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

Physics

valentinak56 [21]3 years ago

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 wave travels at a constant speed. How does the wavelength change if the frequency is reduced by a factor of 3 ?
Oksanka [162]
Speed (v) = wavelength (λ) x frequency (f)

If speed is constant and frequency is reduced by factor of 3, you will need to increase wavelength by the same factor so that your changes reduce out.

Answer is A.

Feng and Isaac are riding on a merry-ground. Feng rides on a horse at the outer rim of the circular platform, twice as far from
kogti [31]

Answer: The question is incomplete or missing details. here is the remaining part of the question ;

1. impossible to determine

2. half of Isaac’s

3. the same as Isaac’s

4. twice Isaac’s

The angular speed of feng will be the same as that of Isaac. Hence the answer is option 3

Explanation:

Since we have been told that both feng and isaac are riding on a merry go round i.e in a circular motion, irrespective of how fast one ride above the other, the angular speed will be constant since they are riding on a merry go round, as such both feng and isaac will maintain equal angular speed, hence the angular speed of feng will be the same as that of Isaac.

When you are sitting in a car that is turning around a circle, you feel your body is being thrown outward. However, your physics
Degger [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

Centripetal force acts towards the center of the circle. However, our body is not attached to the car, it is only kept in the car. Therefore, when an external force acts on the car, inertia acts on the body due to the sense that it will try to remain in the same state.

Although the car takes the turn, but due to the inertia, the body will try to move forward; but since the seat belts are on, it is enforced to move with the car in a circular motion

A moderate force will break an egg. However, an egg droppedon the road usually breaks while one dropped on the grass usuallydoes
Fed [463]

Answer:

C. the time interval for stopping is greater.

Explanation:

As the egg falls onto the grass, it takes a a greater amount of time for it to stop, and thus the force that is being applied to it is in increments; there is never enough force applied on the egg for it to break. That's why the egg doesn't break when it lands on the grass.

In contrast, when the egg is dropped on the road, <em>all of the force that is being applied by the road on the egg is in the tiny interval when the egg touches the road</em>, That force is large enough to break the egg because it is being applied in a tiny amount of time. That's why the egg dropped on the road breaks.

<em>So here is the rule of thumb: if you don't want to break your things but still want to drop them, drop them such that it takes  some for them to stop—because force will applied to them gradually. </em>
