Which of the following describes the formation of air convection currents?

a rocket with a mass of 4kg accelerates up from the ground at a rate of 20ft m/s^2, what is the drag force acting on the rocket

Maru [420]

The drag force acting on the rocket is 80N.

<h3>Give an explanation of drag force?</h3>

The divergence in velocity between the fluid and the item, also known as drag, exerts a force on it. Between the liquid and the solid object, there should be motion. Drag is absent in the absence of motion.

The air molecules are more compressed (pushed together) on the surfaces that are facing the front while being more dispersed (spread out) on the surfaces facing the back. Turbulent flow, which occurs when air layers split from the surface and start to swirl, is what causes this.

The drag force acting on the rocket F = ma

Given,

m = 4kg, a = 20ftm/s²

Substituting m and a values in the above formula,

The drag force acting on the rocket F = 4×20

The drag force acting on the rocket F = 80N.

an ice skater applies a horizontal force to a 20.-kilogram block on frictionless, level ice, causing the block to accelerate uni

stiv31 [10]

The only vertical forces are weight and normal force, and they balance since the surface is horizontal. The horizontal forces are the applied force (uppercase F) in the direction the block slides and the frictional force (lowercase f) in the opposite direction.

Apply Newton's 2nd Law in the horizontal direction:
ΣF = ma
F - f = ma
where f = µmg

F - µmg = ma
F = m(a +µg)
F = (20 kg)(1.4 m/s² + 0.28(9.8 m/s²)

F = 83 N

A .5kg bird is perched on its nest so that it has 50J of potential energy. how far is it off the of the ground?

pshichka [43]

It is 10.20 m from the ground.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>Given:</u>

m = 0.5 kg

PE = 50 J

We know that the Potential energy is calculated by the formula:

$P. E = m \times g \times h$
