Question

13.) Calculate the terminal velocity ($V_{term}$) of a baseball of mass 145 grams and radius, r = 3.66 cm. falling through the air from some height, H. The drag coefficient, $C_D$ = 0.5 for the baseball. Use the following equations: $\frac{1}{2}p C_D A v^2 = F_D$ where $\rho$ = air density = 1.23 kg/m^3 Hint: at terminal velocity ($V_{term}$) the acceleration of the falling object is zero and $\sum F_y = F_D + (-mg) = 0$

Calculate the terminal velocity (v) of a baseball of mass 145 grams and radius, r = 3.66 cm, falling through the air from some height, H. The drag coefficient, CD = 0.5 for the baseball. Use the following equations: (1/2)ρCDAv^2 = FD where ρ = air density = 1.23 kg/m^3 Hint: at terminal velocity (vterm) the acceleration of the falling object is zero and ΣFy = FD + (-mg) = 0 Use the following equations: (1/2)ρCDAv^2 = FD where ρ = air density = 1.23 kg/m^3
