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

you push a coin across a table the coin stops how does this motion relate to balanced and unbalanced forces
-BARSIC- [3]
When you exert a force on the coin, it will accelerate. If you push the coin and it moves at a constant velocity, the friction force must be equal to the force that you are exerting. This is an example of a balanced force. When the net force is greater than 0 N, the is an unbalanced force.

Phantasy [73]

Force equals mass time acceleration. Weight is a force and it can replace force in the equation. The acceleration would be gravity, which is an acceleration.

1.)

Fw (weight) = m (mass) · g (gravity, 9.8 m/s²)

Fw = m * 9.81 m/s²

560N = m · 9.81 m/s²

m ≈ 57.08 kg

2.)

d = 350 meters

t = 65 seconds

velocity = d/t

velocity = 350 meters / 65 seconds

velocity ≈ 5.38 meters/sec

3.)

Force = 35N

Distance = 2 meters

Work = Force · Distance

Work = 35N · 2 meters

Work = 70 J
