What is drag? In what situations might it act on the force of gravity?

2 answers:

Drag is passive, therefore it does not act on gravity. Drag is a mechanical resistance to motion. If the motion in question was induced by gravity drag it can impede that motion, but has no effect on the gravity.

hope this helps!

Answer:

Drag is a force of resistance that acts in fluid motion. When there is relative motion with respect to a fluid, a drag force acts in the opposite direction to the motion. Drag depends on viscosity, compressibility of the fluid and mass of the object.

When the sum of drag force and buoyant force are equal to the downward force of gravity, the object falls with a constant velocity known as terminal velocity.

The equivalent gravitational force is ~

$F \approx1.48\times 10 {}^{ - 7} \: \: N$

$\large \boxed{ \mathfrak{Step\:\: By\:\:Step\:\:Explanation}}$

We know that ~

$\huge\boxed{\mathrm{F = \dfrac{ Gm_1m_2}{ r²}}}$

where,

F = gravitational force

$m_1$ = mass of 1st object = 500 kg

$m_2$ = mass of 2nd object = 20kg

G = gravitational constant = $6.674 × {10}^ {-11}$

r = distance between the objects = 2.12 m

Let's calculate the force ~

$F = \dfrac{6.674 \times 10 {}^{ - 11} \times 500 \times 20}{(2.12) {}^{2} }$

$F = \dfrac{6.674 \times 10 {}^{ - 11} \times 10 {}^{4} }{4.4944}$

$F = \dfrac{6.674}{4.4944} \times 10 {}^{ - 7}$

$F =1.484 \times 10 {}^{ - 7} \: \: newtons$

Choose the sentence that might be found in a personal narrative that correctly uses both a gerund and an infinitive.

Mumz [18]

Let's start with an infinitive: it has a form "to..." - only sentences C and D have a phrase like this, so we can exclude other options.

Among those, C does not have a gerund, which is a verbal form: "dreaming" has a function of a noun there.

So the correct answer is the remaining one, D.
