Which condition describes an object having terminal velocity?

Physics
2 answers:
Natalka [10]3 years ago

Answer:

C. Gravity = air resistance

Explanation:

An object falling down has two forces acting on him:

- Gravity, which acts downward --> the magnitude of this force is constant (equal to mg, where m is the mass of the object and g is the gravitational acceleration)

- Air resistance, which acts upward --> the magnitude of this force is directly proportional to v, the speed of the object

When the object starts its fall, the speed is zero (v=0) so only gravity acts and it accelerates the object downward. Therefore, the speed of the object increases, and so does the air resistance, until a point where the air resistance becomes equal to gravity (which is constant): when this occurs, the acceleration of the object becomes zero (because forces are balanced), so the object continues its fall at constant velocity, called terminal velocity.

I need help on number 5. We need to use one of the four kinematics equations.
Gnom [1K]

ANSWER

35.02m

EXPLANATION

Parameters given:

Initial velocity, u = 26.2 m/s

When the vase reaches its maximum height, its velocity becomes 0 m/s. That is the final velocity.

We can now apply one of Newton's equations of motion to find the height:

v^2=u^2-2as

where a = g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore, we have that:

\begin{gathered} 0=26.2^2-2(9.8)s \\ \Rightarrow19.6s=686.44 \\ s=\frac{686.44}{19.6} \\ s=35.02m \end{gathered}

That is the height that the vase will reach.

What conversion factor is used to convert 20 cm to m
Anastaziya [24]
The conversion factor you use is 100 cm = 1 m.
You can divide 20 by 100 to get the answer.
20 cm/100 cm =.2 m

A box is being pulled to the right. What is the direction of the gravitational force?
lapo4ka [179]

The correct answer to the question is vertically downward i.e towards the centre of earth.

EXPLANATION:

As per the question, the box is pulled to the right.

Hence, the direction of the applied force is towards right.

We are asked to determine the direction of the gravitational force that acts on the body.

Before answering this question, first we gave to understand the gravitational force of earth.

Any body present on the surface of earth is attracted with the force of gravity of earth ( gravitational force ) towards its centre.  It is equivalent to the weight of the body.  

The force of gravity is always directed towards the centre of earth irrespective of the nature of applied force.

Hence, the direction of the gravitational force which acts on the box is vertically downward.
