Consider a small raindrop and a large raindrop falling through the atmosphere. (a) Compare their terminal speeds. Both raindrops

have the same terminal speed. The larger drop has lower terminal speed. The larger drop has higher terminal speed. Correct: Your answer is correct. (b) What are their accelerations when they reach terminal speed?

Terminal velocity is the maximum velocity attainable by an object as it falls through a fluid and is given by,

v=\sqrt{\frac{2mg}{\rho A C}}

Where,

m = mass of the falling object.

g = the acceleration due to gravity.

\rho = the density of the fluid the object is falling through.

A = the projected area of the object.

C = the drag coefficient.

A) Because a drop is difficult to approximate to a certain form, it usually tends to be considered a spectrum, the terminal velocity for a sphere is given by

V_t = \sqrt{\frac{4 g D (\rho_p-\rho)}{3 C \rho}}

Whatever our appreciations, all the variables are constant, except for the Diameter, we can realize that the terminal velocity is proportional to the radius of the object, the greater the radius - the larger the drop - the greater the terminal velocity.

B) Since there is a "constant" terminal velocity at the end of the path, at which point the forces are balanced, the acceleration will be 0. For both objects.

Answer: Linear speed is 1,670 Kph.

Explanation:

If we assume that the earth is a perfect sphere, and that is spinning itself once every roughly 24 hr, we can get the angular velocity of the Earth, in magnitude, as follows:

ω = 2π / 24 Hr

Now, by definition, an angle is the relationship between the arc s, and the radius r, so we can replace these values in the angular velocity expression, as follows:

ω = (Δs / r) . 1/Δt ⇒ ω = (Δs/Δt). 1/r

But, by definition, Δs/At, is just the linear velocity, v, so we can conclude the following;

ω = v/r ⇒ v = ω. r

So, we can get v, as follows:

v = 2π /24 hr . 6378 Km = 1,670 Km/hr.

A hollow cast-iron cylinder 4m long, 300mm outer diameter, and thickness of metal 50mm is subjected to a central load on the top
Sveta_85 [38]

Here, the calculated Magnitude of the load P is 2945.2 kN, the Longitudinal strain produced is 0.0005 and the decrease in length is 2 mm.

Given,

Length, L = 4 m

Outer diameter, D = 300mm, D= 0.3 m

Thickness, t = 50 mm, t = 0.05 m

Stress produced, σ = 75000 kN/m²

Young's modulus for cast iron, E = 1.5 x 10⁸ kN/m²

Calculating the diameter of the cylinder,

Diameter of cylinder, d = (D) – (2t) = 0.3 –( 2 × 0.05)

d= 0.2 m

(i) Magnitude of the load P:

Using the relation, σ =P/A

P = σ × A = 75000 × π /4 (D² – d² )

P= 75000 × π/4 (0.3² – 0.2²)

P= 75000 × π/4 (0.09 – 0.04)

P = 2945.2 kN

Hence, Magnitude of the load P is 2945.2 kN.

(ii) Longitudinal strain produced, e :

Using the relation, Strain, (e) = stress/E

e= 75000/(1.5 x 10⁸)= 0.0005

Hence, the Longitudinal strain produced is 0.0005.

(iii)Total decrease in length, dL:

The total decrease in length can be calculated using the strain as the ratio of change in length to the original length is known as Strain.

Strain = change in length/original length

e= dL/L

0.0005 = dL/4

dL = 0.0005 × 4m = 0.002m=2mm

Hence,the decrease in length is 2 mm.

Take for example driving by with a cake in your hand, then dropping it while going 30 mph. It will not drop directly down, it will gradually go in the direction you were driving while falling.
This is true I believe, if I'm interpreting correctly.
