rewona [7]3 years ago

A wave can be described as the disturbance of particles in an area. Think about it this way: particles (matter) carry energy. For all the laws of physics to work, this energy must be "traded" somehow. This happens by miniscule vibrations in the particles, which are apparent disturbances. This creates a wave, and therefore a wave is, indeed, a disturbance.<span />

An aluminum cylinder weighing 30 N, 6 cm in diameter and 40 cm long, is falling concentrically through a long vertical sleeve of
Georgia [21]

Answer: Velocity terminal = 0.093m/s

Explanation:

1. We start by evaluating the gap distance between the two cylinders as h = R(sleeve) - R(cylinder)

= (0.0604/2 - 0.06/2)m

= 2×10^-4

Surface are of the cylinder in the drop, which is required in order to evaluate the shearing stress can be expressed as A(cylinder) = π.d.L

= (π×0.06×0.4)m²

= 0.075m²

Since the force of the cylinder's weight is going to balance the shearing force on the walls, we can express the next equation and derive terminal velocity from it.

Shearing stress = u×V.terminal/h = 0.86×V/0.0002

= 4300Vterminal

Therefore, Fw = shearing stress × A

30N = 4300Vterminal × 0.075

V. terminal = 30/4300 m.s

V. terminal = 0.093m/s

Explain what causes something to be a magnet
Luden [163]
Magnetism is the force exerted by magnets when they attract or repel each other. Magnetism is caused by the motion of electric charges. Every substance is made up of tiny units called atoms. Each atom has electrons, particles that carry electric charges.

What is the reaction force for sky diving?
DIA [1.3K]
As the skydiver accelerates she gains momentum, and the air she passes through creates a resistance that pushes back up at her, increasing drag. Eventually, the force of the resisting air balances out with the force of gravity, and the skydiver stops speeding up
