Questions And Answers About Air Resistance.

Question 1: What is Air resistance?

Answer: Air resistance is a force that is caused by air. The force acts in the opposite direction to an object moving through the air. A lorry with a flat front will experience high air resistance while a sports car with a streamlined shape will experience lower air resistance, allowing the car to go faster.

Question 2: What causes air resistance?

Answer: Air resistance, also known as drag, is a force that is caused by air, the force acts in the opposite direction to an object moving through the air. It is where air particles hit the front of the object slowing it down. The more surface area, the more air particles hit it and the greater the resistance.

Question 3: How can air resistance be overcome?

Answer: Two ways to reduce air resistance are stated: reducing the area in contact with air (by the cyclist ducking down or cycling behind someone else) and by being more streamlined (wearing smoother surfaces or a more streamlined helmet).

Question 4: What happens when air resistance increases?

Answer: As it gains speed, the object's weight stays the same but the air resistance on it increases. There is a resultant force acting downwards. Eventually, the object's weight is balanced by the air resistance. There is no resultant force and the object reaches a steady speed – this is known as the terminal velocity.

Questions And Answers About Water Resistance.

Question 1: What is Water resistance?

Answer: Water resistance is a type of force that uses friction to slow things down that are moving through water. ... Water resistance occurs because of the particles in the liquid. As an object moves through a liquid, it collides with the particles which cause it to slow down.

Question 2: What causes water resistance?

Answer: Water resistance doesn't have to be just water, however, it can happen to objects moving through any type of fluid. Water-resistance happens because of the particles in water or the fluid. As the object moved through it collides with the particles which try to slow it down.

Question 3: How is water resistance useful?

Answer: Like friction and air resistance, it SLOWS THINGS DOWN, trying to stop them from moving. Water resistance can also be useful at times. When you are swimming and you push against the water with your hands, the water-resistance pushes back and helps you to move forward. This also happens when you use oars to row a boat.

Question 4: Does water-resistant mean waterproof?

Answer: The technical definition of water-resistant is that it's able to resist the penetration of water to a certain degree, but not entirely. Waterproof technically means that it's impermeable to water, no matter how much time it spends in the water.

A ship sets out to sail to a point 120 km due north. an unexpected storm blows the ship to a point 100 km due east of its starti

Pavel [41]

If you draw the problem, it would look like that shown in the attached picture. The total length the ship will now travel can be solved using the Pythagorean theorem. The solution is as follows:

d = √(120)²+(100)²
d = 156.2 km

So, the ship will have to travel 156.2 km to the northwest direction.

If a spring has a spring constant of 1.00 × 10^3 N/m, what is the restoring force when the mass has been displaced 20.0 cm?

never [62]

The spring has a spring constant of 1.00 * 10^3 N/m and the mass has been displaced 20.0 cm then the restoring force is 20000 N/m.

Explanation:

When a spring is stretched or compressed its length changes by an amount x from its equilibrium length then the restoring force is exerted.

spring constant is k = 1.00 * 10^3 N/m

mass is x = 20.0 cm

According to Hooke's law, To find restoring force,

F = - kx

= - 1.00 *10 ^3 * 20.0

F = 20000 N/m

Thus, the spring has a spring constant of 1.00 * 10^3 N/m and the mass has been displaced 20.0 cm then the restoring force is 20000 N/m.

How is temperature related to the physical change of a substance

blagie [28]

Answer:

~~Now, you have left your question very open ended and didn't ask for any particular kind of answer so I'll do my best to get what you're looking for.~~

A physical change in a substance doesn't change what the substance is. It can possibly melt or freeze an object. I mean heat makes things expand while cooling makes them retract.... In chemical change where there is a chemical reaction, a new substance is formed and energy is either given off or absorbed.

Answer:

Speed at which it will reach the ground is given as

$v_f = 46.8 m/s$

Total time for which it will remain in air is given as

t = 6.3 s

Explanation:

As we know that the object is projected upwards with speed

$v_i = 15 m/s$

$g = - 9.81 m/s^2$

now when it will reach the ground then we have

$y = v_y t + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

so we have

$-100 = 15 t - \frac{1}{2}(-9.81) t^2$

$4.905 t^2 - 15 t - 100 = 0$

so we have

$t = 6.3 s$

Now speed of the object when it reaches the ground is given as

$v_f = v_i + at$

$v_f = -15 + (9.81)(6.3)$

$v_f = 46.8 m/s$

A particle moves on a line away from its initial position so that after t hours it is s = 6t2 + 2t miles from its initial positi

docker41 [41]

32 mph
First, let's calculate the location of the particle at t=1, and t=4
t=1
s = 6*t^2 + 2*t
s = 6*1^2 + 2*1
s = 6 + 2
s = 8 t = 4
s = 6*t^2 + 2*t s = 6*4^2 + 2*4
s = 6*16 + 8
s = 96 + 8
s = 104
So the particle moved from 8 to 104 over the time period of 1 to 4 hours. And the average velocity is simply the distance moved over the time spent. So:
avg_vel = (104-8)/(4-1) = 96/3 = 32
And since the units were miles and hours, that means that the average speed of the particle over the interval [1,4] was 32 miles/hour, or 32 mph.
