A rider on a bike with the combined mass of 100 kg attains a terminal speed of 15 m/s on a 12% slope. Assuming that the only for

ces affecting the speed are the weight and the drag, calculate the drag coefficient. The frontal area is 0.9 m2.

Answer:

7.84

Explanation:

Draw free body diagram and put all forces on it. Forces are

  • Gravity in direction of slope =\frac{12}{100} *100*12=117.6newton
  • Viscous force(opposite to slope) after attaining terminal speed =k*V=k*15

<em><u>As the bike+man system has attained a terminal velocity thus acceleration is zero . </u></em>

Both forces are opposite then equate them

117.6=k.15

k=7.84

Here k is drag coefficient.

Answer:

0·95

Explanation:

Given the combined mass of the rider and the bike = 100 kg

Percent slope = 12%

∴ Slope = 0·12

Terminal speed = 15 m/s

Frontal area = 0·9 m²

Let the slope angle be β

tanβ = 0·12

As it attains the terminal speed, the forces acting on the combined rider and the bike must be balanced and therefore the rider must be moving download as the directions of one of the component of weight and drag force will be in opposite directions

The other component of weight will get balance by the normal reaction and you can see the figure which is in the file attached

From the diagram m × g × sinβ = drag force

Drag force = 0·5 × d × C_{D} × v² × A

where d is the density of the fluid through which it flows

C_{D} is the drag coefficient

v is the speed of the object relative to the fluid

A is the cross sectional area

As tanβ = 0·12

∴ sinβ = 0·119

Let the fluid in this case be air and density of air d = 1·21 kg/m³

m × g × sinβ = 0·5 × d × C_{D} × v² × A

100 × 9·8 ×0·119 = 0·5 × 1·21 × C_{D} × 15² × 0·9

∴ C_{D} ≈ 0·95

∴ Drag coefficient is approximately 0·95

Monica [59]

Answer:

1) c.

2) a.)

Explanation:

1)

  • At any wave, if its waveform repeats itself every time interval T, it is said that the wave is periodic, with a period T, which is the time needed to complete an entire cycle. The other options refer at the way in the waves propagates (longitudinal or transversal) and to the type of waveform (sinusoidal), so the right answer is c).

2)

  • At any wave that propagates at a constant speed, there exists a fixed relationship between the velocity v, the frequency  f and the wavelength λ, as follows:

       v = \lambda * f   (1)

  • So in order to v keep constant, if the frequency is increased, the wavelength will decrease in the same proportion, so a) is the right answer.

Deffense [45]

A relationship exists and the numbers cause one another can be said about two numbers that have either a positive or negative correlation

Option : C

<u>Explanation:</u>

When two numbers have positive correlation, they move in the same direction. If the first variable increases, the second one also increases and if one variable decreases the other one also decreases.If the two numbers have negative correlation, the two numbers move in opposite directions.

A relationship exists between two numbers and the number cause one another. A correlation means that changing one variable affects the other. Correlation among variables need not necessarily imply causation. Positive correlations are mostly used in Finance and stock markets.

Explain the concept behind the multiverse. 2. what did astronomer edwin hubble discover in 1929? 3. explain what the two teams o
lozanna [386]
PART A)
1) The Multiverse is a system of multiple parallel Universes, in which our Universe is only one of the possible configurations.

2) Hubble in 1929 discovered, looking at distant galaxies, that they are moving away from us with a speed greater than expected as if they are on a moving pavement. This led to the idea of expanding Universe.

3) In the 1990s it was discovered that the Universe is expanding not at a decelerating rate, but, on the contrary, at an accelerating rate. The question that arose is: what is accelerating the expansion of the Universe?

4) The amount of dark energy that is making the Universe expansion to accelerate, also know as repulsive gravity, that is needed to explain what we see, is very small, therefore it must come out from laws of physics, but no one has yet found how. Although this amount is so small to be called a detail, Greene thinks it is important because it could prove the existence of other Universes.

5) The idea behind the string theory is that every sub-atomic particle is made of tiny vibrating strings and the way they vibrate determines what kind of particle is created. In order to make this theory to work, we need to allow the possibility of dimensions other than the four (3 of space + 1 of time) we experience every day.

6) Greene says that the Big Bang was fueled by an explosion, called inflation. Since this fuel is very efficient, it could have powered not only our Universe but also other parallel Universes, with different characteristics from ours. A forever expanding Universe will lead to galaxies so far away from each other not to be visible anymore because the light departing from them could not reach us anymore. Therefore in the future, the sky could be totally black, and future astronomers could believe that the Universe is nothing else than the planet they live in.

PART B)
1) The problem of living in our Universe is that we can only see it from inside and we cannot have the big picture of how things work, we can only see things that are inside our observational limits.

2) A flat geometry means that if you draw a triangle the sum of the angles is always 180°, exactly like in the Euclidean plane. Also, <span>that two parallel lines remain parallel forever, therefore light travels in a straight line.</span>

3) Gravity is an attractive force, therefore a galaxy can be redirected from its original direction when passing close to another galaxy. In some cases, the two galaxies start rotating around each other and at the end they merge, forming a new galaxy.

A silver wire has a cross sectional area a = 2.0 mm2. a total of 9.4 × 1018 electrons pass through the wire in 3.0 s. the conduc
marta [7]
This problem uses the relationships among current I, current density J, and drift speed vd. We are given the total of electrons that pass through the wire in t = 3s and the area A, so we use the following equation to to find vd, from J and the known electron density n, so: 

v_{d} =  \frac{J}{n\left | q \right |}

<span>The current I is any motion of charge from one region to another, so this is given by:

</span>I = \frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta t} = \frac{9.4x1018electrons}{3s} = 3189.73(A)

The magnitude of the current density is:

J = \frac{I}{A} = \frac{3189.73}{2x10^{-6}} = 1594.86(A/m^{2})

Being:

A=2mm^{2} = 2x10^{-6}m^{2}
<span>
Finally, for the drift velocity magnitude vd, we find:

</span>v_{d} = \frac{1594.86}{5.8x1028\left |1.60x10^{-19}|\right } = 1.67x10^{18}(m/s)

Notice: The current I is very high for this wire. The given values of the variables are a little bit odd
