Answer:

C_d = 0.942

Explanation:

Let's first calculate the angle of inclination.

Formula is;

tan θ = (%slope)

% Slope is given as 12%

Thus;

θ = tan^(-1) (12/100)

θ = 6.843°

Let's now calculate the force due to the weight of the rider and bike combined from;

F = mg sin θ

We are given; m = 100 kg.

Thus;

F = 100 × 9.81 × sin 6.843

F = 116.885 N

The drag force will also be the same as the force due to the weight of the body. Thus;

Drag force; F = C_d(½ρu²A)

Where;

C_d is drag coefficient

ρ is density

U is terminal speed

A is area

We are given;

A = 0.9 m²

U = 15 m/s

From online tables, density of air is approximately 1.225 kg/m³

Thus;

116.885 = C_d(½ × 1.225 × 15² × 0.9)

116.885 = 124.03125C_d

C_d = 116.885/124.03125

C_d = 0.942

Three force vectors are added together. One has a magnitude of 9 N, the second one a magnitude of 18 N, and the third a magnitud
fgiga [73]

Answer:

true I, II and III

Explanation:

The force is a vector quantity, by local it must be added as vectors, we can suppose several cases

.i) the vectors are colonial, so their sum is maximum

       F_max = 9 + 15 + 18

       F_max = 42 N

This is the maximum value

ii) the anti-parallel vectors giving a minimum value

     F_min = 15 + 9-18

     F_min = 6 N

iii) the vectors have angles between them, so we must use the Pythagorean theorem to find the resultant, which is an intermediate value between the two extreme values ​​found.

Let's take a look at each statement

I) True This is the maximum value of the force if all the vectors are colonial

II) True The minimum value is 6 N, so zero can never be reached

III) True these bores are between the maximum values ​​and the direction of the vectors, lower values ​​occur when the forces have angular between them

IV) False. Force can never reach zero

V) False. Several of the above are conclusions of the exercise

Now the elevator is moving downward with a velocity of v = -2.8 m/s but accelerating upward with an acceleration of a = 5.5 m/s2
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

160.75 N

Explanation:

The downward velocity has no effect on the force situation, it is only changes in velocity (plus, of course, gravity, which is always there) that require a force. At constant velocity, the bottom spring s_3 is supporting its mass m_3 to balance gravity.

As the elevator slows, though, it also ends up slowing down the spring arrangement, too. However, because the stretching takes time, it means that some damped harmonic motion will be set up in the spring chain.

When the motion has finally damped out, the net force the bottom spring s3 exerts on m3 has two components--that of gravity and of the deceleration of the elevator:

F_3net = m3 * (g + a) = 10.5×(9.81+5.5)= 10.5×15.31= 160.75 N
