Answer:
Terminal velocity of object = 12.58 m/s
Explanation:
We know that the terminal velocity is attained when drag force and gravitational force are of the same magnitude.
Gravitational force = mg = 80 * 9.8 = 784 N
Drag force =
Equating both, we have
So v = 12.58 m/s or v = -15.58 m/s ( not possible)
So terminal velocity of object = 12.58 m/s
Answer:
P = 7500 [W]
Explanation:
First We must use Newton's second law to find the force. Newton's Second Law tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.
∑F = m*a
where:
m = mass = 150 [kg]
a = acceleration = 5 [m/s²]
We know that the work is determined by multiplying the force by the distance, in this way the units of the work are [N*m] which corresponds to 1 Joule [J].
And the power is determined by dividing the work by the time, in this way we have that [J/s] corresponds to 1 [W].
We must convert the speed from kilometers per hour to meters per second.
where:
P = power [W]
F = force = 750 [N]
v = 10 [m/s]
