A car is a height of 1.6 meters and width of 2 meters. (the length is immaterial). The following is an actual excerpt from the manufacturers specifications:
Fuel capacity: 51 liters/ 13.5 US gal/ 11.2 gal
Drag coefficient 0.42 (at highway speed)
a) If I am driving at 100 km/hr through air what is the drag force on the car. Note this is the same as if the car were stationary in at 100 km/hr wind. Air density is 1.2 kg/m^3 viscosity is 0.018 cp
A ballon is being pushed upwards by the force of the hot air inside it. If the ballon has a mass of 250 kg, how much force is needed to accelerate it upwards at 0.3 m/s^2? (This question was already answered, don't answer)The balloon from the other question is getting too high. You grab a rope hanging from it and pull it down. Using the same conditions and information, how hard would you have to pull on it to bring it back down at a constant speed? (answer this one)
After an annual checkup, you leave your physician's office, where you weighed 714.76 N. You then get into an
elevator that, conveniently, has a scale. Compute for the reading of the weighing scale in Newtons if the
acceleration of the elevator is 0.87 m/s^2. (kindly take note of the sign of the acceleration. if the acceleration
is positive it is directed upward, if the acceleration is negative it is directed downward)
(express your answer in 2 decimal places)
