The terminal velocity is not dependent on which one of the following properties? the drag coefficient 1 the force of gravity 2 c

ahrayia [7]

<h2>Answer: the falling time</h2>

Explanation:

When a body or object falls, basically two forces act on it:

1. The force of air friction, also called "drag force" $D$ :

$D={C}_{d}\frac{\rho V^{2} }{2}A$ (1)

Where:

$C_ {d}$ is the drag coefficient

$\rho$ is the density of the fluid (air for example)

$V$ is the velocity

$A$ is the transversal area of the object

So, this force is proportional to the transversal area of the falling element and to the square of the velocity.

2. Its weight due to the gravity force $W$ :

$W=m.g$

(2)

Where:

$m$ is the mass of the object

$g$ is the acceleration due gravity

So, at the moment when the drag force equals the gravity force, the object will have its terminal velocity:

$D=W$ (3)

${C}_{d}\frac{\rho V^{2} }{2}A=m.g$ (4)

$V=\sqrt{\frac{2m.g}{\rho A{C}_{d}}}$ (5) This is the terminal velocity

As we can see, there is no "falling time" in this equation.

Therefore, the terminal velocity is not dependent on the falling time.

A sphere is charged with electrons to -6 x 10^-6C. How many electrons make up this charge? The elemental charge is 1.6 x 10^-19

just olya [345]

Answer:

$3.75*10^{-13}$ electrons

Explanation:

The total charge Q is the sum of the charge of the N electrons contained in the sphere:

$Q=N*q_{e}$

$q_{e}=-1.6*10^{-19}C$ charge of a electron

We solve to find N:

$N=\frac{Q}{q_{e}}=\frac{-6 x 10^{-6}}{-1.6 x 10^{-19}}=3.75*10^{-13}$

On a dry day, just after washing your hair to remove natural oils and drying it thoroughly, run a plastic comb through it. Small

Hitman42 [59]

When the surface of the comb rubs on your hair, the comb is electrically charged. When the comb comes close to the paper, the charge on the comb causes charge separation on the paper bits. Since paper is neutral, positive and negative charges are equivalent. The charge on the comb charges the area of the bit of paper nearest the comb to the opposite. Thus, the bits of paper become attracted to the comb.
