Answer:

F_d,1 / F_d,o =  4 , Option A

Explanation:

Given:

- The velocity of the bike V_o is doubled to 2*V_o

Find:

what happens to the magnitude of the drag force?

Solution:

- The expression of the Drag force as a function of objects area, coefficient of drag, velocity and density of medium is given by:

                                 F_d = 0.5*C_d*A*p*V^2 / 2

- In our case the force of drag with speed V_o is:

                                F_d,o = 0.5*C_d*A*p*V_o^2 / 2

- force of drag with speed 2V_o is:

                                 F_d,1 = 2*C_d*A*p*V_o^2 / 2

- Take the ratio of F_d,1 to F_d,o:

                  F_d,1 / F_d,o =  (2*C_d*A*p*V_o^2 / 2) / (0.5*C_d*A*p*V_o^2 / 2)

We get:                      F_d,1 / F_d,o =  4

Hence, by doubling the speed the magnitude of drag force is increased by a factor of 4.

The magnitude E of an electric field depends on the radial distance r according to E = A/r4, where A is a constant with unit vol
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

\Delta V = 0.053 A

Explanation:

Electric field in a given region is given by equation

E = \frac{A}{r^4}

as we know the relation between electric field and potential difference is given as

\Delta V = -\int E. dr

so here we have

\Delta V = - \int (\frac{A}{r^4}) .dr

\Delta V = \frac{A}{3r_1^3} - \frac{A}{3r_2^3}

here we know that

r_1 = 1.71 m  and r_2 = 2.89 m

so we will have

\Delta V = \frac{A}{3}(\frac{1}{1.71^3} - \frac{1}{2.89^3})

so we will have

\Delta V = 0.053 A
