If there is no fluid, there is no drag. Drag is generated by the difference in velocity between the solid object and the fluid.

It is beacuse of fluid If there is no fluid, there is no drag. Drag is generated by the difference in velocity between the solid object and the fluid. If this statement is correct then how can there be drag in space if there is no air?

Answer:

a) $a=4\,\frac{m}{s^2}$

b) $V(t)=4\,t\,+3$

c) $V(1)=7 \,\frac{m}{s} \\$

d) Displacement = 22 m

e) Average speed = 11 m/s

Explanation:

Notice that the acceleration is the derivative of the velocity function, which in this case, being a straight line is constant everywhere, and which can be calculated as:

$slope= \frac{15=3}{3-0} =4\,\frac{m}{s^2}$

Therefore, acceleration is $a=4\,\frac{m}{s^2}$

b) the functional expression for this line of slope 4 that passes through a y-intercept at (0, 3) is given by:

$y=m\,x+b\\V(t)=4\,t\,+3$

c) Since we know the general formula for the velocity, now we can estimate it at any value for 't", for example for the requested t = 1 second:

$V(t)= 4\,t+3\\V(1)=4\,(1)+3\\V(1)=7 \,\frac{m}{s}$

d) The displacement between times t = 1 sec, and t = 3 seconds is given by the area under the velocity curve between these two time values. Since we have a simple trapezoid, we can calculate it directly using geometry and evaluating V(3) (we already know V(1)):

Displacement = $\frac{(7+15)\,2}{2} = 22\,\,m$
