A professional golfer hits a golf ball of mass 46 g with her 5-iron, and the ball first strikes the ground 155 m away. The ball

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

$C=2.32\times 10^{-4}\ Ns^2/m^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the golf ball, m = 46 g = 0.046 kg

Terminal speed of the ball, v = 44 m/s

The drag force, $F_r=Cv^2$

Where, C is the drag coefficient. At terminal speed, the weight of the ball is balanced by the drag force.

$Cv^2=mg$

$C=\dfrac{mg}{v^2}$

$C=\dfrac{0.046\times 9.8}{(44)^2}$

$C=2.32\times 10^{-4}\ Ns^2/m^2$

Hence, this is the required solution.

When a cup is placed on a table, which force prevents the cup from falling to the ground?

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

B. normal force

Explanation:

Because there is no frictional or resistance force. However gravitational force is applied downroad from the center of the cup thus the contact force that is perpendicular to the surface that an object contacts which is the normal force exerted upward from the table that prevents an object from falling.

In a science museum, a 140 kg brass pendulum bob swings at the end of a 16.8 m -long wire.

Mice21 [21]

The period of the pendulum is 8.2 s

Explanation:

The period of a simple pendulum is given by the equation:

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

where

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration of gravity

T is the period

We notice that the period of a pendulum does not depend at all on its mass, but only on its length.

For the pendulum in this problem, we have

L = 16.8 m

and

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ (acceleration of gravity)

Therefore the period of this pendulum is

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{16.8}{9.8}}=8.2 s$
