Answer:
497.00977 N
3742514.97005
Explanation:
= Density of water = 1000 kg/m³
C = Drag coefficient = 0.09
v = Velocity of dolphin = 7.5 m/s
r = Radius of bottlenose dolphin = 0.5/2 = 0.25 m
A = Area
Drag force
The drag force on the dolphin's nose is 497.00977 N
at 20°C
= Dynamic viscosity =
Reynold's Number
The Reynolds number is 3742514.97005
If this case could ever happen, the speed would follow from this formula:
with f the frequency and lambda the wavelength. We are give a wavelength of 10m. The frequencies of the visible light can range between 400 to about 790 Terahertz, so let us pick a middle point of 600 THz ("green-ish") as a "representative."
The speed of such a wave would have to be 6e+15 m/s (which would be 7 orders of magnitude higher than the universal speed of light constant)
