What is the force of lift and its applications

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

fluid flowing past the surface of a body exerts a force on it. Lift is the component of this force that is perpendicular to the oncoming flow direction.[1] It contrasts with the drag force, which is the component of the force parallel to the flow direction. Lift conventionally acts in an upward direction in order to counter the force of gravity, but it can act in any direction at right angles to the flow.

If the surrounding fluid is air, the force is called an aerodynamic force. In water or any other liquid, it is called a hydrodynamic force.

Dynamic lift is distinguished from other kinds of lift in fluids. Aerostatic lift or buoyancy, in which an internal fluid is lighter than the surrounding fluid, does not require movement and is used by balloons, blimps, dirigibles, boats, and submarines. Planing lift, in which only the lower portion of the body is immersed in a liquid flow, is used by motorboats, surfboards, and water-skis.

URGENT I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST

Reil [10]

Weight : It is the gravitational attraction force on an object near its surface.

It is always measured in the unit of Newton(N)

it is given by the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity

$W = mg$

here we know that mass of the pig is m = 140 kg

also we know that acceleration due to gravity near the surface of earth is approximately g = 9.8 m/s/s

so here we know by above formula

$W = (140 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)$

$W = 1372 N$

so correct answer will be

What force is produced when a battery causes an electric current to flow trough a circuit made of copper wire

zzz [600]

You'll hear that force called different things in different places. It
may be called "electromotive force", "EMF", "potential difference",
or "voltage".

It's just a matter of somehow causing the two ends of the wire
to have different electrical potential. When that happens, the
free electrons in the copper suddenly have a burning desire to
travel ... away from the end that's more negative, toward the end
that's more positive, and THAT's an "electric current".

A box of books weighing 325N moves at a constant velocity across the floor when the box is pushed with a force of 425 N exerted

iragen [17]

Answer:The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.61

Explanation:A state of constant velocity connotes an acceleration equal to zero {this is evident from Acceleration=(final velocity-initial velocity)/time}

Consequently,a balanced forces system is attained

Force of pulling

F(x)=F×cosα=425N×0.817=347N

is equivalent to the resistance force.

F=U(k)×(Fw+Fsinα)=U(k)×(325N+425N×0,576)=U(k)×570N

Note; U(k) is the coefficient of kinetic friction

Equating the two force components,

The coefficient of static friction ×570N= 347N

The coefficient of static friction = 347N/570N

The coefficient of static friction =0.61

Please note that the coefficient of static friction is dimensionless .

This is as a result of the same unit of forces whose division resulted in the determination of the coefficient of kinetic friction.
