A 1/17th scale model of a new hybrid car is tested in a wind tunnel at the same Reynolds number as that of the full-scale protot

ype. The drag coefficient of the model is the same as that of the prototype. Assuming the model and prototype are both tested in air, find the ratio of the drag on the scale model (Fm) to the drag on the prototype (Fp), i.e., Fm/Fp. Since the size of the model is 1/17th of the size of the prototype, the projected area of the model is (1/17)2 of the projected area of the prototype. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer:

The ratio of the drag coefficients \dfrac{F_m}{F_p} is approximately 0.0002

Step-by-step explanation:

The given Reynolds number of the model = The Reynolds number of the prototype

The drag coefficient of the model, c_{m} = The drag coefficient of the prototype, c_{p}

The medium of the test for the model, \rho_m = The medium of the test for the prototype, \rho_p

The drag force is given as follows;

F_D = C_D \times A \times  \dfrac{\rho \cdot V^2}{2}

We have;

L_p = \dfrac{\rho _p}{\rho _m} \times \left(\dfrac{V_p}{V_m} \right)^2 \times \left(\dfrac{c_p}{c_m} \right)^2 \times L_m

Therefore;

\dfrac{L_p}{L_m}  = \dfrac{\rho _p}{\rho _m} \times \left(\dfrac{V_p}{V_m} \right)^2 \times \left(\dfrac{c_p}{c_m} \right)^2

\dfrac{L_p}{L_m}  =\dfrac{17}{1}

\therefore \dfrac{L_p}{L_m}  = \dfrac{17}{1} =\dfrac{\rho _p}{\rho _p} \times \left(\dfrac{V_p}{V_m} \right)^2 \times \left(\dfrac{c_p}{c_p} \right)^2 = \left(\dfrac{V_p}{V_m} \right)^2

\dfrac{17}{1} = \left(\dfrac{V_p}{V_m} \right)^2

\dfrac{F_p}{F_m}  = \dfrac{c_p \times A_p \times  \dfrac{\rho_p \cdot V_p^2}{2}}{c_m \times A_m \times  \dfrac{\rho_m \cdot V_m^2}{2}} = \dfrac{A_p}{A_m} \times \dfrac{V_p^2}{V_m^2}

\dfrac{A_m}{A_p} = \left( \dfrac{1}{17} \right)^2

\dfrac{F_p}{F_m}  = \dfrac{A_p}{A_m} \times \dfrac{V_p^2}{V_m^2}= \left (\dfrac{17}{1} \right)^2 \times \left( \left\dfrac{17}{1} \right) = 17^3

\dfrac{F_m}{F_p}  = \left( \left\dfrac{1}{17} \right)^3= (1/17)^3 ≈ 0.0002

The ratio of the drag coefficients \dfrac{F_m}{F_p} ≈ 0.0002.

The description below represents Function A and the table represents Function B: Function A The function is 2 more than 5 times
Vlad [161]

Answer:

The slope of Function A is greater than the slope of function B  while the y-intercept of Function  B is greater than the y-intercept of function A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Function A is f(x) = 5x + 2

The slope is 5 and the y-intercept is (0, 2).

Function B. The slope is  (5-2) / (0- -1) = 3.

also (8-5) / (1 - 0) = 3

The slope is 3.

The y-intercept is at (0, 5) because one point on the graph is (0, 5).

Alice and her sister picked 57 and 23 roses respectively. How many roses should Alice give to her sister to have the same number
tino4ka555 [31]

If you add up 57+23=80 40+40=80 so 40 is the answer they will have the same amount Alice gets 40 and her sister gets 40

Which expressions are equal to a(6−2a) ?Select each correct answer.
marysya [2.9K]

Answer: e. 6a-2a^{2}


Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have the following expression given in the problem:

a(6-2a)

2. To solve the exercise and find an equal expression, you must simplify that expression. Apply the Distributive property. Multiply the terms inside the parentheses by a. Then, you obtain:

a(6-2a)=(a)(6)-(a)(2a)=6a-2a^{2}
