A sphere made of rubber has a density of 1.00 g/cm3 and a radius of 8.00 cm. It falls through air of density 1.20 kg/m3 and has a drag coefficient of 0.500. What is its terminal speed (in m/s)

Explanation:

m = p_sphere*V A = pi*r^2 v_t= sqrt(2mg/Dp_airA)

The Attempt at a Solution

m = (870 kg/m^3)(4/3)pi(0.085 m)^3 = 2.24 kg

A = pi(0.085 m)^2 = 0.0227 m^2 v_t = sqrt[2(2.24 kg)(9.80 m/s^2)/(0.500)(1.20 kg/m^3)(0.0227 m^3)] = 56.8 m/s

Terminal speed= 1,826.51m/s

Explanation:

Volume of a sphere is given by: V=4/3pir^3

Where r is radius of sphere

V=4×3.142×(8)^2/3

V= 2144.66cm^3

Converting to meters

V=2144.66cm^3×(1m^3/ 1×10^-6cm^3)

V= 2.145×10^-3m^3

Area of sphereA= pi(8)^2

A= 3.142×64=210.6cm^3

Converting to meter

201cm^×(1m/10000cm^2)

A=0.0210m^2

Given:

Density of shere= 1.00kg/m^3

Drag coefficient =0.500

Mass of sphere=?

Density of sphere= mass of sphere / volume of shere

Mass= 2144.66cm^3×1.00kgcm^3

Mass= 2144.66kg

Terminal speed,VT= Sqrt(2mg)/(DpA)

VT= Sqrt( 2×( 2144.66)×9.8))/(0.500×1.20×0.021)

VT= Sqrt(42035.34/0.0126)

VT=Sqrt(3,336,137.78)

VT= 1,826.51m/s

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
