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.

A firefighter with a weight of 707 N slides down a vertical pole with an acceleration of 2.79 m/s2, directed downward. (a) What
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The vertical force acting on the firefighter = 908.27 N

Explanation:

Force: Force of a body is defined as the product of mass and its acceleration. The S.I unit of force is Newton (N)

The vertical force acting on the firefighter = Force due to the weight of the firefighter + force due to acceleration.

Ft = Fw - Fa

Where Ft = The vertical force acting on the firefighter, Fw = Force due to the weight of the firefighter, Fa = force due to acceleration.

Fw = mg

Making m the subject of formula in the equation above

m = Fw/g................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the firefighter, g = acceleration due to gravity,

<em>Given: Fw = 707 N, </em>

<em> Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²</em>

Substituting these values into eqaution 1

m = 707/9.8

m = 72.14 kg.

But, Fa = ma

Where a = acceleration of the firefighter.

<em>Given: a = 2.79 m/s², </em>

<em>And m = 72.14 kg</em>

Fa = 72.14 × 2.79

Fa = 201.27 N

Therefore, Ft = 707 + 201.27  = 908.27 N

Ft = 908.27 N

The vertical force acting on the firefighter = 908.27 N

A 0.5 kg block of aluminum (caluminum=900J/kg⋅∘C) is heated to 200∘C. The block is then quickly placed in an insulated tub of co
Genrish500 [490]

Answer: When 1.0kg of aluminium block is used, the final temperature of the mixture will be T = 36.2∘C

If 1.0kg copper block is used, T of the mixture will be = 17.4∘C

If 100g (0.1kg) of ice at 0∘C is used, T will be = 64.9∘C

If 25g (0.025Kg) of ice is used, T will be= 147.1∘C

Explanation:

H = mcΘ

heat lost by block = heat gained by water

m₁c₁Θ₁ = m₂c₂Θ₂ where m₁ is mass of aluminium, m₂ is mass of water, c₁ is cAluminium, c₂ is cWater, Θ₁ is temperature change for aluminium, Θ₂ is temperature change for water.

0.5*900*(200-20) = m₁*4186*(20-0)

m₁ = 450*180/83270

<em>m₁ = 0.973kg</em>

<em>when 1.0kg of aluminium block is used, the final temperature of the mixture will be </em><em>T</em>

heat lost by block = heat gained by water

1.0*900*(200-T) = 0.973*4186*(T-0)

180000 - 900T = 4073T

4973T = 180000

T = 180000/4973 = 36.2∘C

<em>If 1.0kg copper block is used, T of the mixture will be</em>

heat lost by block = heat gained by water

1.0*387*(200-T) = 0.973*4186*(T-0)

77400 - 387T = 4073T

4460T = 77400

T = 77400/4460 = 17.4∘C

<em>If 100g (0.1kg) of ice at 0∘C is used, T will be</em>

<em>heat lost by block = heat gained by water + heat used in melting ice to form water at 0∘C</em>

heat used in melting 0.1kg of ice, H = ml, where l= 33600J/Kg

0.5*900*(200-T) = 0.1*4186*(T-0) + 0.1*33600J/Kg

90000 - 450T =  418.6T + 33600

418.6T + 450T = 90000 - 33600

868.6T = 56400

T = 56400/868.6 = 64.9∘C

If 25g (0.025Kg) of ice is used, T will be

0.5*900*(200-T) = 0.025*4186*(T-0) + 0.025*33600J/Kg

90000 - 450T =  104.65T + 8400

104.65T + 450T = 90000 - 8400

554.65T = 81600

T = 81600/554.65 = 147.1∘C

The kinetic energy of a 10 Kg ball rolling at 10 meters per second is how many joules
Ulleksa [173]

Answer: 500 joules

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of ball = 10kg

kinetic energy = ?

velocity of the ball = 10m/s

Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object. It is measured in joules, and depends on the mass (m) of the object and the velocity (v) by which it moves

i.e K.E = 1/2mv²

K.E = 1/2 x 10kg x (10m/s)²

K.E = 0.5 x 10kg x (10m/s)²

K.E = 5 x 100

K.E = 500 joules

Thus, the kinetic energy of the ball is 500 joules

Which of the following can only be a situation of increasing temperature?
Papessa [141]

Increasing the temperature causes an increase in the average kinetic energy of the particles of a material.

<h3>What is average kinetic energy of particles?</h3>

The average kinetic energy of particles is the energy possessed by particles due to their constant motion.

The constant motion of particles occurs due to the energy acquired by the particles, when the temperature of the particles increases, the average kinetic energy increases which in turn increases the speed of the particles.

Thus, we can conclude that, increasing the temperature causes an increase in the average kinetic energy of the particles of a material.
