An object falling through air experiences a drag force that is proportional to the square of its speed. If its cross-sectional area is defined as A, its terminal speed is proportional to: A. A-1 B. A1/2 C. A2 D. A-1/2
Calculate the terminal velocity for a pollen grain falling through the air using the drag force equation. Assume the pollen grain has a diameter of 7 µm and a density of 0.3 g/cm3. If this grain is released from the top of a tree (height 11 m), estimate the time it will take to fall to the ground. Hint: The pollen grain will reach its terminal velocity very quickly and will have this velocity for essentially the entire motion. Your...
When an object is falling in air at terminal velocity, (choose all correct answers) Group of answer choices the net force on the object is down. the net force on the object is zero. the net force on the object is up. there is no gravitational force on the object. there is a gravitational force on the object up. there is a gravitational force on the object down. the velocity is decreasing. the velocity is increasing. the velocity is constant.

n Chapter 5 we look at drag due to air resistance for falling objects. Using the Dv form of dr discussed in class, write a program (or solve analytically) to determine how long (sec.) and how far m) a 150 gram ball whose radius is 3.5cm would fall before it reached 75% of its terminal velocity. Assume ball falls in air whose density is 1.21 kg/m3, has a drag coefficient C .3, cross-sectional area s just the disk a sphere...
The drag force Fp on a smooth sphere falling in water depends on
the sphere speed V, the sphere density P. the density p and dynamic
viscosity of water, the sphere diameter Dand the gravitational
acceleration g. Using dimensional analysis with p. V and D as
repeating variables, determine suitable dimensionless groups to
obtain a reneral relationship between the drag force and the other
variables. If the same sphere were to fall through air, determine
the ratio of the drag...

The mass density of air on Mars is ρ=0.016 kg/m3. The gravity on Mars is gMars= 3.7 m/s2. The mass density of air on earth under standard pressure and temperature conditions is ρ=1.225 kg/m3. A NASA mars probe weighs 1000 N on Earth. At terminal velocity, the weight of a falling object is equal to the drag force. Assume that the drag coefficient of the parachute used is constant, and has the same value on both Earth or Mars, and...
