What is terminal velocity and how is it reached?

1 answer:

Ber [7]3 years ago

He thermal velocity or thermal speed is a typical velocity of the thermal motion of particles which make up a gas, liquid, etc. Thus, indirectly, thermal velocity is a measure of temperature. Technically speaking it is a measure of the width of the peak in the Maxwell–Boltzmann particle velocity distribution.

The parallel axis theorem relates Icm, the moment of inertia of an object about an axis passing through its center of mass, to I

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Part a)

$I_{end} = \frac{mL^2}{3}$

Part b)

$I_{edge} = \frac{2ma^2}{3}$

Explanation:

As we know that by parallel axis theorem we will have

$I_p = I_{cm} + Md^2$

Part a)

here we know that for a stick the moment of inertia for an axis passing through its COM is given as

$I = \frac{mL^2}{12}$

now if we need to find the inertia from its end then we will have

$I_{end} = I_{cm} + Md^2$

$I_{end} = \frac{mL^2}{12} + m(\frac{L}{2})^2$

$I_{end} = \frac{mL^2}{3}$

Part b)

here we know that for a cube the moment of inertia for an axis passing through its COM is given as

$I = \frac{ma^2}{6}$

now if we need to find the inertia about an axis passing through its edge

$I_{edge} = I_{cm} + Md^2$

$I_{edge} = \frac{ma^2}{6} + m(\frac{a}{\sqrt2})^2$

$I_{edge} = \frac{2ma^2}{3}$

What magnification will be produced by a lens of power –4.00 D (such as might be used to correct myopia) if an object is held 43

kiruha [24]

Answer:

The magnification is $m = 0.3674$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The power of the lens is $P = -4.00 D(dioptre)$

Generally $1 dioptre = 1 \ meter$

The object distance is $u = -43 \ cm$ the negative sign is because the distance is measured in the opposite direction of incident light (i.e away )

Generally the focal length is mathematically represented as

$f = \frac{1}{P}$

=> $f = \frac{1}{4.00 }$

=> $f = 0.25 \ m$

converting to cm

=> $f = 0.25 \ m = 0.25 * 100 = 25 \ cm$

Generally from lens equation we have that

$\frac{1}{f} +\frac{1}{v} -\frac{1}{u}$

=> $\frac{1}{25} +\frac{1}{v} -\frac{1}{-43}$

=> $v = -15.8 \ cm$

Generally the magnification is mathematically represented as

$m = \frac{v}{u}$

=> $m = \frac{- 15.8}{-43}$

=> $m = 0.3674$

What three factors control the path of a surface current

Answer:

Surface currents are controlled by three factors: global winds, the Coriolis effect, and continental deflections. surface create surface currents in the ocean. Different winds cause currents to flow in different directions. objects from a straight path due to the Earth's rotation.

Atmospheric pressure is greater at the base of a mountain than at

aliina [53]

At the top of the mountain, when he tightens the cap onto the bottole, there is some water and some air inside the bottle. Then he brings the bottle down to the base of the mountain.

The pressure on the outside of the bottle is greater than it was when he put the cap on. If anything could get out of the bottlde, it would. But it can't . . . the cap is on too tight. So all the water and all the air has to stay inside, and anything that can get squished into a smaller space has to get squished into a smaller space.

The water is pretty much unsquishable.

Biut the air in there can be <em>COMPRESSED</em>. The air gets squished into a smaller space, and the bottle wrinkles in slightly.
