Ballistic data obtained on a firing range show that aerodynamic drag reduces the speed of a .44 magnum revolver bullet from 250 m/s to 210 m/s as it travels over a horizontal distance of 150 m. The diameter and mass of the bullet are 11.2 mm and 15.6 g, respectively. Evaluate the average drag coefficient for the bullet.

When an object moves in uniform circular motion, the direction of its acceleration is a) in the same direction as its velocity vector. b) in the opposite direction of its velocity vector c) is directed toward the center of its circular path. d) is directed away from the center of its circular path. e) depends on the speed of the object.

Consider an ordinary, helium-filled party balloon with a volume of 2.2 ft3. the lifting force on the balloon due to the outside air is the net resultant of the pressure distribution exerted on the exterior surface of the balloon. using this fact, we can derive archimedes’ principle, namely that the upward force on the balloon is equal to the weight of the air displaced by the balloon. assuming that the balloon is at sea level, where the air density is 0.002377 slug/ft3, calculate the maximum weight that can be lifted by the balloon. note: the molecular weight of air is 28.8 and that of helium is 4.
