if an object is falling on earth at a terminal velocity of 140 km/hr, does that mean that the acceleration is ZERO?

If he's falling in a straight line and his speed is not changing, that tells you that his acceleration is zero.

And THAT tells you that the forces on him are balanced, the net force acting on him is zero, and his motion is the same as it would be if there were NO force acting on him.

kondaur [170]
<span>The force of static friction F equals the coefficient of friction u times the normal force N the object exerts on the surface: F = uN. N is the centripetal force of the wall on the people; N = ma_N, where m is the mass of the people and a_N is the centripetal acceleration. The people will not slip down if F is greater than the force of gravitation: F = uma_N > mg, or u > g/a_N. a_N is the velocity v of the people squared divided by the radius of the room r: a_N = v^2/r. The circumference of the room is 2 pi r = 28.3 m. So v = 28.3 * 0.8 m/sec = 22.6 m/sec. So a_N = 114 m/sec^2. g = 9.81 m/sec^2, so u must be at least 9.81/114 = 0.086.</span>

A ball is thrown at an angle of 38° to the horizontal. What happens to the
finlep [7]

Answer:

Vy = V0 sin 38       where Vy is the initial vertical velocity

The ball will accelerate downwards (until it lands)

Note the signs involved   if Vy is positive then g must be negative

The acceleration is constant until the ball lands

t (upwards) = (0 - Vy) / -g      = Vy / g      final velocity = 0

t(downwards = (-Vy - 0) / -g = Vy / g      final velocity = -Vy

time upwards = time downwards     (conservation laws)
