6 Model 2: The Drag Equation For this model R v 2. Appropriate for high Reynolds Number fluids and/or objects moving at high speed. This is the one commonly used for airplanes, skydivers, cars, etc.

7 Model 2: The Drag Equation For this model R v 2. Appropriate for high Reynolds Number fluids and/or objects moving at high speed. This is the one commonly used for airplanes, skydivers, cars, etc. There is (or can easily be) some turbulence in these cases.

8 Model 2: The Drag Equation Altogether, the conditions for use are: fast moving objects low viscousity fluids turbulent flow in the fluid

9 Model 2: The Drag Equation The magnitude of the resistive force is: R = 1 2 DρAv 2 This is called the drag equation. D is the drag coefficent (depends on object s shape) ρ is the density of air A is the cross-sectional area of the object perpendicular to its motion

10 Model 2: The Drag Equation It is straightforward to find an expression for v T in this case also. Equilibrium F net = 0. F net = 1 2 DρAv 2 T mg = DρAv 2 T = mg v T = 2mg DρA

11 Model 2: The Drag Equation (We are skipping this derivation in lecture.) Finding the net force and using Newton s second law: F net = ma ma = mg 1 2 DρAv 2 1 g dv dt = 1 DρA 2mg v 2

12 Model 2: The Drag Equation (We are skipping this derivation in lecture.) Finding the net force and using Newton s second law: F net = ma ma = mg 1 2 DρAv 2 1 g dv dt = 1 DρA 2mg v 2 Let k = DρA 2mg. 1 g dv dt = 1 k 2 v 2

13 Model 2: The Drag Equation (We are skipping this derivation in lecture.) We can separate variables 1 and integrate with respect to t: 1 v g 0 1 g dv dt 1 dv 1 k 2 v 2 dt dt = = 1 k 2 v 2 t 0 1 dt 1 The integrating factor trick does not work cleanly here.

15 Model 2: The Drag Equation (We are skipping this derivation in lecture.) We can separate variables 1 and integrate with respect to t: 1 v g 0 1 g 1 g 1 dv 1 k 2 v 2 v We need to find 1 1 k 2 v 2 dv. Use partial fractions: 0 dv dt = 1 k 2 v 2 t dt dt = 1 1 k 2 v 2 dv = t 1 1 k 2 v 2 = 1 (1 + kv)(1 kv) = 1 2 ( 0 1 dt ) 1 (1 + kv) + 1 (1 kv) 1 The integrating factor trick does not work cleanly here.

16 Model 2: The Drag Equation (We are skipping this derivation in lecture.) After integrating and some algebra: ( ) 1 e 2kgt v(t) = k 1 + e 2kgt We can write this a little more conveniently as a hyperbolic function. v(t) = ( ) 2mg DρAg DρA tanh 2m t

17 Comparing the two models The two types of resistive forces predict different curves, but depending on the constants, in each model the curve might approach the terminal velocity faster or slower. [ (1 e x ) vs. tanh x] 1 Figure from Wikipedia.

18 Figure 6.16b, in which the resistive force is plotted as a function of the square of the terminal speed. This graph indicates that the resis- Determining tive force is proportional to the square regime: of the speed as which suggested by model? Equation 6.7. Finalize Here is a good opportunity for you to take some actual data at home on real coffee filters and see if you can reproduce the results shown Experimental in Figure If you data: have shampoo and a marble as mentioned in Example 6.8, take data on that system too and see if the resistive force is appropriately modeled as being proportional to the speed a All values of v T are approximate. Resistive force (N) a The data points do not lie along a straight line, but instead suggest a curve Terminal speed (m/s) 3 4 Resistive force (N) b Terminal speed squared (m/s) 2 The fit of the straight line to the data points indicates that the resistive force is proportional to the terminal speed squared. Figure 6.16 (Example 6.10) (a) Relationship between the resistive force acting on falling coffee filters and their terminal speed. (b) Graph relating the resistive force to the square of the terminal speed. The resistive force R = mg at the terminal velocity. Plot R against v T. Example 6.11 Resistive Force Exerted on a Baseball A pitcher hurls a kg baseball past a batter at 40.2 m/s (5 90 mi/h). Find the resistive force acting on the ball at this speed. 1 Figures from Serway and Jewett. AM

19 One more point about resistive forces What if the object is not dropped from rest? If an object starts out with a large velocity, then begins to experience an unbalanced resistive force it will have an acceleration opposite to its direction of motion. Consider what happens during a skydive.

(a) Estimate the terminal speed of a wooden sphere (density g/cm 3 ) falling through air, taking its radius as 8.00 cm and its drag coefficient as (b) From what height would a freely falling object reach this speed in the absence of air resistance? Page 171, # The mass of a sports car is kg. The shape of the body is such that the aerodynamic drag coefficient is and the frontal area is 2.20 m 2. Ignoring all other sources of friction, calculate the initial acceleration the car has if it has been traveling at 100 km/h and is now shifted into neutral and allowed to coast. 28. A skydiver of mass 80.0 kg jumps from a slow-moving (You aircraft can use ρand air = reaches 1.20 kg ma 3 terminal.) speed of 50.0 m/s. (a) What is her acceleration when her speed is 30.0 m/s? What is the drag force on the skydiver when her speed is (b) 50.0 m/s and (c) 30.0 m/s? 29. Calculate the force required to pull a copper ball of

22 Now for something a little bit different.

23 Energy Energy is almost impossible to clearly define, yet everyone has a good intuitive notion of what it is. Energy is a property of physical systems. It tells us something about the states or configurations the system can be in. In fact, it is possible to find the dynamics of a system purely from understanding the distribution of energy in the system.

Importantly, it can neither be created or destroyed, but it can be transferred between systems, and take different forms.
