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.

A thin, rectangular sheet of metal has mass M and sides of length a and b. Find the moment of inertia of this sheet about an axi
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The moment of inertia is I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is equal:

I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2} } \, dm

If r is -\frac{a}{2}

and dm=\frac{M}{a} dr

I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2}\frac{M}{a}  } \, dr\\a=\frac{a}{2} \\b=-\frac{a}{2}

I=\frac{M}{a} \int\limits^a_b {r^{2}  } \, dr\\\\I=\frac{M}{a} (\frac{M}{3} )_{b}^{a}\\  I=\frac{M}{3a} (\frac{a^{3} }{8} +\frac{a^{3} }{8} )\\I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 48 and its mass number is 167?
lys-0071 [83]
If its atomic number is 48, then it has 48 protons in the nucleus
of each atom.  Any more mass than that is supplied by the neutrons
that are mixed in there with the protons.

If the mass is 167, and 48 of those are protons, then there are

             (167 - 48)  =  119 neutrons

in each nucleus.

The speed of an object and the direction in which it moves constitute a vector quantity known as the velocity. an ostrich is run
Orlov [11]
Velocity of an object is its rate of change of the object's position per interval of time. Velocity is a vector quantity which means that it consists of a magnitude and a direction. Magnitude is represented by the speed and the direction is represented by the angle. To determine the velocity components, we use trigonometric functions to determine the angle of the components. For the north component we, use the sine function while, for the west component, we use the cosine function. We calculate as follows:
north velocity component = (16.8 m/s) (sin 54°) = 16.4 m/s
<span>west velocity component = (16.8 m/s) (cos 54°) = 3.49 m/s</span>
