Answer:
the terminal velocity of 14 nested coffee filters is 3.2 m/s
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
we know that;
The terminal velocity is proportional to the square root of weight.
v ∝ √W
v = k√W
the proportionality constant depends upon the surface area and the density of the medium (like air). The coffee filters can be stacked such that the resulting area is roughly unchanged. So, the constant of proportionality k is also unchanged
v/√W = constant
v₂/√W₂ = v₁/√W₁
v₂ = v₁√(W₂ / W₁ )
given that;
v₁ = 0.856 m/s,
W₂ = 14W₁; meaning 14 coffee filters have 14 times the weight of a single coffee filter
so we substitute
v₂ = 0.856 √(14W₁ / W₁ )
v₂ = 0.856 √( 14( W₁/W₁)
v₂ = 0.856 √( 14(1)
v₂ = 0.856 √( 14 )
v₂ = 0.856 × 3.741657
v₂ = 3.2 m/s
Therefore, the terminal velocity of 14 nested coffee filters is 3.2 m/s
By collapsing and crumpling, the force and energy is absorbed by the crumple zone and it is not transferred to the passengers inside. This is a safety feature for the passengers.
The answer is above but I don't know if it's correct.
Answer:
t = 4.08 s
R = 40.8 m
Explanation:
The question is asking us to solve for the time of flight and the range of the rock.
Let's start by finding the total time it takes for the rock to land on the ground. We can use this constant acceleration kinematic equation to solve for the displacement in the y-direction:
We have these known variables:
- (v_0)_y = 0 m/s
- a_y = -9.8 m/s²
- Δx_y = -20 m
And we are trying to solve for t (time). Therefore, we can plug these values into the equation and solve for t.
- -20 = 0t + 1/2(-9.8)t²
- -20 = 1/2(-9.8)t²
- -20 = -4.9t²
- t = 4.08 sec
The time it takes for the rock to reach the ground is 4.08 seconds.
Now we can use this time in order to solve for the displacement in the x-direction. We will be using the same equation, but this time it will be in terms of the x-direction.
List out known variables:
- v_0 = 10 m/s
- t = 4.08 s
- a_x = 0 m/s
We are trying to solve for:
By using the same equation, we can plug these known values into it and solve for Δx.
- Δx = 10 * 4.08 + 1/2(0)(4.08)²
- Δx = 10 * 4.08
- Δx = 40.8 m
The rock lands 40.8 m from the base of the cliff.
