An ant can have more momentum than an elephant when the elephant is standing still.

Answer: A

Explanation

The momentum is the quantification of the movement done by an object.

It is found to be dependent on the mass of the object and the velocity with which it is moving.

In the present case, the ant has negligible mass compared to elephant so the momentum can be more for ant only when the velocity with which the elephant is moving tends to be zero.

As the velocity of elephant will be zero, the momentum of elephant will be zero so in this criteria, the moving ant will be having more momentum compared to elephant with zero velocity.

So an elephant with zero velocity means the elephant is standing still.

Thus, the condition in which the ant will be having more momentum compared to elephant is when the elephant stands still.

An ant will have more or higher momentum than elephant only if elephant stands still.

Explanation:

The term momentum is called as product of mass m  of an object and its velocity  \overrightarrow v for which it moves and the momentum can be denoted by vector quantity \overrightarrow p .

The object whose product of mass and the velocity are higher; its momentum will be more.

If elephant stands still, means its velocity is equal to zero, then product of its mass and velocity will be zero. Hence, it will have zero momentum.

Since, the mass of ant is insignificantly small but have velocity for moving. So, the ant have small momentum but somewhat greater than zero.

Therefore, the ant will have higher momentum than elephant only if elephant stands still.

If an ant will stand still it have zero velocity, so the momentum will be equal to zero. Hence, this option is also incorrect.

The option “The elephant has much high mass” is incorrect because having high mass but zero velocity will result in no momentum.

Thus, an ant will have higher momentum than elephant only if elephant is standing still.

Importance of liquid pressure
trapecia [35]

Answer:

hope it helps...

Explanation:

Both the water in the ocean and the air in the atmosphere exert pressure because of their moving particles. ... This causes greater pressure. Denser fluids such as water exert more pressure than less dense fluids such as air. The particles of denser fluids are closer together, so there are more collisions in a given area.

For the airfoil and conditions in Problem 2.2, calculate the lift-to-drag ratio. Comment on its magnitude.
raketka [301]

Answer:

L/D= 112

Explanation:

Aerodynamics can be defined as the branch of dynamics which deals with the motion of air, their properties and the interaction between the air and solid bodies.

Aerodynamics law explains how an airplane is able to fly. There are four forces of flight, and they are; lift, weight, thrust and drag. The amount of lift generated by a wing divided by the aerodynamic drag is known as the lift to drag ratio.

Lift increases proportionally to the square of the speed.

The solutions to the question is the file attached to this explanation.

Lift,L= qC(l). S---------------------------(1).

and,

Drag,D = qC(d).S ----------------------(2).

Hence, Lift to drag ratio,L/D= C(l)/C(d).

Therefore, we have to compute various angle of attack.(check attached file)...

Then, (L/D) will then be equal to 112.
