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 proton is projected toward a fixed nucleus of charge Ze with velocity vo. Initially the two particles are very far apart. When
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

The value is R_f =  \frac{4}{5}  R

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  initial velocity of the  proton is v_o

    At a distance R from the nucleus the velocity is  v_1 =  \frac{1}{2}  v_o

    The  velocity considered is  v_2 =  \frac{1}{4}  v_o

Generally considering from initial position to a position of  distance R  from the nucleus

 Generally from the law of energy conservation we have that  

       \Delta  K  =  \Delta P

Here \Delta K is the change in kinetic energy from initial position to a  position of  distance R  from the nucleus , this is mathematically represented as

      \Delta K  =  K__{R}} -  K_i

=>    \Delta K  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_1^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

=>    \Delta K  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * (\frac{1}{2} * v_o )^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

=>    \Delta K  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * \frac{1}{4} * v_o ^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

And  \Delta  P is the change in electric potential energy  from initial position to a  position of  distance R  from the nucleus , this is mathematically represented as

          \Delta P =  P_f - P_i

Here  P_i is zero because the electric potential energy at the initial stage is  zero  so

             \Delta P =  k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R}  - 0

So

           \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * \frac{1}{4} * v_o ^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2 =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R}  - 0

=>        \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *v_0^2 [ \frac{1}{4} -1 ]  =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R}

=>        - \frac{3}{8}  *  m  *v_0^2  =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R} ---(1 )

Generally considering from initial position to a position of  distance R_f  from the nucleus

Here R_f represented the distance of the proton from the nucleus where the velocity is  \frac{1}{4} v_o

     Generally from the law of energy conservation we have that  

       \Delta  K_f  =  \Delta P_f

Here \Delta K is the change in kinetic energy from initial position to a  position of  distance R  from the nucleus  , this is mathematically represented as

      \Delta K_f   =  K_f -  K_i

=>    \Delta K_f  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_2^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

=>    \Delta K_f  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * (\frac{1}{4} * v_o )^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

=>    \Delta K_f  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * \frac{1}{16} * v_o ^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2

And  \Delta  P is the change in electric potential energy  from initial position to a  position of  distance R_f  from the nucleus , this is mathematically represented as

          \Delta P_f  =  P_f - P_i

Here  P_i is zero because the electric potential energy at the initial stage is  zero  so

             \Delta P_f  =  k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f }  - 0      

So

          \frac{1}{2}  *  m  * \frac{1}{8} * v_o ^2  -  \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *  v_o^2 =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f }

=>        \frac{1}{2}  *  m  *v_o^2 [-\frac{15}{16} ]  =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f }

=>        - \frac{15}{32}  *  m  *v_o^2 =   k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f } ---(2)

Divide equation 2  by equation 1

              \frac{- \frac{15}{32}  *  m  *v_o^2 }{- \frac{3}{8}  *  m  *v_0^2  } }   =  \frac{k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R_f } }{k  *  \frac{q_1 * q_2 }{R } }}

=>           -\frac{15}{32 } *  -\frac{8}{3}   =  \frac{R}{R_f}

=>           \frac{5}{4}  =  \frac{R}{R_f}

=>             R_f =  \frac{4}{5}  R

If the wavelength is doubled what happens to the period​
Temka [501]

Answer: Wave speed may equal frequency*wavelength. Yet doubling the frequency only halves the wavelength; wave speed remains the same. To change the wave speed, the medium would have to be changed. 24. What are some simple steps I can take to protect my privacy online? Many people ... So if you double the frequency and keep the speed constant, the wavelength halves to give the same speed with the doubled frequency. 3.8k views ... The period of a note is 0.3 seconds and the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s. So if you double the frequency and keep the speed constant, the wavelength halves to give the same speed with the doubled frequency. What is the period of a wave if the wavelength is 100m and the speed is 200 m/s? ... If you move towards a light source, the wavelength decreases.

A 12.65 g sample of a radioactive substance is allowed to decay for 17.22 min. At that time, the sample weighed 3.115 g. What is
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

8.61 min

Explanation:

original mass= 12.65

first half life = 12.65/2 = 6.325

second half life = 6.325/2 = 3.1625

Note : 3.1625 is the closest to the value (3.115) given so we work with it

total time for decay =17.22

therefore two decays = 17.22/2= 8.61

(a) See graph in attachment

The appropriate graph to draw in this part is a graph of velocity vs time.

In this problem, we have a horse that accelerates from 0 m/s to 15 m/s in 10 s.

Assuming the acceleration of the horse is uniform, it means that the velocity (y-coordinate of the graph) must increase linearly with the time: therefore, the velocity-time graph will appear as a straight line, having the final point at

t = 10 s

v = 15 m/s

(b) 1.5 m/s^2

The average acceleration of the horse can be calculated as:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time interval

In this problem,

u = 0

v = 15 m/s

t = 10 s

Substituting,

a=\frac{15-0}{10}=1.5 m/s^2

(c) 75 m

For a uniformly accelerated motion, the distance travelled can be calculated by using the suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the distance travelled

u is the initial velocity

t is the time interval

a is the acceleration

In this problem,

u = 0

t = 10 s

a=1.5 m/s^2

Substituting,

s=0+\frac{1}{2}(1.5)(10)^2=75 m

(d) See attached graphs

In a uniformly accelerated motion:

- The distance travelled (x) follows the equation mentioned in part c,

x=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

So, we see that this has the form of a parabola: therefore, the graph x vs t will represents a parabola.

- The acceleration is constant during the motion, and its value is

a=1.5 m/s^2 (calculated in part b)

therefore, the graph acceleration vs time will show a flat line at a constant value of 1.5 m/s^2.
