Explain why objects moving in fluids must have special shapes ?

Physics
1 answer:
Alexus [3.1K]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Fluids exert both drag and lift forces on moving objects.  Drag is the frictional force opposing motion.  Lift is the force perpendicular to motion.

Some objects, like parachutes, are designed with large cross sectional areas to increase drag force.  Usually though, objects are designed to minimize drag force.  It's why cars, planes, and boats have sleek shapes.

Airplane wings have shapes called airfoils that generate lift.  It's what makes them fly.  The same shape is found in racecar spoilers.  These spoilers use lift force to push down on the rear tires, increasing traction.

Martije has made a slight error in naming a compound monocarbon tetrabromide. What compound is she most likely naming, and what
Alik [6]

Answer: CBr_4 : carbon tetrabromide

Explanation:

CBr_4 is a covalent compound because in this compound the sharing of electrons takes place between carbon and bromine. Both the elements are non-metals. Hence, it will form covalent bond.

The naming of covalent compound is given by:

1. The less electronegative element is written first.

2. The more electronegative element is written second. Then a suffix is added with it. The suffix added is '-ide'.

3. If atoms of an element is greater than 1, then prefixes are added which are 'mono' for 1 atom, 'di' for 2 atoms, 'tri' for 3 atoms and so on.

Hence, the correct name for CBr_4 is carbon tetrabromide.

(a) A standard sheet of paper measures 8 1/2 by 13 inches. Find the area of one such sheet of paper in m2.8.5(!meter/39.37in) —
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

a)    A = 0.07129 m²

b)    A / A ’= 1.77

Explanation:

In this exercise we are asked to find the area in SI units, so let's start by reducing the dimensions to SI units.

width a = 8.5 inch (2.54 cm 1 inch) (1 m / 100 cm)

            a = 0.2159 m

length l = 13 inch (2.54 cm / 1 inch) (1 m / 100 cm)

              l = 0.3302 m

The area of ​​a rectangle is

            A = l a

             A = 0.3302 0.2159

             A = 0.07129 m²

b) we have a second sheet with reduced dimensions

         a ’= 3/4 a

         l ’= ¾ l

Let's find the area of ​​this glossy sheet

         A ’= l’ a ’

         A ’= ¾ l ¾ a

         A ’= 9/16 l a

To find the factor we divide the two quantities

           A / A ’= l a 16 / (9 l a

            A / A ’= 1.77

Simon draws a diagram to illustrate the law of reflection.
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Make the angle of reflection and the angle of incidence equal.

Explanation:

The law of reflection states that at the point of incidence on a smooth surface, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle  of reflection, The incident ray, the normal and the reflected ray lie on the same plane.
