Light travels at the speed of 186,000 miles per second. If you were to travel around the earth it would be 7.5 times in a second
Answer:


Explanation:
the maximum speed is reached when the drag force and the weight are at equilibrium, therefore:




To calculate the velocity after 100 meters, we can no longer assume equilibrium, therefore:



(1)
consider the next equation of motion:

If assuming initial velocity=0:
(2)
joining (1) and (2):




(3)





To plot velocity as a function of distance, just plot equation (3).
To plot velocity as a function of time, you have to consider the next equation of motion:

as stated before, the initial velocity is 0:
(4)
joining (1) and (4) and reducing you will get:

solving for v:

Plots:
Answer:
F > W * sin(α)
Explanation:
The force needed for the box to start sliding up depends on the incline (α).
The external forces acting on the box would be the weight, the normal reaction and the lifting force that is applied to make it slide up.
These forces can be decomposed on their normal and tangential (to the slide plane) components.
The weight will be split into
Wn = W * cos(α) (in normal direction)
Wt = W * sin(α) (in tangential direction)
The normal reaction will be alligned with the normal axis, and will be equal to -Wn
N = -W* cos(α) (in normal direction)
To mke the box slide up, a force must be applied, that is opposite to the tangential component of the weight and at least a little larger
F > |-W * sin(α)| (in tangential direction)
