An object moving in a liquid experiences a linear drag force:
a. Find an algebraic expression for vx(t), the x-component of velocity as a function of time, for a spherical particle of radius R and mass m that is shot horizontally with initial speed v0through a liquid of viscosity ?.
b. Water at 20°C has viscosity ? = 1.0 × 10-3 N s/m2. Suppose a 4.0-cm-diameter, 33 g ball is shot horizontally into a tank of 20°C water. How long will it take for the horizontal speed to decrease to 50% of its initial value?

(a) The man hears the sound of the splash 2.40 s after he releases the rock from rest. The speed of sound in air (at the ambient temperature) is 336 m/s. How far below the top of the well is the surface of the water? (b) What If? If the travel time for the sound is ignored, what percentage error is introduced when the depth of the well is calculated?arrow_forward

Find the angle (in degrees) of the slope down which this skier could coast at a constant velocity. (You can neglect air resistance, and you will find the equation for the acceleration of any object down an incline where fk = μkN, a = g(sin(θ) − μk cos(θ)), to be useful.)arrow_forwardA cylindrical container is being filled with water at a rate of 10π cubic meters per minute.

What is the minimum travel time for the lifeguard in terms of r and v?arrow_forward
- a.) A soccer player kicks a rock horizontally off a 30 m high cliff into a pool of water. If the player hears the sound of the splash 2.64 s later, what was the initial speed given to the rock (in m/s)? Assume the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. b.) If the temperature near the cliff suddenly falls to 0°C, reducing the speed of sound to 331 m/s, what would the initial speed of the rock have to be (in m/s) for the soccer player to hear the sound of the splash 2.64 s after kicking the rock?arrow_forwardn object starts from origin att%3D0 moves along the x- axis. the velocity of the object as a function of time is shown in the in following figure.
