An Object moving in a liquid experiences a linear drag force: D= (bv, direction opposite the motion), where b is constant called
the drag coefficient. For a sphere of radius R, the drag constant can be computed as b = 6πηR, where η is the viscosity of the liquid. a. Use what you've learned in calculus to prove that
ax= vx . dvx/dx
b. Find an algebraic expression for , Vx (x) the x-component of velocity as a funtion of distance traveled, for a spherical particle of radius R and mass m that is shot horizontally with initial speed Vo through a liquid viscosity η.
c. Water at 20°C has viscosity η= 1.0 x 10^-3 Ns/m^2.Suppose a 1.0-cm-diameter, 1.0 g marble is shot horizontally into a tank of 20°C water at 10 cm/s. How far will it travel before stopping?
When they encounter boundaries between different media, the waves react according to Snell’s law, and the angle of refraction across the boundary will depend on the velocity of the second media relative to the first
