Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the golf ball, m = 46 g = 0.046 kg
Terminal speed of the ball, v = 44 m/s
The drag force,
Where, C is the drag coefficient. At terminal speed, the weight of the ball is balanced by the drag force.
Hence, this is the required solution.
The coefficient of friction is missing and it has a value of μ = 0.4
Answer:
a = 3.924 m/s²
Explanation:
I've attached the kinematic free body diagram.
Taking the sum of all upward and downward forces,
EFy = 0;
N1 + N2 - m_p•g - m_v•g = 0
N1 + N2 = m_p•g + m_v•g
Where;
N1 and N2 are the normal reactions at the wheels
m_p is the mass of the driver
m_v is the mass of the vehicle
g is the acceleration due to gravity.
Plugging in the relevant values in the question,we obtain;
N1 + N2 = (385 + 75) x 9.81
N1 + N2 = 4512.6N - - - (eq1)
Now, taking sum of all horizontal forces;
EFx = (m_p + m_v) x a
So,
μ(N1 + N2) = (mp + mv) x a
Thus,
0.4(N1 + N2) = (385 + 75)a
0.4(N1 + N2) = 460a
N1 + N2 = 1150a
From eq(1),N1 + N2 = 4512.6N
Thus,
1150a = 4512.6N
a = 4512.6/1150
a = 3.924 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration, a = 3.924 m/s²
