A brick and a feather fall to the earth at their respective terminal velocities. Which objectexperiences the greater force of ai
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Under the reasonable assumption that the brick has more mass than the feather, the brick experiences a greater force of air friction.

Explanation:

<u>Objects at terminal velocity</u>, only under the influence of gravity, have maximized their speed and <u>have an acceleration of zero</u>.  Thus, neither object is accelerating.

Recall Newton's second law: \sum {\vec {F}}=m \vec {a}

Since acceleration for each object is zero, the sum of the force acting on each of those objects must also be zero.

Since the only forces acting on the objects are gravity and the force of air friction, in order to zero out, <u>the force of air friction must be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force of gravity</u>.

Recall that near the surface of the earth, F_{gravity}=mg, so <u>the Force of Gravity acting on an object is directly proportional to the object's mass</u>.  <em>(A similar argument could be made even if this were not taking place on the surface of the earth, so long as the objects were the same distance from the object providing gravitational influence).</em>

If the masses of the objects are different, <u>the object with the greater mass will experience</u> a larger force of gravity, and hence <u>a larger force of air friction</u> at terminal velocity.  

Under the reasonable assumption that the brick has more mass than the feather, the brick experiences a greater force of air friction.

A child looks at his reflection in a spherical Christmas tree ornament 8.0 cm in diameter in season that the image of his face i
malfutka [58]

From the information given,

diameter of ornament = 8

radius = diameter/2 = 8/2

radius of curvature, r = 4

Recall,

focal length, f = radius of curvature/2 = 4/2

f = 2

Recall,

magnification = image d

You and some friends decide to take a canoe trip down the Wood River. The stretch of river you are traveling flows at a roughly
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

t= 1.2 hours

Explanation:

Define first di distance between the points, so

\bar{x}_{canoe}=2*(2+3)=10

\bar{x}_{water}=2*2=4

The distance is

d= \bar{x}_{canoe}- \bar{x}_{water}

d= 10-4 = 6miles

t = \frac{x}{v} = \frac{6}{2+3}

t= 1.2 hours

The air pressure inside a car tire is
Valentin [98]

Answer:

0.137m²

Explanation:

Pressure = Force/Area

Given

Force = 41,500N

Pressure = 3.00atm

since 1atm = 101325.00 N/m²

3atm = 3(101325.00)

3atm = 303,975N/m²

Pressure = 303,975N/m²

Get the area

Area = Force/Pressure

Area = 41500/303,975

Area = 0.137m²'

Hence the surface area of the  inside of the tire is 0.137m²
