Does air resistance affect the motion of a falling object differently when the initial velocity of the object is greater?

Yes. Even greater. Air resistance or drag becomes harder the faster an object goes. This is why when cars reach their max speed they don't accelerate as fast, because they are pushing harder against the wind. If I take a tennis ball and shoot it down a bottomless pit, a 400 kph, the drag will slow the ball down till it reaches terminal velocity.

Depends on the object. Is it round? Is it a cube? Air resistance all depends on what kid of surface the object shows when it is falling, thus you have parachutes to stop your velocity from making you go splat.

When the diaphragm contracts , air pressure in the chest increases . True or False ?
nexus9112 [7]

Answer: False

 

When the diaphragm contracts, the muscles will also contract and pull upward and increase the size of the thoracic cavity thus decreases air pressure inside during inspiration. After the diaphragm contracts, it goes to relaxation, the muscles will also relaxed. It gets looser and return to its original position higher up in the chest. This increase the pressure in the chest, which force the air in the lungs out through the nose.

The primary 40-turn coil of an ideal transformer is supplied with 120 V (rms). If the rms voltage output of the secondary coil i
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

No. of turns in secondary coil are 5.

Transformer Type: STEP DOWN TRANSFORMER

Explanation:

The relationship of the no. of turns in transformer secondary and primary coils with their voltages is known as the turn ration. The formula for turns ratio is as follows:

Np/Ns = Vp/Vs

where,

Np = No. of turns in primary coil = 40

Ns = No. of turns in secondary coil = ?

Vp = Voltage supplied to primary coil = 120 V

Vs = Voltage output of secondary coil = 15 V

Therefore,

40/Ns = 120 V/15 V

Ns = 40/8

<u>Ns = 5</u>

TYPE OF TRANSFORMER:

Since, this transformer decreases the voltage value at the output. Hence it is a <u>STEP DOWN TRANSFORMER.</u>

The arrival time of an elevator in a 12-story dormitory is equally likely at any time range during the next 5.5 minutes. (a) Cal
Bumek [7]

Answer:

(a). 2.8 minutes.

(b). 0.4732

Explanation:

Without mincing words, let's dive straight into the solution to the question.

So, for the part (a), the expected arrival time can be calculated as given below.

The distribution falls between the ranges of 0(lower boundary) to 5.5minutes(upper boundary).

Therefore, the expected time = (0 + 5.5)÷ 2 = 2.75 minutes = 2.8 minutes(to 2 decimal places).

(b). The probability that an elevator arrives in less than 2.6 minutes can be calculated as given below;

Recall: We have that the upper boundary = 0 and the lower boundary = 5.5 minutes for the distribution. Also, the upper limit is equal to 2.6 minutes and the lower limits = 0 minutes.

Therefore, 1/ (5.5 - 0) = 1/5.5 = 0.182.

Therefore, the probability that an elevator arrives in less than 2.6 minutes = 0.182 ( 2.6 - 0).

The probability that an elevator arrives in less than 2.6 minutes = ( 0.182 × 2.6).

The probability that an elevator arrives in less than 2.6 minutes = 0.4732.
