Answer:
Yes, the velocity of the object can reverse direction when its acceleration is constant. For example consider that the velocity of any object at any time t is given as: ... At At t = 0 sec, the magnitude of velocity is 2m/s and is moving in the forward direction i.e.v (t) = -2.
Terminal speed is the maximum speed that a falling object can reach and is based on aerodynamic resistance. In a vacuum, an object falling toward a planet as a result of gravity will continue to accelerate until it hits the ground.
However, if the object is falling through an atmosphere, such as on earth, then it will accelerate up to the point that the aerodynamic resistance cancels the downward force due to gravity, and it travels at a constant maximum speed, called the terminal velocity. At this point, resistance is equal to acceleration due to gravity. At terminal velocity, the skydiver's acceleration is zero.
A = horizontal displacement of the humming bird = 1.2 m
B = vertical displacement of the humming bird = 1.4 m
C = net displacement of the humming bird from initial to final position = ?
In the triangle drawn , Using Pythagorean theorem
C = √(A² + B²)
inserting the values
C = √(1.2² + 1.4²)
C = √(1.44 + 1.96)
C = √(3.4)
C = 1.4 m
Hence the net displacement of hummingbird comes out to be 1.4 m
