notka56 [123]

Answer:

A,)FD= 114.1N

B)Torque=798.5Nm

Explanation:

We can model a pine tree in the forest as having a compact canopy at the top of a relatively bare trunk. Wind blowing on the top of the tree exerts a horizontal force, and thus a torque that can topple the tree if there is no opposing torque. Suppose a tree's canopy presents an area of 9.0 m^2 to the wind centered at a height of 7.0 m above the ground. (These are reasonable values for forest trees.)

If the wind blows at 6.5 m/s, what is the magnitude of the drag force of the wind on the canopy? Assume a drag coefficient of 0.50 and the density of air of 1.2 kg/m^3

B)What torque does this force exert on the tree, measured about the point where the trunk meets the ground?

A)The equation of Drag force equation can be expressed below,

FD =[ CD × A × ρ × (v^2/ 2)]

Where CD= Drag coefficient for cone-shape = 0.5

ρ = Density

Area of of the tree canopy = 9.0 m^2

density of air of = 1.2 kg/m^3

V= wind velocity= 6.5 m/s,

If we substitute those values to the equation, we have;

FD =[ CD × A × ρ × (v^2/ 2)]

F= [ 0.5 × 9.0 m^2 × 1.2 kg/m^3 ( 6.5 m/s/ 2)]

FD= 114.1N

B) the torque can be calculated using below formula below

Torque= (Force × distance)

= 114.1 × 7

= 798.5Nm

At what speed should a ball of mass 2 kg be rolled in order to reach the other side of

Veronika [31]

Answer:

M g H = 1/2 M v^2 potential energy = kinetic energy

v^2 = 2 g H = 2 * 9.80 * 6 = 117.6 m/s^2

v = 10.8 m/s

calculate the efficiency of a light bulb that had an input of 400 j transfers 100j as a light and 300j as heat.

beks73 [17]

Efficiency = useful energy out / total energy in x 100
= 100/400 x 100
=0.25 x 100
= 25%

Your cell phone typically consumes about 390 mW of power when you text a friend. If the phone is operated using a lithium-ion ba

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

I = 0.11 A

Explanation:

In an electric circuit, the power delivered to a load, is just the product of the potential difference between the load terminals, times the current flowing through it, as follows:

$P = V*I$

In this case, the power is the one consumed by the cell phone = 390 mW, and the voltage the one produced by the internal energy of the battery, 3.5 V, neglecting the voltage loss at the internal resistance of the battery.
So, we can solve the above equation for the current I, as follows:

$I = \frac{P}{V} = \frac{0.39W}{3.5V} = 0.11 A$

The current flowing through the cell-phone circuitry is 0.11 A.
