Why is there no drag in space?????? Help me please!!! Thanks!!!

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?

An electric current flows through a parallel circuit. Which units tell you about the amount of electrons traveling in the circui

kompoz [17]

'Ampere' is the unit of current. That's the rate at which
electrons travel in the circuit ... the number of electrons
every second. If you wanted the actual amount or number
of electrons, you'd need to know the length of time too.

It doesn't matter whether we're talking about a parallel or
series circuit.

Calculate the linear acceleration (in m/s2) of a car, the 0.310 m radius tires of which have an angular acceleration of 15.0 rad

love history [14]

Answer:

a) The linear acceleration of the car is $4.65\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ , b) The tires did 7.46 revolutions in 2.50 seconds from rest.

Explanation:

a) A tire experiments a general plane motion, which is the sum of rotation and translation. The linear acceleration experimented by the car corresponds to the linear acceleration at the center of the tire with respect to the point of contact between tire and ground, whose magnitude is described by the following formula measured in meters per square second:

$\| \vec a \| = \sqrt{a_{r}^{2} + a_{t}^{2}}$

Where:

$a_{r}$ - Magnitude of the radial acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

$a_{t}$ - Magnitude of the tangent acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

Let suppose that tire is moving on a horizontal ground, since radius of curvature is too big, then radial acceleration tends to be zero. So that:

$\| \vec a \| = a_{t}$

$\| \vec a \| = r \cdot \alpha$

Where:

$\alpha$ - Angular acceleration, measured in radians per square second.

$r$ - Radius of rotation (Radius of a tire), measured in meters.

Given that $\alpha = 15\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$ and $r = 0.31\,m$ . The linear acceleration experimented by the car is:

$\| \vec a \| = (0.31\,m)\cdot \left(15\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}} \right)$

$\| \vec a \| = 4.65\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

The linear acceleration of the car is $4.65\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ .

b) Assuming that angular acceleration is constant, the following kinematic equation is used:

$\theta = \theta_{o} + \omega_{o}\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \alpha \cdot t^{2}$

Where:

$\theta$ - Final angular position, measured in radians.

$\theta_{o}$ - Initial angular position, measured in radians.

$\omega_{o}$ - Initial angular speed, measured in radians per second.

$\alpha$ - Angular acceleration, measured in radians per square second.

$t$ - Time, measured in seconds.

If $\theta_{o} = 0\,rad$ , $\omega_{o} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}$ , $\alpha = 15\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}$ , the final angular position is:

$\theta = 0\,rad + \left(0\,\frac{rad}{s}\right)\cdot (2.50\,s) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(15\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}\right)\cdot (2.50\,s)^{2}$

$\theta = 46.875\,rad$

Let convert this outcome into revolutions: (1 revolution is equal to 2π radians)

$\theta = 7.46\,rev$

The tires did 7.46 revolutions in 2.50 seconds from rest.

Determine the minimum work per unit of heat transfer from the source reservoir that is required to drive a heat pump with therma

Sloan [31]

Answer:

The minimum work per unit heat transfer will be 0.15.

Explanation:

We know the for a heat pump the coefficient of performance ( $C_{HP}$ ) is given by

$C_{HP} = \dfrac{Q_{H}}{W_{in}}$

where, $Q_{H}$ is the magnitude of heat transfer between cyclic device and high-temperature medium at temperature $T_{H}$ and $W_{in}$ is the required input and is given by $W_{in} = Q_{H} - Q_{L}$ , $Q_{L}$ being magnitude of heat transfer between cyclic device and low-temperature $T_{L}$ . Therefore, from above equation we can write,
