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  %.

Newton's first law of motion gives the concept of force moment ​
Furkat [3]

Answer:

Hey there

Where trying to say that:

Newton's first law gives the concept of force and momentum?

That's false if that's is what you said.

Newton's first law tells us that objects in motion will remain in motion and objects at rest will remain at rest.

Newton's second law gives us the concept of force and momentum.

Which of the following examples illustrates static friction?
vivado [14]

Answer:

A box sits stationary  on a ramp

Explanation:

Static friction is a force which keeps an object at rest as it is in the case of the box. It has to be overcome for the object to be set into motion.

Static force of friction is calculated as follows:

F= μη

F is static force of friction.

μ is the coefficient of static friction.

η is the normal force.

A yellow train of mass 100 kg is moving at 8 m/s towards an orange train of mass 200 kg traveling on the opposite direction on t
vladimir1956 [14]
Mass of yellow train, my = 100 kg

Initial Velocity of yellow train, = 8 m/s

mass of orange train = 200 kg

Initial Velocity of orange train = -1 m/s (since it moves opposite direction to the yellow train, we will put negative to show the opposite direction)

To calculate the initial momentum of both trains, we will use the principle of conservation of momentum which

The sum of initial momentum = the sum of final momentum


Since the question only wants the sum of initial momentum,

(100)(8) + (200)(-1) = 600 m/s
