Answer:
Explanation:
At the time of a body achieving terminal velocity, the drag force becomes equal to the weight of the body less the buoyant force by the surrounding medium which can be represented by the following equation
Where r is radius of the body , d is density of the material of the body σ is density of the medium and n is coefficient of viscosity of the medium and v is terminal velocity.
Simplifying
v =
Assuming the value of density of air as 1.225 kg/m³ and putting other given values in the formula we get
v = [/tex]
v = 387 x 10⁻⁵ m/s
Terminal velocity = 387 x 10⁻⁵ m/s
Time taken to fall a distance of 100 m
=
= 2.6 x 10⁴ s.
