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

Physics

stepan [7]3 years ago

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.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Force is 432.94 N along the rebound direction of ball.

Explanation:

Force is rate of change of momentum.

\texttt{Force}=\frac{\texttt{Final momentum-Initial momentum}}{\texttt{Time}}

Final momentum = 0.38 x -1.70 = -0.646 kgm/s

Initial momentum = 0.38 x 2.20 = 0.836 kgm/s

Change in momentum = -0.646 - 0.836 = -1.472 kgm/s

Time = 3.40 x 10⁻³ s

\texttt{Force}=\frac{\texttt{Final momentum-Initial momentum}}{\texttt{Time}}=\frac{-1.472}{3.40\times 10^{-3}}\\\\\texttt{Force}=-432.94N

Force is 432.94 N along the rebound direction of ball.

kykrilka [37]

Answer: Got It!

<em>Explanation:  </em>let s = speed at launch

v = 0 at top = s sin 63 - g t

so at top

t = s sin 63/g = .0909 s

h = 13.6 = s sin 63 t - 4.9 t^2

13.6 = .081s^2 - .0405 s^2

s^2 = 336

s = 18.3 m/s

A 62.00-cm guitar string under a tension of 70.000 N has a mass per unit length of 0.10000 g/cm. What is the highest resonant fr
quester [9]

Answer:

17,947.02 Hz

Explanation:

length (L) = 62 cm = 0.62 m

tension (T) = 70 N

mass per unit length (μ) = 0.10000 g/cm = 0.010000 kg/m

maximum frequency = 18,000 Hz

f = \frac{n}{2L} x \sqrt{\frac{T}{μ}}

f = \frac{n}{2 x 0.62} x \sqrt{\frac{70}{0.01} }

f = n x 67.47

18,000 = n x 67.47

n = 266.8≈ 266

the 267th overtone is the highest overtone that can be heard by this person, and its frequency would be 26 x 67.47 = 17,947.02 Hz
