Answer:
The maximum velocity is 0.489 m/s
Explanation:
Maximum velocity (v) = angular velocity (w) × radius (r)
w = 33.33 rpm = 33.33×0.1047 = 3.4897 rad/s
r = 14 cm = 14/100 = 0.14 m
v = 3.4897×0.14 = 0.489 m/s
Answer:
Because of the presence of air resistance
Explanation:
When an object is in free fall, ideally there is only one force acting on it:
- The force of gravity, W = mg, that pushes the object downward (m= mass of the object, g = acceleration of gravity)
However, this is true only in absence of air (so, in a vacuum). When air is present, it exerts a frictional force on the object (called air resistance) with upward direction (opposite to the motion of free fall) and whose magnitude is proportional to the speed of the object.
Therefore, it turns out that as the object falls, its speed increases, and therefore the air resistance acting against it increases too; as a result, the at some point the air resistance becomes equal (in magnitude) to the force of gravity: when this happens, the net acceleration of the object becomes zero, and so the speed of the object does not increase anymore. This speed reached by the object is called terminal velocity.
The continent of Antartica is located at the bottom of the world. the South Pole is at its center. Antarctica is the coldest and windiest place on earth. It is covered with ice up to 3 miles thick. Very few plants and animals can survive here, but penguins, fish, and seals live on the coast and in the seas. No people live on Antarctica permanently, but scientists and tourists visit.
