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.

a child is stationary on a swing. The child is given a push by a parent and the child starts swinging
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

you havent given the full question

but im guessing momentum

momentum is the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity or the impetus gained by a moving object.

Explanation:

as the child is pushed, it gathers momentum as its weight allows it be pushed forward, and the velocity is the speed driven by the amount of force the parent pushes on the child whilst they are swinging. The momentum is the result of this action

the equation that links these factors together are

p = mv

p = momentum

m = mass

v = velocity

hope i got it right ._.

A 100 kg bungee jumper leaps from a bridge. The bungee cord has an un-streched equilibrium length of 10 m, and a spring constant
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

11.78meters

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m = 100kg

Length of cord= 10m

Spring constant k= 35N/m

At the greatest vertical distance, the spring potential energy is equal to the gravitational potential energy

That is

Us=Ug

Us= 1/2kx^2

Ug= mgh

1/2kx^2= mgh

0.5*35*10^2= 100*9.81*h

0.5*35*100=981h

1750=981h

h= 1750/981

h= 1.78

Hence the bungee jumper will reach 1.78+10= 11.78meters below the surface of the bridge

What is the relationship between kinetic energy and changing states of matter?
oee [108]

Answer:

The kinetic molecular theory of matter states that: Matter is made up of particles that are constantly moving. All particles have energy, but the energy varies depending on the temperature the sample of matter is in. This in turn determines whether the substance exists in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state.

A basketball player drops a 0.4-kg basketball vertically so that it is traveling at 5.7 m/s when it reaches the floor. The ball
Alik [6]

Answer:

(a) p = 3.4 kg-m/s (b) 37.78 N.

Explanation:

Mass of a basketball, m = 0.4 kg

Initial velocity of the ball, u = -5.7 m/s (as it comes down so it is negative)

It rebounds upward at a speed of 2.8 m/s  (as it rebounds so positive)

(a) Change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum

p = m(v-u)

p = 0.4 (2.8-(-5.7))

p = 3.4 kg-m/s

(b) Impulse = change in momentum

Ft = 3.4

We have, t = 0.09 s

F=\dfrac{3.4}{0.09}\\\\F=37.78\ N

Hence, this is the required solution.
