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

Physics
1 answer:
Ymorist [56]3 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.

Question 6 of 15
ladessa [460]

Answer: A) True, you are correct

==================================================

Explanation:

Power in physics is defined as

power = (change in work)/(change in time)

which shows that power is basically the rate of work done. We can think of it like a speed of sorts.

------------

For example, if you apply 100 joules of work over 2 seconds, then,

power = (100 joules)/(2 seconds)

power = (100/2) joules per second

power = 50 watts

A watt is defined to be a joule per second, and it's often used to measure how much electricity is consumed, but it has broader uses in physics as well.

Even when shut down after a period of normal use, a large commercial nuclear reactor transfers thermal energy at the rate of 150
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The temperature of the core raises by 2.8^{o}C every second.

Explanation:

Since the average specific heat of the reactor core is 0.3349 kJ/kgC

It means that we require 0.3349 kJ of heat to raise the temperature of 1 kg of core material by 1 degree Celsius

Thus reactor core whose mass is 1.60\times 10^{5}kg will require

0.3349\times 1.60\times 10^{5}kJ\\\\=0.53584\times 10^{5}kJ

energy to raise it's temperature by 1 degree Celsius in 1 second

Hence by the concept of proportionately we can infer 150 MW of power will increase the temperature by

\frac{150\times 10^{6}}{0.53584\times 10^{8}}=2.8^{o}C/s

Imagine two starts are exactly the same size, but one of the stars to greater mass than the other.which star will burn out all o
Neko [114]

Answer:

The larger star will burn out faster. as nuclear fuel is burned out due to higher percentage being consumed.

Explanation:

Gravity on the other hand is only affected a little during this process and mass use. Solar mass loss is caused by mass that is turned into energy (E=mc²), but also by the material that is lost to the solar wind.
