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  %.

Determine the gravitational field 300km above the surface of the earth. How does this compare to the field on the earth's surfac
Serjik [45]
The strength of the gravitational field is given by:
g= \frac{GM}{r^2}
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth's mass
r is the distance measured from the centre of the planet.

In our problem, we are located at 300 km above the surface. Since the Earth radius is R=6370 km, the distance from the Earth's center is:
r=R+h=6370 km+300 km=6670 km= 6.67 \cdot 10^{6} m

And now we can use the previous equation to calculate the field strength at that altitude:
g= \frac{GM}{r^2}= \frac{(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})(5.97 \cdot 10^{24} kg)}{(6.67 \cdot 10^6 m)^2}  = 8.95 m/s^2

And we can see this value is a bit less than the gravitational strength at the surface, which is g_s = 9.81 m/s^2.

You push a coin across a table. The coin stops. How does this motion relate to balanced and unbalanced forces?
Snezhnost [94]
If you are pushing the coin across the table at a constant rate, the friction of the table and the horizontal force of your hand pushing are equal, and the coin itself moves at a constant rate. If you push a coin and let it go, there is no horizontal force keeping the coin going. Friction slows the coin to a stop. In both cases, the gravitational downward pull of Earth is equally but oppositely resisted by the upward push of table on the coin.
