Explain the relationship between air resistance and gravitational acceleration on a falling object

1 answer:

7 0

Air resistance, also called drag, acts upon a falling body by slowing the body down to thr point where it stops accelerating, and it falls at a constant speed, known as the terminal volocity of a falling object. Air resistance depends on the cross sectional area of the object, which is why the effect of air resistance on a large flat surfaced object is much greater than on a small, streamlined object.

The battery for a certain cell phone is rated at 3.70 V. According to the manufacturer it can produce math]3.15 \times 10^{4} J[

AysviL [449]

Answer:

The average current that this cell phone draws when turned on is 0.451 A.

Explanation:

Given;

voltage of the phone, V = 3.7 V

electrical energy of the phone battery, E = 3.15 x 10⁴ J

duration of battery energy, t = 5.25 h

The power the cell phone draws when turned on, is the rate of energy consumption, and this is calculated as follows;

$P = \frac{E}{t}$

where;

P is power in watts

E is energy in Joules

t is time in seconds

$P = \frac{3.15*10^4}{5.25*3600s} = 1.667 \ W$

The average current that this cell phone draws when turned on:

P = IV

$I = \frac{P}{V} =\frac{1.667}{3.7} = 0.451 \ A$

Therefore, the average current that this cell phone draws when turned on is 0.451 A.

First off, you need to know the weight of the projectile, lift and drag coefficients something like a high Reynolds number is preferred, then use the gravitational constant of 9.8 meters per second squared those would be a good start to get closer to your goal
