If earth had no atmosphere would a falling object ever reach terminal velocity

Physics
1 answer:
Bond [772]3 years ago
6 0
Terminal velocity is caused by friction between an object and the atmosphere, causing it to only go so fast.  If there is no atmosphere, there is no friction between the object, so it will accelerate forever.

Leno4ka [110]

Complete Question:

The momentum of an object is determined to be 7.2 × 10-3 kg⋅m/s. Express this quantity as provided or use any equivalent unit. (Note: 1 kg = 1000 g).

Answer:

7.2 gm/s.

Explanation:

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

Momentum = mass * velocity

Given the following data;

Momentum = 7.2 * 10^-3 kgm/s

1 kg = 1000 g

Substituting the unit in kilograms with grams, we have;

Momentum = 7.2 * 10^-3 * 1000 gm/s

<em>Momentum = 7.2 gm/s. </em>

A crate of oranges with a total mass of 6.7 kg is being pulled across a skating rink (frictionless) with a rope that makes an an
Mama L [17]

Answer:

36.74 N

Explanation:

Given that:

A crate of oranges with a total mass  (m) = 6.7 kg

angle θ = 0.7 rad

angle θ = 0.7 * \frac{180}{\pi}

angle θ = 40°

acceleration = 4.2 m/s²

Given that:

T cosθ  = ma

T cos 40° = 6.7 × 4.2

T = \frac { 6.7 * 4.2}{cos \ 40}

T = \frac { 28.14}{0.7660}

T = 36.74 N

Thus, the tension in the rope = 36.74 N

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

0.21 lunar month

Explanation:

the radius of moon = r₁

time period of the moon = T₁ = 1 lunar month

The radius of the satellite = 0.35 r₁

Time period of satellite

The relation between time period and radius

              T\ \alpha\ \sqrt{r^3}

now,

              \dfrac{T_2}{T_1}=\dfrac{\sqrt{r_2^3}}{\sqrt{r_1^3}}

              \dfrac{T_2}{T_1}=\dfrac{\sqrt{0.35^3r_1^3}}{\sqrt{r_1^3}}

              \dfrac{T_2}{1}=\sqrt{0.35^3}

                              T₂ = 0.21 lunar month

hence, the time period of revolution of satellite is equal to 0.21 lunar month
