As you get ready for bed, you roll up one of your socks into a tight ball and toss it into the laundry basket across the room. Then, you try to toss the other sock without rolling it up.. What effects whether or not your socks land in the basket?

Drag force opposes motion of objects through fluid with its magnitude depending on the velocity of the object in the fluid

The single parameter that effects whether or not the socks lands in the basket is the drag force, $\mathbf{F_D}$ acting on the socks

$F_D = \mathbf{C_D \times A \times \dfrac{\rho \times v_r^2}{2}}$

The reason that drag force is the parameter that effects the landing point of the socks is as follows:

The parameters that effects whether or not the socks land in the basket or not are;

The distance of the basket away from the thrower = The range, RThe velocity with which the socks are thrown, uThe angle of elevation with which each socks is thrown, θThe amount of drag experienced by each socks, $\mathbf{F_D}$

The parameters, R, u, and θ depends on the thrower, that parameter that effects the whether or not the socks lands in the basket that is independent of the thrower, is the drag, $\mathbf{F_D}$

Drag is the force opposing (slows) the motion of an object in a fluid.

The drag force, $\mathbf{F_D}$ , slowing down motion, is given by the following formula;

$F_D = \mathbf{C_D \times A \times \dfrac{\rho \times v_r^2}{2}}$

Where;

v_r = The velocity of flow of the fluid, relative to the object

ρ = The density of the fluid

C_D = The drag coefficient

A = The cross sectional area of the fluid

Therefore, the independent parameter that effects whether or not the socks lands in the basket is the drag force on the socks

The drag (air resistance) it experiences along its flight to the basket, due to the shape and surface area of the socks, the size of the sock (weight), and the speed with which the socks is tossed.

Explanation:

The socks, like every other particle or body travelling through air is met by a resistance that impedes its motion. This resistance is due to the air molecules around, that collide with the body as it travels through them. The resistance offered by this force is proportional to the surface area of the body that collides with the air molecule, so, rolling the socks into a ball reduces the effect of air resistance on the socks, compared to the one tossed without rolling. Air resistance is also largely dependent on the relative motion of the body and the air molecules, the density of the fluid (air), and the size of the body (weight).

Therefore, whether the socks lands in the basket or not is affected by the drag (air resistance) it experiences along its flight to the basket, due to the shape and surface area of the socks, size of the socks (weight), and the speed with which the socks is tossed.

Some material consisting of a collection of microscopic objects is kept at a high temperature. a photon detector capable of detecting photon energies from infrared through ultraviolet observes photons emitted with energies of 0.3 ev, 0.5 ev, 0.8 ev, 2.0ev, 2.5ev, and 2.8ev. these are the only photon energies observed. (a) draw and label a possible energy-level diagram for one of the microscopic objects, which has four bound states. on the diagram, indicate the transitions corresponding to the emitted photons. explain briefly. (b) would a spring–mass model be a good model for these microscopic objects? why or why not? (c) the material is now cooled down to a very low temperature, and the photon detector stops detecting photon emissions. next, a beam of light with a continuous range of energies from infrared through ultraviolet shines on the material, and the photon detector observes the beam of light after it passes through the material. what photon energies in this beam of light are observed to be significantly reduced in intensity (“dark absorption lines”)? explain briefly.
