On the seashore, pebbles that are rough and uneven become smooth and rounded. explain how the become smooth and rounded.

Aparticle with mass 1.81×10−3 kg and a charge of 1.22×10−8 c has, at a given instant, a velocity v⃗ =(3.00×104m/s)j^. what are the magnitude and direction of the particle’s acceleration produced by a uniform magnetic field b⃗ =(1.63t)i^+(0.980t)j^?

The focal length of a relaxed human eye is approximately 1.7 cm. when we focus our eyes on a close up object, we can change the refractive power of the eye by about 16 diopters. (a) does the refractive power of our eyes increase or decrease by 16 diopters when we focus closely? explain. (b) calculate the focal length of the eye when we focus closely.

The ratio of lift to drag l/d for a wing or airfoil is an important aerodynamic parameter, indeed, it is a direct measure of the aerodynamic efficiency of the wing. if a wing is pitched through a range of angle of attack, l/d first increases, then goes through a maximum, and then decreases. consider an infinite wing with an naca 2412 airfoil. estimate the maximum value of l/d. assume that the reynolds number is 9x10^6.
