Drag Force = bv^2 = ma; a = g = 9.81 m/s^2

b = mg/v^2 = (0.0023×9.81)/(9.4^2)

b = 0.000255

If a block of wood dropped from a tall building has attained a velocity of 78.4 m/s how long has it been falling
ryzh [129]

Gravity adds 9.8 m/s to the speed of a falling object every second.

An object dropped from 'rest' (v = 0) reaches the speed of 78.4 m/s after  falling for (78.4 / 9.8) = <em>8.0 seconds</em> .

<u>Note:</u>

In order to test this, you'd have to drop the object from a really high cell- tower, building, or helicopter.  After falling for 8 seconds and reaching a speed of 78.4 m/s, it has fallen 313.6 meters (1,029 feet) straight down.

The flat roof of the Aon Center . . . the 3rd highest building in Chicago, where I used to work when it was the Amoco Corporation Building . . . is 1,076 feet above the street.

An American Red Cross plane needs to drop emergency supplies to victims of a hurricane in a remote part of the world. The plane
Andreas93 [3]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Assume that air resistance is ignored.

Note:
The distance, h, of a falling object with initial vertical velocity of zero at time t is
h = (1/2)gt²
where
g = 9.8 m/s²

The initial vertical velocity of the supplies is 0 m/s.
It the time taken for the supplies to reach the ground is t, then
(50 m) = (1/2)*(9.8 m/s²)*(t s)²

Hence obtain
t² = 50/4.9 = 10.2041
t = 3.1944 s

The horizontal distance traveled at a speed of 100 m/s is
d = (100 m/s)*(3.1944 s) = 319.44 m

Answer: 319.4 m (nearest tenth)

An electromagnetic wave has a frequency of 1.0 x 10^5. What is the wavelength of the wave?
SashulF [63]

Answer:

The frequency , speed and wavelength of an electromagnetic wave are related by the formula

Speed = frequency x wavelength

frequency = speed / wavelength

substituting the values

frequency = 3 x #10 ^8# m /s / 1 x #10^15# m

= 3 x #10^-7# /s
