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

What's is the origin of Neptune's moon Triton?

Elden [556K]

Triton was discovered by British astronomer William Lassell on October 10, 1846, just 17 days after the discovery of Neptune.

Triton is named after the Greek sea god Triton (Τρίτων), the son of Poseidon (the Greek god corresponding to the Roman Neptune).

How is speed determined?

enot [183]

Speed equals distance divided by time (Speed=Distance/Time).

For example if it takes someone three minutes to go three miles their speed is one mile a minute.

An engine absorbs 1.69 kJ from a hot reservoir at 277°C and expels 1.25 kJ to a cold reservoir at 27°C in each cycle.

Anna35 [415]

Answer

Given,

Energy absorbed, $Q_H = 1.69\ kJ$

Energy expels, $Q_C = 1.25\ kJ$

Temperature of cold reservoir, T = 27°C

a) Efficiency of engine

$\eta = \dfrac{Q_H - Q_C}{Q_H}\times 100$

$\eta = \dfrac{1.69 - 1.25}{1.69}\times 100$

$\eta =26.03 %$

b) Work done by the engine

$W = Q_H- Q_C$

$W =1.69 - 1.25$

$W = 0.44\ kJ$

c) Power output

t = 0.296 s

$P = \dfrac{W}{t}$

$P = \dfrac{0.44}{0.296}$

$P = 1.486\ kW$

Two light bulbs are 2.0 m apart. From what distance can these light bulbs be marginally resolved by a small telescope with a 4.5

andrezito [222]

Answer:

R = 1.2295 10⁵ m

Explanation:

After reading your problem they give us the diameter of the lens d = 4.50 cm = 0.0450 m, therefore if we use the Rayleigh criterion for the resolution in the diffraction phenomenon, we have that the minimum separation occurs in the first minimum of diffraction of one of the bodies m = 1 coincides with the central maximum of the other body

θ = 1.22 λ / D

where the constant 1.22 leaves the resolution in polar coordinates and D is the lens aperture

how angles are measured in radians

θ = y / R

where y is the separation of the two bodies (bulbs) y = 2 m and R the distance from the bulbs to the lens

$\frac{y}{R} = 1.22 \frac{ \lambda}{D}$
