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

2 answers:

7 0

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 first law of thermodynamics can be given as ________.

MrRa [10]

The first law of thermodynamics can be written as
$\Delta U = Q-W$
where
$\Delta U$ is the variation of internal energy of the system
$Q$ is the amount of heat absorbed by the system
$W$ is the work done by the system on the surrounding.

Using this form, the sign convention for Q and W becomes:
Q > 0 --> heat absorbed by the system (because it increases the internal energy)
Q < 0 --> heat released by the system (because it decreases the internal energy)
W > 0 --> work done by the system (for instance, an expansion: when the system expands, it does work on the surrounding, and so the internal energy decreases, this is why there is a negative sign in the formula Q-W)
W < 0 --> work done by the surrounding on the system (for instance, a compression: when the system is compressed, the surrounding is doing work on the system, and so the internal energy of the system increases)

Are the units of the formula ma = mv2/2 dimensionally consistent? Select the single best answer.

Vesnalui [34]

To solve the problem we will simply perform equivalence between both expressions. We will proceed to place your units and develop your internal operations in case there is any. From there we will compare and look at its consistency

$ma = \text{Mass}\times \text{Acceleration}$

$ma = kg \cdot \frac{m}{s^2}$

At the same time we have that

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \text{Mass}\times \text{Velocity}^2$

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = kg ( \frac{m}{s})^2$

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = kg \cdot \frac{m^2}{s^2}$

Therefore there is not have same units and both are not consistent and the correct answer is B.

Relative motion can best be defined as

geniusboy [140]

Relative motion can best be defined as B<span> the motion of one object as it appears to another object.
An example is when you are in a car the car has the actual motion because it is the one moving but you are also moving because of relative motion.</span>
