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.

A cord is used to vertically lower an initially stationary block of mass M = 3.6 kg at a constant downward acceleration of g/7.
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

(a) W_c=127.008 J

(b) W_g=148.176 J

(c) K.E. = 21.168 J

(d) v=3.4293m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of a block, M = 3.6 kg
  • initial velocity of the block, u=0 m.s^{-1}
  • constant downward acceleration, a_d= \frac{g}{7}

\Rightarrow That a constant upward acceleration of \frac{6g}{7} is applied in the presence of gravity.

∴a=- \frac{6g}{7}

  • height through which the block falls, d = 4.2 m

(a)

Force by the cord on the block,

F_c= M\times a

F_c=3.6\times (-6)\times\frac{9.8}{7}

F_c=-30.24 N

∴Work by the cord on the block,

W_c= F_c\times d

W_c= -30.24\times 4.2

We take -ve sign because the direction of force and the displacement are opposite to each other.

W_c=-127.008 J

(b)

Force on the block due to gravity:

F_g= M.g

∵the gravity is naturally a constant and we cannot change it

F_g=3.6\times 9.8

F_g=35.28 N

∴Work by the gravity on the block,

W_g=F_g\times d

W_g=35.28\times 4.2

W_g=148.176 J

(c)

Kinetic energy of the block will be equal to the net work done i.e. sum of the two works.

mathematically:

K.E.= W_g+W_c

K.E.=148.176-127.008

K.E. = 21.168 J

(d)

From the equation of motion:

v^2=u^2+2a_d\times d

putting the respective values:

v=\sqrt{0^2+2\times \frac{9.8}{7}\times 4.2 }

v=3.4293m.s^{-1} is the speed when the block has fallen 4.2 meters.

Viktor [21]
Here we have perfectly inelastic collision. Perfectly inelastic collision is type of collision during which two objects collide, stay connected and momentum is conserved. Formula used for conservation of momentum is:
m_{1} * v_{1} + m_{2} * v_{2} = m_{1} * v'_{1}+ m_{2} * v'_{2}

In case of perfectly inelastic collision v'1 and v'2 are same.

We are given information:
m₁=0.5kg
m₂=0.8kg
v₁=3m/s
v₂=2m/s
v'₁=v'₂=x

0.5*3 + 0.8*2 = 0.5*x + 0.8*x
1.5 + 1.6 = 1.3x
3.1 = 1.3x
x = 2.4 m/s

The liquid that will evaporate the quickest would be water. 
<em>~The rest are mixtures, and have more ingrediants in them, therefore the answer should be water. (in which it has no other ingrediants in it but water itself)</em>

The universal law of gravitation states that the force of attraction between two objects depends on which quantities?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

D. the masses of the objects and the distance between them

Explanation:

Gravitation is a force, a force doesn't care about the shape or density of objects, only about their masses... and distances.

And you can get it using the following equation:

f = \frac{Gm_{1}m_{2} }{d^{2} }

Where :

G is the universal gravitational constant : G = 6.6726 x 10-11N-m2/kg2

m represent the mass of each of the two objects

d is the distance between the centers of the objects.
