The raindrop has a drag coefficient given by where FD is the drag force acting on the drop and Re is the Reynolds number based on the drop diameter. What is V when ρa = 1.2 kg/m3 , µa = 18 × 10−6 N.s/m2 , and the density of water ρw = 1000 kg/m3 ? The volume of a sphere is given by πD3/6.

- An object falling vertically through the air is subjected to viscous resistance as well as to the force of gravity. Assume that an object with mass m is dropped from a height so and that the height of the object after t seconds is mg s(1) = 8o + where g = 32.17 fus? and k represents the coefficient of air resistance in Ib-s/ft. Suppose so = 300 ft, m = 0.25 lb, and k = 0.1 lb-s/ft. Find, to within 0.01 s, the time it takes this quarter-pounder to hit the ground. Hint: At t=0, s=s(0)=300ft. On the ground s=0. Using Fixed point iteration method with initial guess t0=3 sec, find the solution up to t7.

Accordingto the manufacturer, the BMW 750iL model can go from 0 to 100 km/h in6.7 seconds. This performance is usually measured on a test track. The engine in the car is rated at 243 kW at 5000 rpm. The car has a reported weight of 23 kN . Is the claim by the manufacturer justifiable? Well, to answer this question you may agree it would be more fun to drive toa BMW dealership and take the car for a test run on a racing track. But let us answer this question with the knowledge you have gained so far in this course. We need to make some assumptions first; we can assume that the driver weighs 900 N and the reported weight of the car includes enough gasoline for this test. Next, we convert the speed and the mass values into appropriate units.arrow_forwardA 150 million-kg cargo ship starts from rest. The total force exerted on it by itsengines and hydrodynamic drag (in Newton) can be approximated as a function oftime in second by ΣFt = 937,500 – 0.65t2. Use the principle of impulse andmomentum to determine how fast the ship is moving in 16 minutes.arrow_forward
- Drop-load (I)This exercise is part of a series of problems aimed at modelling a situation by progressively refining our model to consider more and more parameters. This progressive approach is very close to what professional scientists do! Context We want to lower a suspended load in a controlled way so that it hits the ground with a speed whose modulus is not too great. To do this, the suspended load (B) is connected by a rope passing through a pulley to another mass (A), which can move on a horizontal surface. Information The masses of the charges A and B are known.The pulley is a ring of mass mp and radius R that can rotate without friction.The surface on which mass A is placed is horizontal.There is no friction between mass A and the surface on which it is placed.The string attached to mass A is perfectly parallel to the surface on which the mass rests.

Our textbook states that a gallon of gasoline contains 1.2×108 Joules of energy. Assuming 100% efficiency, how many gallons of gasoline would it take to raise the can of soda to 35,000 ft? A calorie is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 Celsius degree (4.186 J). A nutritional Calorie is actually 1000 calories (1 Cal = 1 kcal). How many Calories of energy does it take to raise the can of soda to cruising altitude? Given that a can of Coke is about 140 Calories, how many cans of coke does it take to raise a can of coke to cruising altitude?arrow_forward
