The Mars Curiosity rover was required to land on the surface of Mars with a velocity of 1 m/s. Given the mass of the landing vehicle and parachute is 2270 kg, the drag coefficient is effectively 0.5, the atmosphere density is 0.71 that of Earth (take Earth atmosphere density as 1.2 kg/m3), and the Martian gravitational acceleration is 3.689 m/s2, find the required total frontal area (in m2) of the lander plus a parachute to land at the given velocity. Assume the landing vehicle has achieved terminal velocity as it falls through the Martian atmosphere.

A33.1 g copper object is launched from a 1.5 m 30° steel incline positioned on the floor by being pulled up a string attached to a 50.0 g mass suspended vertically over a pulley. the object is projected towards a glass table where it lands when it is at the point along its trajectory with the lowest speed. it comes to a halt when it clears the opposite edge of the table. it then falls and lands on 9 physics texts each 5 cm thick that are stacked on the floor on the opposite side of the table. assume that the table does not have a ledge and the rectangular object experiences 0.05 n of air resistance as it falls towards the books. how far and how long did the object travel and how fast does it hit the books. assume that at the moment the copper object leaves the incline, the massless string and ideal pulley break off

The midpoints? a, b, and c are marked on the histogram. match them to the indicated scores. which? scores, if? any, would be considered? unusual?

In a wind tunnel the speed changes as the cross sectional area of the tunnel changes. if the speed in a 6' x 6' square test section is 100 mph, what was the speed upstream of the test section where the tunnel measured 20' x 20'? use conservation of mass and assume incompressible flow. conservation of mass requires that as the flow moves through a path or a duct the product of the density, velocity and cross sectional area must remain constant; i.e., that ova-constant. a model is being tested in a wind tunnel at a speed of 100 mph if the flow in the test section is at sea level standard conditions, what is the pressure at the model's stagnation point? (a) the tunnel speed is being measured by a pitot-static tube connected to a u- tube manometer. what is the reading on that manometer in inches of water? (b) at one point on the model a pressure of 2058 psf is measured. what is the local airspeed at that point?
