8. A 2 kg flower pot weighing 20 N falls from a window ledge.
1 answer:
The force of the air resistance is 4 N.
The given parameters;
- mass of the flower pot, m = 2 kg
- weight of the flower pot, W = 20 N
Let the air resistance = F
Apply Newton's second law of motion to determine the force of the air resistance acting upward to oppose the motion of the pot falling downwards.
Thus, the force of the air resistance is 4 N.

Take the missile's starting position to be the origin. Assuming the angles given are taken to be counterclockwise from the positive horizontal axis, the missile has position vector with components
The missile's final position after 9.20 s has to be a vector whose distance from the origin is 19,500 m and situated 32.0 deg relative the positive horizontal axis. This means the final position should have components
So we have enough information to solve for the components of the acceleration vector, and
:
The acceleration vector then has direction where
Answer:
- a) See explanation below
- b) At X.
Explanation:
Please, see the picture attached with the image of the plastic bottle for this question.
<u>(a) Explain why the water could not flow out of the bottle.</u>
What makes the water flow out of the botlle is the force of gravity, whic attracts the water towards the Earth.
When Johnson made a small hole at the bottom of the plastic bottle containing water, the air outside the bottle, which surrounds it and exerts a pressure all over the outer walls of the bottle, exerted a force against the small area of water "over" the hole that is in contact with the air.
Thus, this force of the air pushing upward through the wall opposed the force of gravity pulling downward making the net force zero and the water cannot fall.
<u>(b) To make the water flow out more easily, his teacher suggested making another hole. At which position - X, Y or Z, should he make the 2nd hole in order for the water to flow out the fastest?</u>
You must open the hole at a place where there is not water but air, such that the outer air can enter in the bottle.
That will make that the pressure in the space over the water inside the bottle be equal to the pressure outside.
The pressure of the air above the water will push it downward. Now, the force from the pressure of air inside the water, which is downward, opposes the upward force from the pressure of air around the first hole, and the net force will be downward, making the water flow out more easily.
Thus, the position where he should make the second hole in order for the water to flow fastest is at X.
