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.

a DJ uses a 110-volt outlet to plug in a strobe light. if the current flowing through the light is 0.050 amps, how much resistan
tigry1 [53]

Ohms Law: V = IR

V is the voltage in volts

I is the current in amps

R is the resistance in Ohms

Rearrange: R = V/I

R = (110)/(0.050)

R = 2200

There are 2200 Ohms of resistance in the circuit.

A speedboat moving at 28 m/s approaches a no-wake buoy marker 91 m ahead. The pilot slows the boat with a constant acceleration
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

7.5 m/s

Explanation:

We can find its velocity when it reaches the buoy by applying one of Newton's equations of motion:

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

where v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

a = acceleration

s = distance traveled

From the question:

u = 28 m/s

a = -4 m/s^2

s = 91 m

Therefore:

v^2 = 28^2 + 2 * (-4) * 91\\\\v^2 = 784 + -728 = 56\\\\v = \sqrt{56}\\ \\v = 7.5 m/s

The velocity of the boat when it reaches the buoy is 7.5 m/s.

A mass m is tied to an ideal spring with force constant k and rests on a frictionless surface. The mass moves along the x axis.
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:x=\frac{x_m}{\sqrt{2}}

Explanation:

Given

initially mass is stretched to x_m

Let k be the spring Constant of spring

Therefore Total Mechanical Energy is \frac{kx_m^2}{2}

Position at which kinetic Energy is equal to Elastic Potential Energy

K=\frac{mv^2}{2}

U=\frac{kx^2}{2}

it is given

k=U

thus 2U=\frac{kx_m^2}{2}

2\times \frac{kx^2}{2}=\frac{kx_m^2}{2}

2x^2=x_m^2

x=\frac{x_m}{\sqrt{2}}
