The drag force on a car is given by
where ρ is the density of air (1.23 kg ∕ m3), v is the velocity in units of m ∕ s, A is the projected area of the car (2.5 m2), and CD is the drag coefficient (0.2). The amount of power in watts required to overcome such drag force is P = FDv, and the equivalent horsepower required is Hp = P∕746. Write a

- (Conversion) An object’s polar moment of inertia, J, represents its resistance to twisting. For a cylinder, this moment of inertia is given by this formula: J=mr2/2+m( l 2 +3r 2 )/12misthecylindersmass( kg).listhecylinderslength(m).risthecylindersradius(m). Using this formula, determine the units for the cylinder’s polar moment of inertia.arrow_forwardDuring a journey, a car accelerates from (10 m/s) to (20 m/s) in (5 sec).

During the first 0.15 s the rocket is propelled upward by the rocket engine with a force of 16 N. The rocket then flies up while slowing down under the force of gravity. After it reaches the apex, the rocket starts to fall back down. When its downward velocity reaches 20 m/s, a parachute opens (assumed to open instantly), and the rocket continues to drop at a constant speed of 20 m/s until it hits the ground. Write a program that calculates and plots the speed and altitude of the rocket as a function of time during the flight. SOLVE WITH MATLAB PLEASEarrow_forward

- An aluminum wire having a cross-sectional area equal to 4.60 x 10-6 m? carries a current of 7.50 A. The density of aluminum is 2.70 g/cm³. Assume each aluminum atom supplies one conduction electron per atom. Find the drift speed of the electrons in the wire. 1.95E-4 The equation for the drift velocity includes the number of charge carriers per volume, which in this case is equal to the number of atoms per volume.
