in size. The gravitational forces becomes strong and cause the star to reduce in size. as the star contracts, the temperature of the star also rises since the heat is distributed inside smaller Volume now.

Do tides depend more on the strength of gravitational pull or on the difference in strengths? explain.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Tides are influenced by the force of gravity exerted by the earth, moon and the sun. The sun has a larger mass than the moon and as such has a greater gravitational pull on the earth. the moon however has greater influence over the tides because they are caused by the difference in gravity fields. This means that the moon is the dominant influence due to the fact that the fractional difference in its force across the earth is greater than that seen from the sun.
