Some runners train with parachutes that trail behind them to provide a large drag force. These parachutes are designed to have a

large drag coefficient. One model expands to a square 1.8 mm on a side, with a drag coefficient of 1.4. A runner completes a 240 mm run at 6.0 m/s with this chute trailing behind.

Answer:

by the drag force, 2.4004512 × 10⁻⁵ J is added to the air.

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

drag coefficient of Cd = 1.4

speed v = 6.0 m/s

One model expands to a square 1.8 mm on a side

Area A = 1.8 × 1.8 = 3.24 mm² = 3.24 × 10⁻⁶ m²

distance travelled s = 240 mm = 0.24 m

we know that; density of air e = 1.225 kg/m³

Now,

Dragging force F_D = ( Cd × e × v² × A  ) / 2

thermal energy = F_D × s

so

thermal energy = ( 1.4 × 1.225  × (6)² × (3.24 × 10⁻⁶) × 0.24  ) / 2

thermal energy = ( 4.8009024 × 10⁻⁵ ) / 2

thermal energy = 2.4004512 × 10⁻⁵ J

Therefore,  by the drag force, 2.4004512 × 10⁻⁵ J is added to the air.

Displacement vectors of 4km north, 2km south, 5km north, 5km south combine to a total displacement of
goldfiish [28.3K]

<u>Answer</u>

The combined displacement is 2km north


<u>Explanation</u>


Since displacement is a vector quantity, we take into account the direction.


Good for us all the displacement vectors are in the same dimension, so we can make north positive and south negative or vice-versa.


We now add to obtain,

4+-2+5+-5

This will simplify to

=4-2+5-5=2

Therefore the combined displacement is 2km north

Draw a schematic diagram of a circuit consisting of a battery of five 2 V cells, a 5 ohm resistor, a 10 ohm resistor, a 15 ohm r
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

  • Current = 0.33 A

Explanation:

  • For diagram refer the attachment.

It is given that five cells of 2V are connected in series, so total voltage of the battery:

\dashrightarrow \: \:  \sf V = 2 \times 5 = 10 V

Three resistor of 5\Omega, 10\Omega, 15\Omega are connected in Series, so the net resistance:

\dashrightarrow \: \: \sf R_{n} = R_{1} + R_{2} + R_{3}

\dashrightarrow \: \:  \sf R = 5 + 10 + 15

{ \pink{\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: { \underbrace{R = 30 \:  \Omega}}}}

According to ohm's law:

\dashrightarrow  \sf\: \: V = IR

\dashrightarrow  \sf \: \: I = \dfrac{V}{R}

On substituting resultant voltage (V) as 10 V and resultant resistant, as 30 {\pmb{\sf{\Omega}}} we get:

\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: I = \dfrac{10V}{30\Omega}

{ \pink{\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: { \underbrace{I = 0.33 A}}}}

\thereforeThe electric current passing through the above circuit when the key is closed will be <u>0.33 A</u>
