Terminal velocity. A rider on a bike with the combined mass of 100kg attains a terminal speed of 15m/s on a 12% slope. Assuming

that the only forces affecting the speed are the weight and the drag, calculate the drag coefficient. The frontal area is 0.9m2 .

Answer:

0.9378

Explanation:

Weight (W) of the rider = 100 kg;

since 1 kg = 9.8067 N

100 kg will be = 980.67 N

W = 980.67 N

At the slope of 12%, the angle θ is calculated as:

tan \ \theta = \dfrac{12}{100} \\ \\  tan \ \theta = 0.12 \\ \\  \theta = tan^{-1}(0.12) \\\\ \theta = 6.84^0

The drag force D = Wsinθ

\dfrac{1}{2}C_v \rho AV^2 = W sin \theta

where;

\rho = 1.23 \ kg/m^3

A = 0.9 m²

V = 15 m/s

∴

Drag coefficient C_D = \dfrac{2 *W*sin \theta}{\rho *A *V^2}

C_D =\dfrac{2 *980.67*sin 6.84}{1.23 *0.9 *15^2}

C_D =0.9378

In springboard diving, the diver strides out to the end of the board, takes a jump onto its end, and uses the resultant spring-l
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

10.4 m/s

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using the following SUVAT equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

For the diver in the problem, we have:

u=+6.3 m/s is the initial velocity (positive because it is upward)

a=g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity (negative because it is downward)

By substituting t = 1.7 s, we find the velocity when the diver reaches the water:

v=+6.3 + (-9.8)(1.7)=-10.4 m/s

And the negative sign means that the direction is downward: so, the speed is 10.4 m/s.

A CCD has a greatest possible pixel value of 4095. what is the bit level of this CCD?
Shtirlitz [24]
<span>Bit level for a CCD (Charged coupled device) with a greatest possible pixel value of 4095:The relationship between the bit level and pixel value is given as:pixel value = 2^bit level.Most charged coupled devices (CCDs) have 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit levels.Using simple mathematics, we can see that 2^12 = 4096.Since the maximum number of pixels is 4095, the bit level is 12., i.e. the CCD has 12-bit level.</span>

In the equation vx^2=v0x^2+2ax(x-x0) what does the terms vx, v0x, x, and x0 stand for respectively?
tatuchka [14]

B. velocity at position x, velocity at position x=0, position x, and the original position

In the equation

v_{x}^{2} = v_{ox}^{2} +2 a x (x - x₀)

v_{x} = velocity at position "x"

v_{ox} = velocity at position "x = 0 "

x = final position

x_{o} = initial position of the object at the start of the motion

List some reasons why growth characteristics are more useful on agar plates than on agar slants
SpyIntel [72]
Usually, in culturing of the bacteria we have a slant and then portion f it is transferred to the agar plate. The growth characteristics are more useful in the agar plates because it is where we really do the observation because bacteria in slants are still to be transferred in the agar plates.
