"A raindrop with radius R= 1.6 mm falls from a cloud that is at height h = 1200 m above the ground. The drag coefficient C for the drop is 0.60. Assume that the drop is spherical throughout its fall. The density of water ρw is 1000 kg/m3, and the density of air ρa is 1.2 kg/m3. If you know that the raindrop reaches terminal speed after falling just a few meters. What is the terminal speed?"
a
7.6 m/s
b
9.8 m/s
c
4.6 m/s
d
The data is not enough to calculate the speed
A small box is spun in a horizontal circle on a sheet of ice by a light string. You measure thatat a radius of r the tension in the string is T. You pull the string in a bit such that the box is still spinningat the twice the original linear speed but now at a radius of r/2. What’s the tension in the string at this newradius?

- The accompanying figure shows a frictionless channel in the shape of a segment of a circle with center at "O". The channel has been anchored to a frictionless horizontal table top. You are looking down at the table. Forces exerted by the air are negligible. A ball is shot at high speed into the channel at "p" and exits at "r." Consider the following distinct forces: A downward force of gravity. A force exerted by the channel pointing from q to O. A force in the direction of motion. A force pointing from O to q.
