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.

7. Imagine you are pushing a 15 kg cart full of 25 kg of bottled water up a 10o ramp. If the coefficient of friction is 0.02, wh
pentagon [3]

Answer:

The frictional force needed to overcome the cart is 4.83N

Explanation:

The frictional force can be obtained using the following formula:

F= \mu R

where \mu is the coefficient of friction = 0.02

R = Normal reaction of the load = mgcos\theta = 25 \times 9.81 \times cos 10 = 241.52N

Now that we have the necessary parameters that we can place into the equation, we can now go ahead and make our substitutions, to get the value of F.

F=0.02 \times 241.52N

F = 4.83 N

Hence, the frictional force needed to overcome the cart is 4.83N

what output force is generated when an input force of 630 n is applied to a machine with a mechanical advantage of 3
Marta_Voda [28]
The mechanical advantage is the factor by which
the machine multiplies the input force.

If the MA is 3 and the input force is 630N, then
the output force is

           (3) x (630N) = 1,890N
