Homework Statement A bubble of air which is 1 mm in diameter is released without initial velocity in the volume of glycerol at room temperature. Describe the motion of the bubble as a function of time assuming that its diameter remains unchanged. Note that friction force acting on the...

out of curiosity, where did you go for undergrad mgb ?

lol i did not get the joke, how slow am i XD. I also have another question. Doesnt the surface area available for the air to push up an important factor in calculating the Archimedes force? Because air has to be able topush up forom the bottom. Analogously, if i were to lie flat on the earth...

yeah...Im studying the K.K. intro to mechanics book... sighs... But it doesn't have any fluid section. so yeah :T.

Homework Statement Calculate the Archimedes' force due to air on your body. Homework Equations F = pVg The Attempt at a Solution This problem is more so conceptual, I believe, than calculation-based. My first thought was that the buoyant force equals to the weight of the air...

Homework Statement A bead of mass m slides without friction on a smooth rod along the x-axis. The rod is equidistant between two spheres of mass M. The spheres are located at x=0 , y= \pm a. a. Find the potential energy of the bead. b. The bead is released at x = 3a with an initial...

Homework Statement a A sportscar can accelerate uniformly to 120 mi/h in 30s. Its maximum braking rate cannot exceed 0.7g. what is the minimum time required to go 1/2 mi, assuming it begins and ends at rest? Homework Equations I drew a graph of v(t) vs t. where the initial acc. goes up...
