Why is the air drag on a baseball different than it would be for a smooth ball with no stitches? How does this apply to the desi

Answer:

The stitches and dimples around a baseball  and a golf ball respectively, disturbs the air drag on the balls once they are in motion, allowing the them to travel more easily.

Explanation:

The stitches on a baseball disturbs the air drag on the ball when the ball is in motion, allowing the ball to travel more easily. Depending on the orientation of the ball in flight, the drag changes as the flow is disturbed by the stitches.  

A smooth ball with no stitches or dimples has more air drag that opposes the motion.

A golf ball is smooth ball with dimples to create a thin turbulent boundary layer of air that clings to the ball's surface. This allows the smoothly flowing air to follow the ball's surface a little farther around the back side of the ball, thereby decreasing the size of the wake, and allowing the ball to travel more easily.

Equation for pressure at a depth H inside a fluid PLSS URGENTT
Blababa [14]

Answer:

We begin by solving the equation P = hρg for depth h: h=Pρg h = P ρ g . Then we take P to be 1.00 atm and ρ to be the density of the water that creates the pressure.

Given that no sunlight can penetrate Europa’s ice shell, what would be the type of energy that could make some form of europan l
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

life in europa is possible due to chemical energy, surface and ocean intracts with one another and give off chemical energy.

Explanation:

the ocean in europa is in contact with the underlying rocky mantle and at high temperatures, its rocks and water interact. oxidization and reduction in which molecules give off and accept electrons occur in it  and in deep ocean, when chemically reduction vent fluids interacts with oxygen containing seawater to produce energy that can support micro-organisms and animals.

A 10 kg gun recoils with a speed of 0.1 m/s after it fires a 0.001 kg bullet. What is the speed of the bullet?
Kitty [74]

As we know that here gun + bullet system is isolated from all other external force system

so here the momentum of system is always conserved

so we will say

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

here we know that

v_{1i} = v_{2i} = 0

m_1 = 10 kg

m_2 = 0.001kg

v_{1f} = 0.1 m/s

now we will have

0 + 0 = 10(0.1) + 0.001v_{2f}

by solving above equation we will have

v_{2f} = 1000 m/s

Two identical metal balls are suspended by insulating threads. Both balls have the same net charge. In this problem, do not assu
Gnesinka [82]

Here in first case both balls will exert electrostatic force on each other

due to this electrostatic force the two balls will repel each other

Apart from this there will be gravitational force on the two balls which is vertically downwards

Now here we know that as the electrostatic force of repulsion will increase between two balls then the angle between the two balls will be more as the horizontal force will separate the two balls

Part b)

As we decrease the charge on one ball then the net electrostatic force between two balls will decrease as we know that this force will depends on the product of two charges

so here the angle between the two balls will decrease and the two balls will come closer.

Also by the free body diagram of two balls we can see that all the forces on the balls are same so the angle made by the ball with the vertical is same for both the balls

so here the angle that ball l makes with the vertical will be equal to the angle that ball 2 makes with the vertical.

you are riding an elevator upwards at 2.20m/s. you have a balance accurately calibrated in newtons. when you hang a mass of 15.0
Nady [450]

Answer:

<h2> 33N</h2>

Explanation:

Note: the unit for acceleration  in m/s^2

Also, the unit of the mass in the problem is assumed to be in kg

We are going to use newtons second law of motion which expresses the weight in an elevator as

F=ma

Given data

Acceleration of the elevator a= 2.2m/s^2

mass m = 15kg

substituting the data in the expression for force is

F=2.2*15

F= 33N

The reading of the balance is 33N
