Answer:

q = 0.384 C

Explanation:

The total charge present at the head can be easily found out by multiplying the charge on a single electron with the total number of electrons present on the head:

q = ne

where,

q = total charge on head = ?

n = total no. of electrons on the head = 2.4 x 10¹⁸

e = charge on 1 electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Therefore,

q = (2.4\ x\ 10^{18})(1.6\ x\ 10^{-19}\ C)

<u>q = 0.384 C</u>

The drag force pushes opposite your motion as you ride a bicycle. If you double your speed, what happens to the drag force?
timurjin [86]

Answer: The drag force goes up by a factor of 4

Explanation:

The <u>Drag Force</u> equation is:

F_{D}=\frac{1}{2}C_{D}\rho A_{D}V^{2} (1)

Where:

F_{D} is the Drag Force

C_{D} is the Drag coefficient, which depends on the material

\rho is the density of the fluid where the bicycle is moving (<u>air in this case) </u>

A_{D} is the transversal area of the body or object

V the bicycle's velocity

Now, if we assume C_{D}, \rho and A_{D} do not change, we can rewrite (1) as:

F_{D}=C.V^{2} (2)

Where C groups all these coefficients.

So, if we have a new velocity V_{n} , which is the double of the former velocity:

V_{n}=2V (3)

Equation (2) is written as:

F_{D}=C.V_{n}^{2}=C.(2V)^{2}

F_{D}=4CV^{2} (4)

Comparing (2) and (4) we can conclude<u> the Drag force is four times greater when the speed is doubled.</u>

zzz [600]

Answer:0.38

Explanation:

the formula is f = c / λ

so f= 2.5/6.5

and that equals 0.38 46 and so on so i just rounded it

Help please:Calculate the mechanical energy of a bird flying at a speed of 10 m / s at an altitude of 15 m. If its mass is 150 g
Sonja [21]

Mass of the bird(m) = 150 g = 0.15 kg

Speed (v) = 10 m/s

Kinetic Energy = \frac{1}{2}m v^{2} = \frac{1}{2} 0.15 (10)^{2} = 7.5 J

Altitude (h) = 15 m

Gravitational Potential Energy = (0.15)(9.81)(15) = 22.0725 J

Mechanical Energy = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy = 7.5 + 22.0725

= 29.5725 J
