The correct option is option B that wind resistance increases dramatically.

Explanation:

When the speed of an object increases resistance increases drastically because the object pushing through air has obtained a high speed but the air is unable to move out of the way so fast so show it tends to get compressed and oppose the moving object and the object names to put more pressure because some of the pressure goes into cutting air and moving through it.

Answer:

B. increases dramatically

Explanation:

Wind resistance increases dramatically as the speed increases.

Resistance tends to prevent the motion of a body. When speed increases, the particles of air are set into motion and this energizes them. More air gains increased acceleration and they collide with a body. This initiates a resistance against the motion of such body. Therefore, wind resistance increases rapidly as speed increases.

A 70mm long blockhas cross-section of 50mm by 10mm the block is subjected to forces 60KN (tension) on the 50mm by 10mm face and

sammy [17]

Answer:

970 kN

Explanation:

The length of the block = 70 mm

The cross section of the block = 50 mm by 10 mm

The tension force applies to the 50 mm by 10 mm face, F₁ = 60 kN

The compression force applied to the 70 mm by 10 mm face, F₂ = 110 kN

By volumetric stress, we have that for there to be no change in volume, the total pressure applied by the given applied forces should be equal to the pressure removed by the added applied force

The pressure due to the force F₁ = 60 kN/(50 mm × 10 mm) = 120 MPa

The pressure due to the force F₂ = 110 kN/(70 mm × 10 mm) = 157.142857 MPa

The total pressure applied to the block, P = 120 MPa + 157.142857 MPa = 277.142857 MPa

The required force, F₃ = 277.142857 MPa × (70 mm × 50 mm) = 970 kN

A little help please?

A. Made of the marble.

the mass remains constant when you drop the marble but the rest of the variables change as the marble is dropped, therefore, the only constant variable is its mass.

A 60 kg acrobat is in the middle of a 10 m long tightrope. The center of the rope dropped 30 cm in relation to the ends that are

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The tension in each half of the rope, is approximately 4,908.8 N

Explanation:

The mass of the acrobat, m = 60 kg

The length of the rope, l = 10 m

The extent by which the center dropped = 30 cm = 0.3 m

Let, 'T' represent the tension in each half of the rope

Weight, W = Mass, m × The acceleration due to gravity, g

∴ W = m × g

The acceleration due to gravity, g ≈ 9.8 m/s²

∴ The weight of the acrobat, W = 60 kg × 9.8 m/s² ≈ 588 N

The angle the dropped rope makes with the horizontal, θ is given as follows;

θ = arctan((0.3 m)/(5 m)) = arctan(0.06) ≈ 3.434°

At equilibrium, the sum of vertical forces, $\Sigma F_y$ = 0

The vertical component of the tension, $T_y$ , in each half of the rope is given as follows;

$T_y$ = T × sin(θ)

∴ $\Sigma F_y$ = W + T × sin(θ) + T × sin(θ) = W + 2 × T × sin(θ)

Plugging in the values, with θ = arctan(0.06) for accuracy, we get;

588 N + 2 × T × sin(arctan(0.06) = 0

∴ 2 × -T × sin(arctan(0.06) = 588 N

-T= 588 N/(2 × sin(arctan(0.06)) = 4,908.81208 N ≈ 4,908.8 N

The tension in each half of the rope, T ≈ 4,908.8 N.

Water from a vertical pipe emerges as a 10-cm-diameter cylinder and falls straight down 7.5 m into a bucket. The water exits the

cupoosta [38]

The diameter of the column of the water as it hits the bucket is 4.04 cm

The equation of continuity occurs in the fluid system and it asserts that the inflow and the outflow of the volume rate at the inlet and at the outlet of the system are equal.

By using the kinematics equation to determine the speed of the water in the bucket and applying the equation of continuity to estimate the diameter of the column, we have the following;

Using the kinematics equation:

$\mathbf{v_f ^2 = v_i^2 + 2gh}$
