How does surface area affect the amount of air resistance an object experiences?

Physics
1 answer:
Ymorist [56]2 years ago
6 0
The greater the cross-sectional area of an object, the greater the amount of air resistance it encounters since it collides with more air molecules. ... It will have to accelerate for a longer period of time before there is enough upward air resistance to balance the downward force of gravity.

A dragster runs the quarter mile in 8.96 s. What is the car's velocity (in ft/s) at the finish line?
lara [203]
The first thing you should know to answer this question is the following conversion:
 1mi = 5280feet
 We have then that the speed is:
 v = ((1/4) * (5280)) / (8.96)
 v = 147.32 feet / s
 Answer:
 the car's velocity (in ft / s) at the finish line is 147.32 feet / s

You send a beam of light from a material with index of refraction 1.21 into an unknown material. In order to help identify this
White raven [17]

Answer:

refractive index of the unknown material is 1.33.

Explanation:

μ₁ = 1.21

incidence angle (i) = 41.9°

refraction angle (r) = 37.3°

Let us assume μ be the refractive index of the unknown material

according to snell's law of refraction.

μ₁ sin i = μ₂ sin r

1.21 × sin 41.9° =  μ × sin 37.3°

μ = 1.33

hence the refractive index of the unknown material comes out top be 1.33
