Answer:

dimensions of the drag coefficient is [M^0 L^0 T^0]

Drag coefficient is a dimensionless quantity

Explanation:

force is given byF=\frac{C_{D}  \rho V^2 A}{2}

we get expression for drag coefficient C_{D} =\frac{2F}{\rho V^2 A}

By substituting the dimensions  of the F,V,A and density , we get

C_{D} =\frac{[F]}{[\rho ][V]^2[A]} \\C_{D} =\frac{[MLT^{-2}]}{[ML^{-3} ][L T^{-1}]^2[L^2]} \\C_{D} =\frac{[MLT^{-2}]}{[ML^{-3} ][L^2 T^{-2}][L^2]} \\C_{D} =\frac{[MLT^{-2}]}{[MLT^{-2}]}\\C_{D}=[M^0 L^0 T^0]

Drag coefficient is a dimensionless

If a change in speed “Δv” occurs and the mass starts at rest, would the change in speed also equal the final speed of the mass?
stealth61 [152]

Yes, if the mass starts at rest, <u>the change in speed will be equal the final speed</u>, because:

Δv = Vf - Vo

How Vo (Initial velocity) is equal zero, we simplificate:

Δv = Vf

Then, the change of the speed, if the mass starts at rest, will be equal to final velocity.

If it takes 100 N to move a box 5 meters, what is the work done on the box?
jeyben [28]

Answer:  D.   500 J

=========================================================

Explanation:

To find the amount of work done, we multiply the force by displacement

work = force*displacement

work = (100 N)*(5 m)

work = (100*5) Nm

work = 500 J

In this case, "Nm" refers to "Newton meters" and not "nanometers"

1 newton meter is equal to 1 joule

Kaylis [27]

The dependent variable is: <em>"number of vocabulary words subjects can remember"</em>

<h3>Which is the dependent variable?</h3>

In an experiment, we basically see how changing one variable affects another variable.

In this case, the experiment is:

<em>" if sleep affects the number of vocabulary words subjects can remember."</em>

Then the hours of sleep would be the independent variable (the one that the scientist can change) and the number of vocabulary words subjects can remember is the dependent variable (that depends on the independent variable).

So the correct answer is:

<em>"number of vocabulary words subjects can remember"</em>
