What is the net force acting on a falling object when it reaches terminal velocity?

Physics

Answer:

Net force = 0

Explanation:

An object reaches its terminal velocity when the air resistance or drag force becomes equal to the weight of falling object. In this condition, the object is moving with constant speed.

And we know that acceleration, a = rate of change of velocity

If v = constant, then acceleration of an object is 0. Net force acting on an object is given by the product of its mass and acceleration as per Newton's second law i.e.

F_{net}=ma

So, F_{net}=0        

Hence, net force acting on a falling object when it reaches terminal velocity is zero.

I believe the answer is 0 because the force of air resistance equals the weight of the object.

A singly charged positive ion has a mass of 3.46 × 10−26 kg. After being accelerated through a potential difference of 215 V the
jasenka [17]

Answer:

1.8 cm

Explanation:

m = mass of the singly charged positive ion = 3.46 x 10⁻²⁶ kg

q = charge on the singly charged positive ion = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

\Delta V =Potential difference through which the ion is accelerated = 215 V

v = Speed of the ion

Using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy gained by ion = Electric potential energy lost

(0.5) m v^{2} = q \Delta V\\(0.5) (3.46\times10^{-26}) v^{2} = (1.6\times10^{-19}) (215)\\(1.73\times10^{-26}) v^{2} = 344\times10^{-19}\\v = 4.5\times10^{4} ms^{-1}

r = Radius of the path followed by ion

B = Magnitude of magnetic field = 0.522 T

the magnetic force on the ion provides the necessary centripetal force, hence

qvB = \frac{mv^{2} }{r} \\qB = \frac{mv}{r}\\r =\frac{mv}{qB}\\r =\frac{(3.46\times10^{-26})(4.5\times10^{4})}{(1.6\times10^{-19})(0.522)}\\r = 0.018 m \\r = 1.8 cm
