The correct answer to the question is : Air resistance.

EXPLANATION:

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand the terminal velocity.

An object is said to be moving with terminal velocity if the net force acting on the object is zero i.e the body is non accelerating.

As per the question, the object is falling under gravity. The force of gravity acts in vertical downward direction.

Except gravity, the object is also under air resistance. It is the force which opposes the motion of the object, and acts in vertical upward direction.

If the air resistance becomes equal to force of gravity, then the net force acting on the object is zero . It is so because two forces act in opposite direction.

In case of liquids, the resistance force is called as viscosity.

Hence, the correct answer to the question is air resistance.

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Low pressure systems typically arrive with storms and clouds. Air motion is usually upwards, as heated are is less dense and more buoyant than cooler air. A high pressure system is typically cooler than its counter-part, and skies are usually clear. Low pressure systems carry more water vapor due to rising hot air cooling and condensing.

A gymnast is swinging on a high bar. The distance between his waist and the bar is 0.905 m, as the drawing shows. At the top of

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

5.959 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of gymnast

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

$h_i$ = Initial height

$h_f$ = Final height

From conservation of Energy

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mgh_f=\frac{1}{2}mu^2+mgh_i\\\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}mv^2+mg0=\frac{1}{2}m0^2+mgh_i\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh_i\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh_i}$

$h_i=2r$

$v=\sqrt{4gr}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{4\times 9.81\times 0.905}\\\Rightarrow v=5.959\ m/s$

Velocity of gymnast at bottom of swing is 5.959 m/s

1. A uniform magnetic field is directed vertically upwards. In which direction in this field should an alpha particle be project

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

1. Fleming's left hand rule

2. It must be projected towards the east

Explanation:

Fleming's left-hand rule states that; When a current-carrying conductor is placed in an external magnetic field, the conductor experiences a force perpendicular to both the field and to the direction of the current flow. This rule was first put forward by John Ambrose Fleming in the later part of the nineteenth century.

Hence if the thumb, fore finger and middle finger of the lefthand are held mutually at right angles to each other; the thumb shows the direction of motion, the fore finger shows the direction of the field while the middle finger shows the direction of the current.

Hence, if the alpha particle is projected eastwards(at right angles) to the uniform magnetic field, it will be deflected southwards in the magnetic field.
