Empirical evidence is information acquired by observation or experimentation. This data is recorded and analyzed by scientists and is a central process as part of the scientific method.
As example of not empirical evidence:
Language, letters, words, truths, numbers, logic, mathematics, on and on.
All of these things do not have empirical existence. They exist only in the mind.
Answer:
1.736m/s²
Explanation:
According to Newton's second law;
where;
Fm is the moving force = 70.0N
Ff is the frictional force acting on the body
is the coefficient of friction
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration due to gravity
a is the acceleration/deceleration
The equation becomes;
Substitute the given parameters
Hence the deceleration rate of the wagon as it is caught is 1.736m/s²
Answer:
D. is greater for turbulent flow than for laminar flow
Explanation:
what is friction drag?
- friction drag is a phenomenon experienced when a body moves through a fluid. A practical example can be seen in the mild warmth we experience rubbing the palm's of one's hand together only in this case we are dealing with a solid body and a fluid (e.g air, water). friction drag is directly proportional to the area of the surface in contact with the fluid and increases as velocity increases. We see a practical example of this when the rate at which one rubs the palms together is fast but we use the word turbulent when we are dealing with fluids. Turbulent flow creates more friction drag than laminar flow( Flow between a smooth body and fluid) due to its greater interaction with the surface of the body
- it is important to know that friction is also called viscous drag or skin drag
- I recommend Richardson and coulson vol 2 textbook, page 149, Chemical enginering fluid mechanics textbook by Ron dardy, page 341 for clearer explanation
