(a) You pull a solid zinc ball with a density of 7.14 g/cm3 and a radius of 1.10 cm upward through a fluid at a constant speed of 7.00 cm/s. The fluid exerts a drag force that is directly proportional to speed, and the proportionality constant is 0.950 kg/s. What is the magnitude of the force (in N) you exert on the ball? (You may ignore the buoyant force.)


________N

(b)

What If? By what percentage would the upward force exerted on the zinc ball have to be increased for the speed of the ball in the fluid to increase to double its original value?

________%

As we will see in Chapter 19, the process of thermal conduction of energy into cylindrical blocks of ice is described by the equation LaTeX: \frac{Q}{\Delta t}=\frac{4\pi d^2\left(T_h-T_c\right)}{4L} Q Δ t = 4 π d 2 ( T h − T c ) 4 L For experimental control, in one set of trials all quantities except LaTeX: d d and LaTeX: \Delta t Δ t are constant. (a) If LaTeX: d d is made three times larger, does the equation predict that LaTeX: \Delta t Δ t will get larger or get smaller? By what factor? (b) What pattern of proportionality of LaTeX: \Delta t Δ t to LaTeX: d d does the equation predict? (c) To display this proportionality as a straight line on a graph, what quantities should you plot on the horizontal and vertical axes? (d) What expression represents the theoretical slope of this graph?
