A baggage handler drops your kg suitcase onto a conveyor belt running at m/s. The materials are such that and . How far is your suitcase dragged before it is riding smoothly on the belt?
In an electricity experiment, a plastic ball is suspended on a -cm-long string and given an electric charge. A charged rod brought near the ball exerts a horizontal electrical force on it, causing the ball to swing out to a angle and remain there.
a. What is the magnitude of ?
b. What is the tension in the string
Very small objects, such as dust particles, experience a linear drag force,(bv, direction opposite the motion), where is a constant. That is, the quadratic model of drag of Equation fails for very small particles. For a sphere of radius , the drag constant can be shown to be , where is the viscosity of the gas.
a. Find an expression for the terminal speedof a spherical particle of radius and mass falling through a gas of viscosity .
b. Suppose a gust of wind has carrieda -diameter dust particle to a height of . If the wind suddenly stops, how long will it take the dust particle to settle back to the ground? Dust has a density ofrole="math" localid="1647776411884" the viscosity ofair is , and you can assume that the falling dust particle reaches terminal speed almost instantly.
An astronaut orbiting the earth is handed two balls that have identical outward appearances. However, one is hollow while the other is filled with lead. How can the astronaut determine which is which? Cutting or altering the balls is not allowed?
Bonnie and Clyde are sliding a kg bank safe across the floor to their getaway car. The safe slides with a constant speed if Clyde pushes from behind with N of force while Bonnie pulls forward on a rope with N of force. What is the safe’s coefficient of kinetic friction on the bank floor?
