Answer:

D. is greater for turbulent flow than for laminar flow

Explanation:

what is friction drag?

  • friction drag is a phenomenon experienced when a body moves through a fluid. A practical example can be seen in the mild warmth we experience rubbing the palm's of one's hand together only in this case we are dealing with a solid body and a fluid (e.g air, water). friction drag is directly proportional to the area of the surface in contact with the fluid and increases as velocity increases. We see a practical example of this when the rate at which one rubs the palms together is fast but we use the word turbulent when we are dealing with fluids. Turbulent flow creates more friction drag than laminar flow( Flow between a smooth body and fluid) due to its greater interaction with the surface of the body
  • it is important to know that friction is also called viscous drag or skin drag
  • I recommend Richardson and coulson vol 2 textbook, page 149, Chemical enginering fluid mechanics textbook by Ron dardy, page 341 for clearer explanation

Label these parts on the wave below: Amplitude, Wavelength, Crest, Trough, Rest Position
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Wavelength is the distance between from one crest to another crest or from one trough to another trough. The amplitude is the distance from the midpoint to the crest or trough. Crest is the highest point of the or a wave. Tough is the lowest point of the or a wave. Rest position is the position where it lies on the midpoint line.

Explanation:

I need a diagram to label these parts.

In Trial III, a different, looser, spring is used; its force constant is 23.1 N/m. The suspended mass is the same as the one in
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

T=0.827s

Explanation:

The period of a spring can be calculated with the equation

T=2\pi w

But we know as well that w is given by,

w=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

Replacing,

w=\frac{2\pi}{T}= \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\\T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{0.4}{23.1}}

So we have that

T=0.827s

2 forces are acting on a body. I forgot the body doesn't it's position or shape, the forces.......a)must be of equal magnitude b
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

only if there is a net force of zero, the body will not move

some people may say B but that is wrong because maybe one force is greater than the other so the object would still move even though the forces are in opposite directions and parallel
