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

A motor is used to lift a 10 kg mass 2 m above the ground in 4 s. If the power input to the motor is 100 W. what is the efficien
Bad White [126]

Answer:

98%

Explanation:

Given parameters

Mass of motor = 10kg

Height = 2m

Time = 2s

Power input = 100w

Unknown

Efficiency = ?

Solution

Efficiency is the percentage of the power output to the power input.

Power is the rate at which work is done.

Power output = mass x g x height / time

g is the acceleration due to gravity

Power output = 10x 2 x 9.8 / 2 = 98W

Efficiency = power output/ power input x 100

Efficiency = 98/100 x 100 = 98%

Find the wavelength λ of the 80.0-khz wave emitted by the bat. express your answer in millimeters.
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

4.29 millimeters

Explanation:

Bats emit ultrasound waves: in air, ultrasound waves travel at a speed of

v=343 m/s

The frequency of the waves emitted by this bat is:

f=80.0 kHz = 80,000 Hz

Therefore we can find the wavelength of the wave emitted by the bat by using the relationship between speed, frequency and wavelength:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{343 m/s}{80,000 Hz}=4.29\cdot 10^{-3} m=4.29 mm
