Like the filters falling through the air, a car on the freeway represents an object with a high Reynolds number traveling throug

h a fluid. If you increase your speed from 50 mph to 75 mph, what is the percent change in the drag force that your car experiences (your fuel consumption will also roughly increase by this same percentage)?

Answer:

ΔF=125.22 %

Explanation:

We know that drag force on the car given as

F_D=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho C_DA v^2

C_D=Drag coefficient

A=Projected area

v=Velocity

ρ=Density

All other quantity are constant so we can say that drag force and velocity can be given as

\dfrac{F_D_1}{F_D_2}=\dfrac{v_1^2}{v_2^2}

Now by putting the values

\dfrac{F_D_1}{F_D_2}=\dfrac{v_1^2}{v_2^2}

\dfrac{F_D_1}{F_D_2}=\dfrac{50^2}{75^2}

\dfrac{F_D_1}{F_D_2}=0.444

Percentage Change in the drag force

\Delta F=\dfrac{F_D_2-F_D_1}{F_D_1}\times 100

\Delta F=\dfrac{F_D_2-0.444F_D_2}{0.444F_D_2}\times 100

\Delta F=\dfrac{1-0.444}{0.444}\times 100

ΔF=125.22 %

Therefore force will increase by 125.22  %.

A person standing still for a long time feels tired because the force of gravity acts on our body and puts stress on our muscles. so our muscles need energy to do work and keep body balanced and help to stand upright.

The distance between two charges a and b is r, and the force between them is F. What is the force between them if the distancbet
Nadusha1986 [10]
See coulomb's law. Force is inversely proportional to the distance squared. So if you multiply r by 2, the force is multiplied by (½)² = ¼.
