Answer:

Instantaneous speed means speed at any instant

that means Speed is changing with time

You know speed is distance/time

So that means distance is also changing with time

So we take infinitesimal small distance per infinitesimal small time As we assume speed is constant in infinitesimal small time dt

So, we take speed = ds/dt

ds = infinitesimal small distance

dt = infinitesimal small time

As its ratio is equal to speed at any instant

Note : We are taking infinitesimal small distance

But :) we are taking infinitesimal small time also

As you know if denominator is small fraction is large So fraction always give large value

So it's not O ( this makes confuse to most of students)

So, thanks

Good question

Keep thinking like this :)

A small water droplet in a mist of air is approximated as being a sphere of diameter 1.25 mil. Calculate the terminal velocity a
shtirl [24]

The terminal velocity as it falls through still air is 4.65154 in/s.

The diameter of small water droplet is 1.25 mil= 1.25×0.0254×10^-3 m

                                                                            = 3.175 × 10^-5 m

Now the viscosity of still air is η = 1.83× 10⁻⁵ Pa

 So the formula for drag force is:

                Fd = 6πηrv

  where,  v is the velocity.

Now to attain terminal velocity acceleration must be zero.

            →  W = Fd

                ρVg = 6πrηv

                ρ × 4/3 πr³×g = 6πrηv

                           v = 2/9 × ρgr³/ η

                           v =  2/9 × 10³×9.81×(3.175×10^-3) / 18.6×10^-6

                           v = 0.1181  m/s

                           v = 4.65154 in/s

Describe how Rutherford's experiments changed the accepted scientific model of the atom.
lorasvet [3.4K]

Rutherford's model of the atom (ESAAQ) Rutherford carried out some experiments which led to a change in ideas around the atom. His new model described the atom as a tiny, dense, positively charged core called a nucleus surrounded by lighter, negatively charged electrons.

An object whose weight is 10kg is placed on smooth plane inclined at 30° to the horizontal. find the acceleration of the object
velikii [3]

Answer:

4.9 m/s²

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are two forces on the object:

Weight force mg pulling straight down,

and normal force N pushing perpendicular to the plane.

Sum the forces in the parallel direction.

∑F = ma

mg sin θ = ma

a = g sin θ

a = (9.8 m/s²) (sin 30°)

a = 4.9 m/s²
