The projectile is fired from a height of 21m
Working vertically, v^2 =u^2 +2as
s=-21
u=0
v=?
a=-9.8
t=?
s=1/2at^2 so t=sqrt(2s/g) =sqrt(2*21/9.7)=2.07s

Stokes Law doesnt apply to turbulent flow. The flow is definitely turbulent cos the speed is about 200m/s.

how to do part c???

consider the 2nd image here, so the vertical distance from which it is launched is 16+4+1=21m
s=ut + .5at^2
21=(0xt) + (.5x9.81xt^2)
t=2.07s

Q-A hot air ballon is rising vertically at a speed of 10ms^-1. An object is released from the balloon. Graph shows how the velocity if the object varies with time from when it leaves the balloon to when it reaches the ground 4s later. It's assumed that the air resistance is neglected.

(i) Determine the object's final displacement from it's point of release from the balloon. [2]


Mark scheme answer:

rise 5m and fell 5m [1]

displacement 40m before point of release [1]

i] area/distance = 0.5*b*h
                      = 0.5 * 1*10
                      =  5m

ii] total distance = A1 + A2 = 5 + (0.5*3*30*)
                                      = 5 + 45
                                      = 50 m

b] -45 + 5 = -40 m

hence 40 m below the level of release.

Thanks. I didnt get this point: rise 5m and fell 5m [1]

How can it be rising and falling 5m? :S

Plus, please help with this question:

Why do we add the drag force here? Shouldn't we minus it?

they said in the part before it that it's 20 m  ,but the WHOLE thing is 1 m from the ground hence 20 + 1 = 21 m ;)

drag Q : I think we should minus it *since drag ALWAYS opposes the motion ,that's weird. :-X *

I think.

hey vampire i found out why drag is added instead of substracted. There are 2 ways to do this:

a) F= ma so find out F. Now F here is actually the resultant force (RF) NOT the driving force, since the general formula for finding RF=ma. So, RF= Driving Force - Drag. Rearrange the equation to find driving force: Driving Force= RF + Drag

b) Find F using F= ma. Here we consider F as the Forward Force but NOT the Resultant Driving Force. To find the Resultant Driving  Force use RF= Forward Force - Drag. Notice that Drag is acting in the opposite direction and so drag will be taken as a negative value. In other words RF= Forward Force - ( - Drag) which is equal to RF= Forward Force + Drag.

However, i am not too sure if the 2nd method is acceptable so just stick to the 1st method. But if you get stuck you could use the 2nd method to help you out!!! :) :)

Using F = ma

Driving force - Drag = mass * acceleration

X - 430 = 520*3.5

X = 520*35 + 430

X = 2250 N

a student connects two pieces of copper wire, A and B, in series with each other and a battery.
the diameter of wire A is twice that of B.  calculate the ratio of the drift velocity in wire A to the drift velocity in wire B and explain your answer.
urgent plz because phy unit 2 is on monday  :( :(
thx in advance   ;D ;D ;D ;D
