A6.5cmdiameter ball has a terminal speed of26m/s. What is the ball鈥檚 mass?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The required mass of the ball is29g.

Step by step solution

01

Given information.

Diameter of ball (D) = 6.5cm, terminal speed of ball (v) =26m/s.

02

Calculation

The formula of terminal speed is given by:

vt=2mgACD.

where,

m is the mass.

g is the gravitational acceleration.

is the density of the medium.

A is the projected area of the object.

CDis the drag coefficient.

03

Continuation of calculation

We can consider the ball as a perfect sphere, so its drag coefficient is CD=0.47.

The projected area is the cross-sectional area of the ball, so A=r2.

The radius of the ball is half the diameter:

r=d2.=3.13cm.=0.0313m.

So the area is,

A=r2.=(0.0313m).=3.110-3m2.

04

Continuation of calculation

And so by using the data of the problem and re-arranging the equation, we can calculate m (the mass) from the terminal velocity:

m=vf2ACD2g.=(18m/s)21.2kg/m33.110-3m2(0.47)29.81m/s2.=0.029kg.=29g.

05

Final answer.

The mass of the ball is29g.

A 8.0104kgspaceship is at rest in deep space. Its thrusters provide a force of 1200kN.The spaceship fires its thrusters for 20s, then coasts for12 km. How long does it take the spaceship to coast this distance?

Seat belts and air bags save lives by reducing the forces exerted on the driver and passengers in an automobile collision. Cars are designed with a 鈥渃rumple zone鈥 in the front of the car. In the event of an impact, the passenger compartment decelerates over a distance of about 1mas the front of the car crumples. An occupant restrained by seat belts and air bags decelerates with the car. By contrast, an unrestrained occupant keeps moving forward with no loss of speed (Newton鈥檚 first law!) until hitting the dashboard or windshield. These are unyielding surfaces, and the unfortunate occupant then decelerates over a distance of only about 5mm. a. A 60kgperson is in a head-on collision. The car鈥檚 speed at impact is 15m/s. Estimate the net force on the person if he or she is wearing a seat belt and if the air bag deploys.

b. Estimate the net force that ultimately stops the person if he or she is not restrained by a seat belt or air bag

The position of a 2.0 kg mass is given by x = 12t 3 - 3t 2 2 m, where t is in seconds. What is the net horizontal force on the mass at

(b) t = 1 s?

Suppose you push a hockey puck of mass m across frictionless ice for 1.0 s, starting from rest, giving the puck speed v after traveling distance d. If you repeat the experiment with a puck of mass 2m, pushing with the same force, a. How long will you have to push for the puck to reach the same speed v?

b. How long will you have to push for the puck to travel the same distance d?

An object with cross section A is shot horizontally across frictionless ice. Its initial velocity is v0xat t0=0s. Air resistance is not negligible.

a. Show that the velocity at time t is given by the expression

vx=v0x1+CAv0xt/2m

b. A 1.6-m-wide, 1.4-m-high, 1500kgcar with a drag coefficient of 0.35hits a very slick patch of ice while going 20m/s. If friction is neglected, how long will it take until the car鈥檚 speed drops to 10m/s? To 5m/s?

c. Assess whether or not it is reasonable to neglect kinetic friction.
