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

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.

Wats another word for DNA?
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Explanation: Other Names for DNA

The threads of double helix DNA are called chromosomes, so you'll often see the two terms used interchangeably. These are also referred to as genes, genetic material or genetic code. DNA is also sometimes called nucleic acid, short for deoxyribonucleic acid.

Sergio [31]
The correct answer is (b.) y/x hertz. That is because the formula to get the frequency is f =  v / w. The following values (v=y meters / second; wavelength = x meters) must be substituted to the equation, which leaves you y/x hertz.

1. why is<br> experimentation so important to science
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: to provide evidence to a theory

A 4.79 g bullet moving at 642.3 m/s penetrates a tree trunk to a depth of 4.35 cm. Use work and energy considerations to find th
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Force, F=2.27\times 10^4\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the bullet, m = 4.79 g = 0.00479 kg

Initial speed of the bullet, u = 642.3 m/s

Distance, d = 4.35 cm = 0.0435 m

To find,

The magnitude of force required to stop the bullet.

Solution,

The work energy theorem states that the work done is equal to the change in its kinetic energy. Its expression is given by :

F.d=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)

Finally, it stops, v = 0

F.d=-\dfrac{1}{2}m(u^2)

F=\dfrac{-mu^2}{2d}

F=\dfrac{-0.00479\times (642.3)^2}{2\times 0.0435}

F = -22713.92 N

F=2.27\times 10^4\ N

So, the magnitude of the force that stops the bullet is 2.27\times 10^4\ N
