Give estimation on weight and area of a typical car.
(a)
Answer to Problem 40PQ
A typical car can have weight around
Explanation of Solution
The average of weight of car can be taken as two thousand pounds. Express two thousand pounds in kilogram.
Normally a car can have

Answer to Problem 40PQ
Graph of
Explanation of Solution
The graph of
Write the equation for drag force.
Here,
Substitute
The equation tells that the drag force is varying with the square of speed of car. It can be seen that the graph is also conveying the same result. Graph shows that
Conclusion:
Therefore, the graph of
(c)
The value of Rolling

Answer to Problem 40PQ
Rolling frictional force is
Explanation of Solution
Write the equation to find the rolling friction.
Here,
Conclusion:
Substitute
It can be seen that
Therefore, the rolling frictional force is
(d)
The speed at which drag force equals rolling frictional force and the range of speed which the drag force can be neglected.
(d)
Answer to Problem 40PQ
The speed at which drag force equals rolling frictional force is
Explanation of Solution
Equate the right hand sides of equations (1) and (II).
Rewrite the above expression in terms of
It can be seen that lower speeds, drag force will be lesser than rolling frictional force. So drag force can be neglected at lower speed. It is better to limit the speed within
Conclusion:
Therefore, the speed at which drag force equals rolling frictional force is

A. the time it takes each ball to travel down the ramp B. the thickness of the ramp and the size of the balls ol vew o ai terw C. the distance that each ball travels down the ramp Segen D. the heat that is made when each ball travels down the ramparrow_forwardAn airplane passenger has a volume V1 of air in his stomach just before the plane takes off from a sea-level airport. a. What volume will this quantity of air have at cruising altitude at the same temperature (body temperature), in terms of V1, the pressure on the ground P1, and the cabin pressure at cruising altitude P2? b. What is this volume, in cubic centimeters, if the initial volume is 95 cm3 and the cabin pressure drops to 7.50 × 104 Pa when the plane is at cruising altitude?arrow_forwardC. Newton's law of universal gravitation states that two particles exert a pull on each other with magnitude F, ([kg - m/s]) that is proportional to the product of their masses mi ([kg]) and m: ([kg]) and inversely proportional to the square of their separation d ([m]). Write down an equation for Newton's law of universal gravitation and determine the Sl unit of all the proportionality constants you used.arrow_forward
