What feature of an object does not affect air resistance?

1 answer:

7 0

The amount of air resistance an object experiences depends on its speed, its cross-sectional area, its shape and the density of the air. Air densities vary with altitude, temperature and humidity. Nonetheless, 1.29 kg/m3 is a very reasonable value. The shape of an object affects the drag coefficient (Cd)

Rogue waves are created along the "Wild Coast" off the southeast coast of ________, where the Agulhas Current flows directly aga

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Africa

Explanation:

A rogue wave refers to the wave that is twice the height of a significant wave occurring in a particular area. The significant wave height is generally referred to as the mean of the largest one-third of waves existing at a particular time period. In simple words, a rogue wave is much larger than any other waves that occur at the proximity of the same time.

This rough wave describes the interaction between the ocean and sea current and swelling of waves. It takes place when the large swells in the ocean, also known as the Antarctic storms, strikes with the rapidly traveling Agulhas current, and the curved water current focuses on the energy of the waves.

Thus, these Rogue waves are often generated along the southeastern coastal regions of Africa, where there occurs the convergence of Antarctic storm waves and Agulhas Current.

Choose the statement(s) that is/are true about the ratio \frac{C_p}{C_v} C p C v for a gas? (Ii) This ratio is the same for all

Blababa [14]

Answer:

(i) false

(ii) true

(iii) true

(iv) false

Explanation:

(i) The ratio of Cp and Cv is not constant for all the gases. It is because the value of cp and Cv is different for monoatomic, diatomic and polyatomic gases.

So, this is false.

(ii) For monoatomic gas

Cp = 5R/2, Cv = 3R/2

So, thier ratio

Cp / Cv = 5 / 3 = 1.67

This statement is true.

(iii) for diatomic gases

Cp = 7R/2, Cv = 5R/2

Cp / Cv = 7 / 5 = 1.4

This statement is true.

(iv) It is false.

A physics professor demonstrates the Doppler effect by tying a 600 Hz sound generator to a 1.0-m-long rope and whirling it aroun

cluponka [151]

Answer:Highest frequency =618.89Hz

Lowest frequency=582.22Hz

Explanation:

The linear velocity of a sound generator is related to angular velocity and is given as

Vs = rω where

r = the radius of circular path = 1.0 m

ω is the angular velocity of the sound generator. = 100 rpm

1 rev/min = 0.10472 rad/s

100rpm =10.472 rad/ s

Vs = rω

= 1m x 10.472rad/ s= 10.472m/s

A) Highest frequency heard by a student in the classroom = Maximum frequency. Using the Doppler effect formulae,

f max = (v/ v-vs) fs

Where , v is the speed of the sound in air at 20 degrees celcius =

343 metres per second

vs is the linear velocity of the sound generator=10.472m/s

fs is the frequency of the sound generator= 600 Hz

f max = (343/ 343 - 10.472) x 600

=343/332.528) x600

=618.89Hz

B) Lowest frequency heard by a student in the classroom = Minimum frequency

f min = (v/ v+vs) fs

(343/ 343 + 10.472) x 600

=343/353.472) x 600

=582.22hz
