Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 4AC
Wind tunnels are used to measure the aerodynamic properties of prototype models. (a) If a fan generates a wind speed of 25.0 mi/h inside an 8.75-ft2 section of a wind tunnel, what is the wind speed as the air enters the narrower, 4.35-ft2 section of the wind tunnel? (b) Explain why it is often windier on city streets surrounded by tall buildings than in more open areas.

Consider the situation in the figure below; a neutral conducting ball hangs from the ceiling by an insulating string, and a charged insulating rod is going to be placed nearby.
A. First, if the rod was not there, what statement best describes the charge distribution of the ball?
1) Since it is a conductor, all the charges are on the outside of the ball. 2) The ball is neutral, so it has no positive or negative charges anywhere. 3) The positive and negative charges are separated from each other, but we don't know what direction the ball is polarized. 4) The positive and negative charges are evenly distributed everywhere in the ball.
B. Now, when the rod is moved close to the ball, what happens to the charges on the ball?
1) There is a separation of charges in the ball; the side closer to the rod becomes positively charged, and the opposite side becomes negatively charged. 2) Negative charge is drawn from the ground (via the string), so the ball acquires a net negative charge. 3)…

The hypotenuse,r, is 100cm (given) and a height, y, is 3.5 cm (given). How do I find the Angle θ1? And, for distance traveled, s, would all be 100cm? For my first observations I recorded four trials in seconds: 1 - 2.13s, 2 - 2.60s, 3 - 2.08s, & 4 - 1.95s. This would all go in the coloumn for time right?
