A passenger on a stopped bus notices that rain is falling vertically just outside the window. When the bus moves with constant v

elocity, the passenger observes that the falling raindrops are now making an angle of 18 ∘ with respect to the vertical.1. What is the ratio of the speed of the raindrops to the speed of the bus?2. Find the speed of the raindrops, given that the bus is moving with a speed of 19 {m/s}.

Answer:

1)0.325

2) $6.17\ \rm m/s$

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

The angle that falling raindrops make with the vertical= $18^\circ$

Let $V_R$ be the velocity of the raindrops and $V_B$ be the velocity of the bus.

1)

$\dfrac{V_R}{V_B}=\tan 18^\circ\\\dfrac{V_R}{V_B}=0.315\\$

2)Speed of the raindrops $=0.315\times 19$

$=6.17\ \rm m/s$

The drag force pushes opposite your motion as you ride a bicycle. If you double your speed, what happens to the drag force?

timurjin [86]

Answer: The drag force goes up by a factor of 4

Explanation:

The <u>Drag Force</u> equation is:

$F_{D}=\frac{1}{2}C_{D}\rho A_{D}V^{2}$ (1)

Where:

$F_{D}$ is the Drag Force

$C_{D}$ is the Drag coefficient, which depends on the material

$\rho$ is the density of the fluid where the bicycle is moving (<u>air in this case) </u>

$A_{D}$ is the transversal area of the body or object

$V$ the bicycle's velocity

Now, if we assume $C_{D}$ , $\rho$ and $A_{D}$ do not change, we can rewrite (1) as:

$F_{D}=C.V^{2}$ (2)

Where $C$ groups all these coefficients.

So, if we have a new velocity $V_{n}$ , which is the double of the former velocity:

$V_{n}=2V$ (3)

Equation (2) is written as:

$F_{D}=C.V_{n}^{2}=C.(2V)^{2}$

$F_{D}=4CV^{2}$ (4)

Comparing (2) and (4) we can conclude<u> the Drag force is four times greater when the speed is doubled.</u>

A billiard ball of mass m moving with speed v1=1 m/s collides head-on with a second ball of mass 2m which is at rest. What is th

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The velocity of mass 2m is $v_B = 0.67 m/s$

Explanation:

From the question w are told that

The mass of the billiard ball A is =m

The initial speed of the billiard ball A = $v_1$ =1 m/s

The mass of the billiard ball B is = 2 m

The initial speed of the billiard ball B = 0

Let the final speed of the billiard ball A = $v_A$

Let The finial speed of the billiard ball B = $v_B$

According to the law of conservation of Energy

$\frac{1}{2} m (v_1)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (0) ^ 2 = \frac{1}{2} m (v_A)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (v_B)^2$

Substituting values

$\frac{1}{2} m (1)^2 = \frac{1}{2} m (v_A)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (v_B)^2$

Multiplying through by $\frac{1}{2}m$

$1 =v_A^2 + 2 v_B ^2 ---(1)$

According to the law of conservation of Momentum

$mv_1 + 2m(0) = mv_A + 2m v_B$

Substituting values

$m(1) = mv_A + 2mv_B$

Multiplying through by $m$

$1 = v_A + 2v_B ---(2)$

making $v_A$ subject of the equation 2

$v_A = 1 - 2v_B$

Substituting this into equation 1

$(1 -2v_B)^2 + 2v_B^2 = 1$

$1 - 4v_B + 4v_B^2 + 2v_B^2 =1$

$6v_B^2 -4v_B +1 =1$

$6v_B^2 -4v_B =0$

Multiplying through by $\frac{1}{v_B}$

$6v_B -4 = 0$

$v_B = \frac{4}{6}$

$v_B = 0.67 m/s$

An apple hanging from a limb has potential energy because of its height . If it falls ,what becomes of this energy just before i

sineoko [7]

Answer: Just before its hits the ground it becomes kinetic energy and when it hits the ground it becomes in another form of energy (acoustic energy or thermal energy, for example)

Explanation:

Energy is the ability of matter to produce work in the form of movement, light, heat, among others.

In this sense, according to the Conservation of Energy principle: <em>"energy is not created or destroyed, it is transformed."</em>

So, in the case of the apple, its total energy is conserved.

When the apple is hanging from a limb, it has zero kinetic energy $K_{o}=0$ (because it is at rest) and has gravitational potential energy $U_{o}$ , which depends on the mass $m$ , the acceleration due gravity $g$ and the height $h$ :

$U_{o}=mgh$

When the apple falls, just before its hits the ground, this gravitational potential energy transforms in kinetic energy $K_{1}$ (since the apple is moving), which depends on the mass and velocity $V$ of the apple:

$K_{1}=\frac{1}{2}mV^{2}$

When the apple hits the ground, the gravitational potential energy is zero (h=0) and the kinetic energy transforms into some other form of energy (acoustic energy or thermal energy, for example).
