The dominant form of drag experienced by vehicles (bikes, cars, planes, etc.) at operating speeds is called form drag. It increa

ses quadratically with velocity (essentially because the amount of air you run into increases with v and so does the amount of force you must exert on each small volume of air). Thus Fdrag=CdAv2, where A is the cross-sectional area of the vehicle and Cd is called the coefficient of drag.Consider a vehicle moving with constant velocity v . Find the power dissipated by form drag.
A certain car has an engine that provides a maximum power P0. Suppose that the maximum speed of the car, v0, is limited by a drag force proportional to the square of the speed (as in the previous part). The car engine is now modified, so that the new power P1 is 10 percent greater than the original power (P1=110%P0).
Assume the following:
The top speed is limited by air drag.
The magnitude of the force of air drag at these speeds is proportional to the square of the speed.
By what percentage, (v1−v0)/v0, is the top speed of the car increased?

Answer:

the power dissipated   P = cd A v³

The speed increase percentage is 3.79

Explanation:

The power is defined as the change of work by the unit of time, as the work is the product of the force by the distance, we can rewrite the power, where the bold ones indicate vectors and the point is the scalar product.

        P = F .v

In the current case, the force always opposes the speed, so the product is negative, which indicates a dissipative power.

Let's write the dissipation force and calculate

      Fdrag = Cd A v²

      P = Cd A v² v

      P = cd A v³

    this is the power dissipated

Second part

We write the expressions for the dissipated power for Po and P1

       Po = Cd A vo³

       

      P1 = 110 Po

      P1 = Cd A v1³

We replace

     110 Po = Cd A v13

     110 (Cd A Vo³) = Cd A v1³

simplify

     110 Vo3 = v13

     v1 =   ∛110  vo

We look for the one that increases the speed

    (v1-vo) / vo = (∛110 vo-vo) / vo

    (v1-vo) / vo = ∛110 -1

    (v1-vo) / vo = 3.79

The speed increase percentage is 3.79

A snail at position 3 cm moves to position 20 cm in 8 seconds.
natulia [17]

Answer: 17cm.

Explanation:

The equation you're using is:

Δd = df - di

Which means the change in position is equal to the final position minus the starting position. In this case that works out to 20cm - 3cm = 17cm. We're only interested in how much the snail moved, not how long it took to move, so even though they give a time it actually doesn't matter for this question.

Experiment 1: A study is done to determine which of two fuel mixtures allows a rocket to travel farther over a period of time. R
leva [86]

Answer: D

Experiment 1 has a confounding variable related to the mass of the rockets. Any variation in mass may cause a discrepancy in the distance traveled.

This is the answer to the question because:

  • Both experiments do have a confounding variable.
  • Experiment 1 doesn't have to stay constant.
  • A double-blind experiment will not do anything to the placebo.
  • High blood pressure people will not make the results confusing.

The answer has to be the option D. Hope this helps you!

Monochromatic light falls on two very narrow slits 0.048 mm apart. successive fringes on a screen 5.00 m away are 6.5 cm apart n
atroni [7]
In a double-slit interference experiment, the distance y of the maximum of order m from the center of the observed interference pattern on the screen is
y= \frac{m \lambda D}{d}
where D=5.00 m is the distance of the screen from the slits, and 
d=0.048 mm=0.048 \cdot 10^{-3}m is the distance between the two slits.
The fringes on the screen are 6.5 cm=0.065 m apart from each other, this means that the first maximum (m=1) is located at y=0.065 m from the center of the pattern.
Therefore, from the previous formula we can find the wavelength of the light:
\lambda =  \frac{yd}{mD}= \frac{(0.065 m)(0.048 \cdot 10^{-3}m)}{(1)(5.00 m)}=  6.24 \cdot 10^{-7}m

And from the relationship between frequency and wavelength, c=\lambda f, we can find the frequency of the light:
f= \frac{c}{\lambda}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{6.24 \cdot 10^{-7}m}=4.81 \cdot 10^{14}Hz
