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

1 answer:

7 0

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.

A 480 g falcon reaches a speed of 75 m/s in a vertical dive. if we assume that the falcon speeds up under the influence of gravi

poizon [28]

Answer:

286.7 m

Explanation:

So we are assuming the PE of the falcon is converted to KE

KE = PE

1/2 (.480)(75)^2 = .480 (9.81)(h ) solve for h = 286.7 m

When you start the simulation, there is no friction and no air resistance ("Air Drag"). Apply full force to the right, 200N. Wil

Answer:Like friction, the drag force always opposes the motion of an object. ... The drag coefficient can depend upon velocity, but we will assume that it is a ... At highway speeds, over 50% of the power of a car is used to overcome air drag. ... A zero net force means that there is no acceleration, as given by Newton's second law.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

d. All of the above .

Explanation:

The sensitivity of microphone will be more if even feeble sound can create greater vibration in diaphragm . Naturally it is possible if diaphragm is light and can move easily . The movement it it is controlled by current in the coil which makes it electromagnet . All factors that increase the strength of magnet like increasing the no of turns , or a strong magnet will increase the sensitivity.
