An air hockey game has a puck of mass 30 grams and a diameter of 100 mm. the air film under the puck is 0.1 mm thick. calculate the time required after impact for a puck to lose 10% of its initial speed. assume air is at 15o c and has a dynamic viscosity of 1.75´10-5 n×s/m2 .

time required after impact for a puck is 2.18 seconds

Explanation:

given data

mass = 30 g = 0.03 kg

diameter = 100 mm = 0.1 m

thick = 0.1 mm = 1 × m

dynamic viscosity = 1.75 × Ns/m²

air temperature = 15°C

to find out

time required after impact for a puck to lose 10%

solution

we know velocity varies here 0 to v

we consider here initial velocity = v

so final velocity = 0.9v

so change in velocity is du = v

and clearance dy = h

and shear stress acting on surface is here express as

= µ

so

= µ     ............1

put here value

= 1.75× ×

= 0.175 v

and

area between air and puck is given by

Area =

area  =  

area = 7.85 × m²

so

force on puck is express as

Force = × area

force = 0.175 v × 7.85 ×

force = 1.374 × v    

and now apply newton second law

force = mass × acceleration

- force =

- 1.374 × v =

t =  

time = 2.18

so time required after impact for a puck is 2.18 seconds

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
