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

At a distance of 11 cm from a presumably isotropic, radioactive source, a pair of students measure 65 cps (cps = counts per seco
Alborosie

To solve the problem, it is necessary the concepts related to the definition of area in a sphere, and the proportionality of the counts per second between the two distances.

The area with a certain radius and the number of counts per second is proportional to another with a greater or lesser radius, in other words,

A_1*m=M*A_2

A_i =Area

M,m = Counts per second

Our radios are given by

r_1 = 11cm

R_2 = 20cm

m = 65cps

Therefore replacing we have that,

A_1*m=M*A_2

4\pi r_1^2*m = M * 4\pi R_2^2 M

r^2*m=MR^2

M = \frac{m*r^2}{R^2}

M = \frac{65*11^2}{20^2}

M = 19.6625cps

Therefore the number of counts expect at a distance of 20 cm is 19.66cps

Two 0.20-kg balls, moving at 4 m/s east, strike a wall. Ball A bounces backwards at the same speed. Ball B stops. Which statemen
muminat

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass m=0.20kg

Velocity v=4m/s

Generally the equation for momentum for Ball A is mathematically given by

Initial Momentum

 M_{a1}=mV

 M_{a1}=0.2*4

 M_{a1}=0.8

Final Momentum

 M_{a2}=-0.8kgm/s

Therefore

 \triangle M_a=-1.6kgm/s

Generally the equation for momentum for Ball B is mathematically given by

Initial Momentum

 M_{b1}=mV

 M_{b1}=0.2*4

 M_{b1}=0.8

Final Momentum

 M_{b2}=-0 kgm/s

Therefore

 |\triangle M_a|>|\triangle Mb|

Option A

labwork [276]
Assemblage is an additive process where artists construct work by putting together objects and attaches them in some way. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "b". This kind of artistry actually gives a three dimensional impression to the work that is done by the artist.
