The mass of a sports car is 1000 kg. The shape of the car is such that the aerodynamic drag coefficient is 0.260 and the frontal

area is 2.10 m2. Neglecting all other sources of friction, calculate the initial acceleration of the car, if it has been traveling at 90 km/h and is now shifted into neutral and is allowed to coast. (Take the density of air to be 1.295 kg/m3.)

Answer:

The initial acceleration is 0,221 m/s^2.

Explanation:

Fcar = Fairfriction\\m*a = 0.5*A*c*density*v^2\\a = 0.5*A*c*density*v^2 / 1000 kg = 0.5*2.10m^2*0.260*1.295kg/m^3*(25 m/s)^2 / 1000 kg = 0,221 m/s^2

Answer:

-0.221m/s^2

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of car=m=1000 kg

Drag coefficient,C_d=0.260

Frontal area,A=2.1 m^2

Speed, v=90 km/h=90\times \frac{5}{18}=25 m/s

1km/h=\frac{5}{18} m/s

Density of air,\rho=1.295 kg/m^3

We know that

Drag force,f_d=-\frac{1}{2}\rho v^2 AC_d

a=\frac{f_d}{m}

Using the formula

a=\frac{-\frac{1}{2}\times (1.295)\times (25)^2\times 2.1\times 0.26}{1000}=-0.221m/s^2

What is the difference between polarization and induction?
nalin [4]
In which it is the plane in which charges move. for example in electromagnetic waves polarization<span> means the plane in which electrons oscillate. ... it is the distribution of electric charges (electron) in an object. </span>induction<span> of charges takes place in some insulators just by some mechanical interaction such as rubbing</span>

Water is returned from earth’s surface to the atmosphere by
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Evaporation

Explanation:

Evaporation is a form of mass tranfer phenomena where by water are moved from the earth surface into the atmosphere as vapours,it is path of the water cycle a decription of the path moved by land water until it turns into rain, humidity,air and temperature are factors that influence evaporation though evaporation can happen at all temperature

How does the sun's gravity and the earth inertia keep us orbiting in the solar system
scZoUnD [109]
<span>Inertia keeps us orbiting because any object with mass has the tendency to resist changes to their direction and speed of movement. Combine that with the interaction of the gravitational attraction of the sun, and that is what keeps Earth in orbit. The sun’s gravitational force is one that is proportional to Earth’s mass, and it acts in a way that is almost exactly perpendicular to Earth’s motion. This keeps Earth from spinning into the sun or far away from it.</span>
