A drag racing car with a weight of 1600 lbf attains a speed of 270 mph in a quarter-mile race. Immediately after passing the tim

ing lights, the driver opens a drag chute. At this point, the air and rolling resistance of the car are negligible compared to the drag of the chute. What chute diameter (in feet) is required to make sure that the car decelerates to 60 mph within 7 seconds?

Answer:

15.065ft

Explanation:

To solve this problem it is necessary to consider the aerodynamic concepts related to the Drag Force.

By definition the drag force is expressed as:

F_D = -\frac{1}{2}\rho V^2 C_d A

Where

\rho is the density of the flow

V = Velocity

C_d= Drag coefficient

A = Area

For a Car is defined the drag coefficient as 0.3, while the density of air in normal conditions is 1.21kg/m^3

For second Newton's Law the Force is also defined as,

F=ma=m\frac{dV}{dt}

Equating both equations we have:

m\frac{dV}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2}\rho V^2 C_d A

m(dV)=-\frac{1}{2}\rho C_d A (dt)

\frac{1}{V^2 }(dV)=-\frac{1}{2m}\rho C_d A (dt)

Integrating

\int \frac{1}{V^2 }(dV)= - \int\frac{1}{2m}\rho C_d A (dt)

-\frac{1}{V}\big|^{V_f}_{V_i}=\frac{1}{2m}(\rho)C_d (\pi r^2) \Delta t

Here,

V_f = 60mph = 26.82m/s

V_i = 120.7m/s

m= 1600lbf = 725.747Kg

\rho = 1.21 kg/m^3

C_d = 0.3

\Delta t=7s

Replacing:

\frac{-1}{26.82}+\frac{1}{120.7} = \frac{1}{2(725.747)}(1.21)(0.3)(\pi r^2) (7)

-0.029 = -5.4997r^2

r = 2.2963m

d= r*2 = 4.592m \approx 15.065ft

Most radiation exposure comes from
Mrrafil [7]
Most radiation exposure comes from natural sources. These so-called "natural sources" include Radon, Internal, Terrestrial, and Cosmic. Among that, Radon proves to be the largest source of radiation. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium.

An object of volume 0.0882 m3 is
vfiekz [6]

The density of the fluid is 776.3 m^{-3}

<u>Explanation:</u>

Buoyant force is the upward pushing force whenever an object is trying to get immersed in fluid. So this is the force given by the fluid on the object which is trying to get immersed. The buoyant force is found to be directly proportional to the product of density of the object, volume of the object. And here the acceleration due to gravity will be acting as proportionality constant.

      Buoyant force = Density \times Volume \times Acceleration

As, buoyant force is given as 671 N and volume is 0.0882 m^{3} and acceleration is known as 9.8 m/s^{2}. Then density is

   \text { Density }=\frac{\text { Buoyant force }}{\text {Volume } \times \text {Acceleration}}

Thus,

   \text { Density }=\frac{671}{0.0882 \times 9.8}=\frac{671}{0.86436}=776.296 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}

Density is 776.3 kg m^{-3}.

Help with both questions I’ll mark brainliest
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

(1) A sound wave a mechanical wave because mechanical waves rely on particle interaction to transport their energy, they cannot travel through regions of space that are void of particles. Sound is a mechanical wave and cannot travel through a vacuum. These particle-to-particle, mechanical vibrations of sound conductance qualify sound waves as mechanical waves. Sound energy, or energy associated with the vibrations created by a vibrating source, requires a medium to travel, which makes sound energy a mechanical wave. The answer is(B) it travels in the medium.

(2) An ocean wave is an example of a mechanical transverse wave

The compression is the part of the compressional wave where the particles are crowded together. The rarefaction is the part of the compressional wave where the particles are spread apart. The answer is (C) Compression.

What is static and sliding friction
vodka [1.7K]
Static friction is the friction that exists between a stationary object and the surface on which it's resting.
frictional force occurs when you try to push an object alongside a surface.
