A steel ball is traveling through water with a speed of x meters per second, where x is positive the drag force, F

At what speed in meters per second does the ball have a force of 0.5 N on it

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.032

Step-by-step explanation:

The drag force is described as the force experienced by an object due to movement through a liquid. In this case it is water. The equation used for drag force F is:

[tex]F=0.5pu^2[/tex]

the density of water is p=1000 kg/m³. We know that F=0.5  N.

[tex]0.5=0.5\cdot{1000}u^2[/tex]

[tex]u=\sqrt{0.001}[/tex]

[tex]u=0.031[/tex]

The speed is 0.032 m/s
