Terminal speed is the maximum speed that a falling object can reach and is based on aerodynamic resistance. In a vacuum, an object falling toward a planet as a result of gravity will continue to accelerate until it hits the ground.

However, if the object is falling through an atmosphere, such as on earth, then it will accelerate up to the point that the aerodynamic resistance cancels the downward force due to gravity, and it travels at a constant maximum speed, called the terminal velocity. At this point, resistance is equal to acceleration due to gravity. At terminal velocity, the skydiver's acceleration is zero.

Answer:

  • <u>Terminal Speed:</u>  

When a body starts a free fall motion towards the planet earth's surface or the ground it is under the free fall motion, which means that there is a net force,F(gravity) applied on it by the planet. Now, there will be also the mass,m of the object which will tend to move much faster towards the earth. But, a point will come when the total amount of tension due to the moment of the object balances with the gravitational pull of the planet.As, there is a net constant speed attained by the object in moving towards the surface of the planet.

  • <u>The air resistance,R(due air):</u>

The gravitational force and the tension presented by the motion equals,as  the motion becomes more constant in nature covering each point in equal intervals of time. Because, the upthrust force becomes equal to the downward force presented by the object itself.

Upthrust force= Downward force.

  • <u>Acceleration during free fall motion:</u>

The value of acceleration,a will be same for each and every object moving towards the planet with a terminal velocity,Vt. As, it will be 9.8 m/sec² which is supposed for each object, irrespective of its properties and size.

Example: When paratrooper jumps from a plane, at first he is moving with the increasing speed and velocity but when he reaches a point or level where the upthrust force provided by the drag and the downward force due to the gravity of planet levels, the body attains the acceleration value around 9.8 m/sec².

Why is it not necessary for radio telescope surfaces to be as smooth as a mirror?
Law Incorporation [45]
It doesn't on account of radio waves are longer than optical waves. Radio waves are a sort of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths in the electromagnetic range longer than infrared light. These long waves are in the radio locale of the electromagnetic range.

A truck is carrying a steel beam of length 13.0 m on a freeway. An accident causes the beam to be dumped off the truck and slide
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

emf= 9.88 \times 10^{-3} T

Explanation:

Given:

  • Length of the beam, l=13\,m
  • speed of the beam, v=20\,m.s^{-1}
  • magnitude of the vertical magnetic field, B=38\times 10^{-6} T

According to the Faraday's law the emf induced in a rod passing transversely through a magnetic field is given as:

emf= l.v.B

emf=13\times 20\times 38\times 10^{-6}

emf= 9.88 \times 10^{-3} T

A descending elevator of mass 1,000 kg is uniformly decelerated to rest over a distance of 8 m by a cable in which the tension i
Stolb23 [73]

The speed  V_{i} of the elevator at the beginning of the 8 m descent is nearly 4 m/s. Hence, option A is the correct answer.

We are given that-

the mass of the elevator (m) = 1000 kg ;

the distance the elevator decelerated to be y = 8m ;

the tension is T = 11000 N;

let us determine the acceleration 'a' by using Newton's second law of motion.

∑Fy = ma

W - T = ma

(1000kg x 9.8 m/s² ) - 11000N = 1000 kg x a

9800 - 11000 = 1000

a = - 1.2 m/s²

Using the equation of kinematics to determine the initial velocity.

V_{f} ² = V_{i}² + 2ay

V_{i} = √ ( 2 x 1.2m/s² x 8 m )

V_{i} = √19.2 m²/s²

V_{i} = 4.38 m/s   ≈ 4 m/s

Hence, the initial velocity of the elevator is 4m/s.
