Calculating effects of air resistance on a falling mass

AI Thread Summary
Calculating the effects of air resistance on a 0.67kg ball dropped from 4.93m involves understanding the difference between theoretical free fall and real-world conditions. The initial calculations used the equation s=ut + 0.5at², which does not account for air resistance. A request for an equation that includes air resistance highlights the complexity of the problem. A shared lecture link provides additional resources for understanding these dynamics. Accurate modeling of air resistance is crucial for precise time calculations in falling objects.

Calculating effects of air resistance on a ball of mass 0.67kg, being dropped from a height of 4.93m.

I have worked out theoretically what time it would take without air resistance using
s=ut + 0.5at(squared) however i cannot find an equation that will factor in air resistance.

thanks

thanks that will be great
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
