Can a falling object reach terminal velocity in outer space? Explain.

1 answer:

6 0

Ith air resistance acting on an object that has been dropped, the object will eventually reach a terminal velocity, which is around 53 m/s (195 km/h or 122 mph) for a human skydiver. ... (On the Moon, the gravitational acceleration is much less than on Earth, approximately 1.6 m/s2.)

You see lightning and 30 seconds later you hear thunder. how far away is the thunderstorm? take the speed of sound to be 339 m/s

Jobisdone [24]

Let the observer be 'd' distance away from the thunderstorm and let light take 't' time to reach the observer
Since the speed of sound and light remains constant in a particular medium, we can use
Speed = Distance/Time

For light,
3 x 10^8 = d/t
t = d/(3 x 10^8) -1

For sound,
339 = d/(t + 30) -2

Putting value from 1 in 2.
d = 10^4 m(approx)
