Answer:

A) Gravitational Force is greater in S.

B) Time taken to fall a given distance in air will be greater for F.

C) Both will take same time to fall in a vacuum.

D) Total force is greater in S.

Explanation:

(a) In this case, the gravitational force of S will be greater, because Newton's Second Law states that - F = ma, or weight =mg. g is constant. And mass of the solid metal is heavier.

(b) In this case, the time it will take for F to fall from a given distance in air will be greater than that of S, since the air resistance is not negligible (as in the case of S).

(c) In this, It will take same time for S and F because in a vacuum, there are no air particles, so there is no air resistance and gravity is the only force acting and so objects fall at the same rate in a vacuum.

(d) The total force will be greater in S than F because Force=ma and S is of heavier mass than F.

A particle with charge 6 mC moving in a region where only electric forces act on it has a kinetic energy of 1.9000000000000001 J
Vesna [10]

Answer:

16.9000000000000001 J

Explanation:

From the given information:

Let the initial kinetic energy from point A be K_A = 1.9000000000000001 J

and the final kinetic energy from point B be K_B = ???

The charge particle Q = 6 mC = 6 × 10⁻³ C

The change in the electric potential from point B to A;

i.e. V_B - V_A = -2.5 × 10³ V

According to the work-energy theorem:

-Q × ΔV = ΔK

-Q \times ( V_B - V_A) = (K_B - K_A)

-(6\times 10^{-3}\ C) \times ( -2.5 \times 10^3) = (K_B - 1.9000000000000001 \ J)

15 = (K_B - 1.9000000000000001 \ J)

K_B = 15+ 1.9000000000000001 \ J

\mathbf{K_B =1 6.9000000000000001 \ J}

Find the shear stress and the thickness of the boundary layer (a) at the center and (b) at the trailing edge of a smooth flat pl
melomori [17]

Answer:

a) The shear stress is 0.012

b) The shear stress is 0.0082

c) The total friction drag is 0.329 lbf

Explanation:

Given by the problem:

Length y plate = 2 ft

Width y plate = 10 ft

p = density = 1.938 slug/ft³

v = kinematic viscosity = 1.217x10⁻⁵ft²/s

Absolute viscosity = 2.359x10⁻⁵lbfs/ft²

a) The Reynold number is equal to:

Re=\frac{1*3}{1.217x10^{-5} } =246507, laminar

The boundary layer thickness is equal to:

\delta=\frac{4.91*1}{Re^{0.5} }  =\frac{4.91*1}{246507^{0.5} } =0.0098 ft

The shear stress is equal to:

\tau=0.332(\frac{2.359x10^{-5}*3 }{1}  )(246507)^{0.5} =0.012

b) If the railing edge is 2 ft, the Reynold number is:

Re=\frac{2*3}{1.215x10^{-5} } =493015.6,laminar

The boundary layer is equal to:

\delta=\frac{4.91*2}{493015.6^{0.5} } =0.000019ft

The sear stress is equal to:

\tau=0.332(\frac{2.359x10^{-5}*3 }{2}  )(493015.6^{0.5} )=0.0082

c) The drag coefficient is equal to:

C=\frac{1.328}{\sqrt{Re} } =\frac{1.328}{\sqrt{493015.6} } ==0.0019

The friction drag is equal to:

F=Cp\frac{v^{2} }{2} wL=0.0019*1.938*(\frac{3^{2} }{2} )(10*2)=0.329lbf

Vector A has a magnitude of 50 units and points in the positive x direction. A second vector, B , has a magnitude of 120 units a
Alex Ar [27]

A) Vector A

The x-component of a vector can be found by using the formula

v_x = v cos \theta

where

v is the magnitude of the vector

\theta is the angle between the x-axis and the direction of the vector

- Vector A has a magnitude of 50 units along the positive x-direction, so \theta_A = 0^{\circ}. So its x-component is

A_x = A cos \theta_A = (50) cos 0^{\circ}=50

- Vector B has a magnitude of 120 units and the direction is \theta_B = -70^{\circ} (negative since it is below the x-axis), so the x-component is

B_x = B cos \theta_B = (120) cos (-70^{\circ})=41

So, vector A has the greater x component.

B) Vector B

Instead, the y-component of a vector can be found by using the formula

v_y = v sin \theta

Here we have

- Vector B has a magnitude of 50 units along the positive x-direction, so \theta_A = 0^{\circ}. So its y-component is

A_y = A sin \theta_A = (50) sin 0^{\circ}=0

- Vector B has a magnitude of 120 units and the direction is \theta_B = -70^{\circ}, so the y-component is

B_y = B sin \theta_B = (120) sin (-70^{\circ})=-112.7

where the negative sign means the direction is along negative y:

So, vector B has the greater y component.
