why a small sphere released from rest to fall through liquid in a deep tank eventually moves with constant speed ?

Physics

horsena [70]3 years ago

As the sphere moves in the liquid, it experiences a viscous force upwards that tries to resist its downward motion caused by gravity(it's own weight). This viscous force gradually increases with depth, as the speed rises(because the weight causes a positive acceleration in it's direction). At a point, the viscous force upwards becomes exactly equal to the weight downwards. Then the sphere reaches equilibrium. It doesn't have any external force acting on it, so it can't have any acceleration. So, it's velocity becomes constant, and this velocity is known as the terminal velocity.

Answer:

a)  t = 11.407 s, b)   x = 175.66 m,  v = c)         v = 30.80 m / s

Explanation:

a) This is a kinematics exercise, let's write the equation of each vehicle

car

          x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ a t²

Let's fix our reference system at the point where the car is, indicate that the car stops from rest vo = 0

          x₀ = v₀ = 0

we substitute

          x = ½ a t²

truck

         x₂= v₀ t

         v₀ = 15.4 m / s

at the point where they are, their positions are equal

       ½ a t² = vo t

        t = 2 vo / a

calculate us

        t = 2 15.4 / 2.70

        t = 11.407 s

b) the distance to reach it

        x = ½ to t²

        x = ½ 2.70 11.407²

        x = 175.66 m

c)  the speed of the car is

       v = vo + a t

       vo = 0

       v = at

       v = 2.70 11.407

       v = 30.80 m / s

An alpha particle (the nucleus of a helium atom) consists of two protons and two neutrons, and has a mass of 6.64 * 10-27 kg. A
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

t = 4.21x10⁻⁷ s

Explanation:

The time (t) can be found using the angular velocity (ω):

\omega = \frac{\theta}{t}

<em>Where θ: is the angular displacement = π (since it moves halfway through a complete circle)</em>

We have:

t = \frac{\theta}{\omega} = \frac{\theta}{v/r}  

<u>Where</u>:      

<em>v: is the tangential speed </em>

<em>r: is the radius</em>

The radius can be found equaling the magnetic force with the centripetal force:

qvB = \frac{mv^{2}}{r} \rightarrow r = \frac{mv}{qB}

Where:

m: is the mass of the alpha particle = 6.64x10⁻²⁷ kg

q: is the charge of the alpha particle = 2*p (proton) = 2*1.6x10⁻¹⁹C

B: is the magnetic field = 0.155 T

Hence, the time is:

t = \frac{\theta*r}{v} = \frac{\theta}{v}*\frac{mv}{qB} = \frac{\theta m}{qB} = \frac{\pi * 6.64 \cdot 10^{-27} kg}{2*1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C*0.155 T} = 4.21 \cdot 10^{-7} s

Therefore, the time that takes for an alpha particle to move halfway through a complete circle is 4.21x10⁻⁷ s.

I hope it helps you!

Ulleksa [173]
Even though the mass of the earth stays the same, the force gravity has on us will double because there is less space in the atmosphere for the gravity to pull anything in towards its center. Let me know if I'm correct!
