Imagine you have a collection of identical flat-bottomed coffee filters that can be nested (stacked inside of each other) so tha

t the resulting area is roughly unchanged. The terminal velocity of one coffee filter is measured to be 0.856 m/s. What is the terminal velocity of 14 nested coffee filters

Answer:

the terminal velocity of 14 nested coffee filters is 3.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that;

The terminal velocity is proportional to the square root of weight.

v ∝ √W

v = k√W

the proportionality constant depends upon the surface area and the density of the medium (like air). The coffee filters can be stacked such that the resulting area is roughly unchanged. So, the constant of proportionality k is also unchanged

v/√W = constant

v₂/√W₂ = v₁/√W₁

v₂ = v₁√(W₂ / W₁ )

given that;

v₁ = 0.856 m/s,

W₂ = 14W₁; meaning 14 coffee filters have 14 times the weight of a single coffee filter

so we substitute

v₂ = 0.856 √(14W₁  / W₁ )

v₂  = 0.856 √( 14( W₁/W₁)

v₂  = 0.856 √( 14(1)

v₂  = 0.856 √( 14 )

v₂  = 0.856 × 3.741657

v₂  = 3.2 m/s

Therefore, the terminal velocity of 14 nested coffee filters is 3.2 m/s

A car slows down from 27.7 m/s <br> to 10.9 m/s in 2.37 s. <br> What is its acceleration?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

- 7.088 m/s²

Explanation:

As we know that,

★ Acceleration = Change in velocity/Time

→ a = (v - u)/t

Here,

  • Initial velocity (u) = 27.7 m/s
  • Final velocity (v) = 10.9 m/s

→ a = (10.9 m/s - 27.7 m/s)/2.37 s

→ a = -16.8/2.37 m/s²

→ <u>a</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>-</u><u>7</u><u>.</u><u>0</u><u>8</u><u>8</u><u> </u><u>m/s²</u> [Answer]

Negative sign denotes that the velocity is decreasing.

Speed of light 

According to Einstein, the speed of light is constant in all points of reference.  In addition, he pointed out the speed of light is the maximum speed known since in practice one can never catch up with the beam of light. This is explained by his theory of relativity.
