The dominant form of drag experienced by vehicles (bikes, cars, planes, etc.) at operating speeds is called form drag. it increases quadratically with velocity (essentially because the amount of air you run into increases with v and so does the amount of force you must exert on each small volume of air). thus fdrag = c dav2, where a is the cross-sectional area of the vehicle and cd is called the coefficient of drag.

consider a vehicle moving with constant velocity v. find the power dissipated by form drag.

Ogle–2013–blg–0723 is an exoplanet that is similar to earth in size and proximity to its star. this exoplanet has mass m=4.18×1024kg and radius r=5.66×106m. an astronaut whose weight on earth is w=735n lands on the planet. a. calculate m, the mass of the astronaut. b. calculate gp? , the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of ogle–2013–blg–0723. c. calculate wp? , the weight of the astronaut on the surface of ogle–2013–blg–0723. d. calculate v, the minimum velocity required to put an object into orbit above ogle–2013–blg–0723. e. calculate t, the time required to complete an orbit around ogle–2013–blg–0723.

When an object is heated it contracts. a. true b. false

Asolid cylinder and a cylindrical shell have the same mass, same radius, and turn on frictionless, horizontal axles. the cylindrical shell has light-weight spokes connecting the shell to the axle. a rope is wrapped around each cylinder and tied to blocks of equal masses that are held the same height above the ground. both blocks are released simultaneously. the ropes do not slip. which block hits the ground first? or is it a tie?
