Drag Force = bv^2 = ma; a = g = 9.81 m/s^2

b = mg/v^2 = (0.0023×9.81)/(9.4^2)

b = 0.000255

A dense metal sphere is dropped from a 10-meter tower, and at the exact same time an identical metal sphere is thrown horizontal

givi [52]

Answer:

A. Both spheres land at the same time.

Explanation:

The horizontal motion doesn't affect the vertical motion. Since the two spheres have the same initial vertical velocity and same initial height, they land at the same time.

A man 2 m tall walks horizontally at a constant rate of 1 m/s toward the base of a tower 23 m tall. When the man is 10 m from th

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

$\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=0.038\ rad/s$

Explanation:

Given that

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}= -1\ m/s$

From the diagram

$tan\theta=\dfrac{21}{x}$

By differentiating with time t

$sec^2\theta \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=-\dfrac{21}{x^2}\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

When x= 10 m

$tan\theta=\dfrac{21}{10}$

θ = 64.53°

Now by putting the value in equation

$sec^2\theta \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=-\dfrac{21}{x^2}\dfrac{dx}{dt}$

$sec^264.53^{\circ} \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=-\dfrac{21}{10^2}\times (-1)$

$\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}=0.038\ rad/s$

Therefore rate of change in the angle is 0.038\ rad/s

How are meteors and meteorites different?

konstantin123 [22]

A meteor is the flash of light that we see in the night sky when a small chunk of interplanetary debris burns up as it passes through our atmosphere. "Meteor" refers to the flash of light caused by the debris, not the debris itself.

If any part of a meteoroid survives the fall through the atmosphere and lands on Earth, it is called a meteorite.
