 · free fall is any motion of a body where gravity is the only forceacting upon it. In the context of general relativity, where gravitation is reduced to a space-time curvature, a body in free fall has no force acting on it.

What is the speed of terminal velocity?
ivann1987 [24]
The so-called "terminal velocity" is the fastest that something can fall
through a fluid.  Even though there's a constant force pulling it through,
the friction or resistance of plowing through the surrounding substance
gets bigger as the speed grows, so there's some speed where the resistance
is equal to the pulling force, and then the falling object can't go any faster.

A few examples:
-- the terminal velocity of a sky-diver falling through air,
-- the terminal velocity of a pecan falling through honey,
-- the terminal velocity of a stone falling through water.

It's not possible to say that "the terminal velocity is ----- miles per hour".
If any of these things changes, then the terminal velocity changes too:

-- weight of the falling object
-- shape of the object
-- surface texture (smoothness) of the object
-- density of the surrounding fluid
-- viscosity of the surrounding fluid .

Which item is not considered electromagnetic energy?
suter [353]
Sound waves are known to be the one that's not considered as a type of electromagnetic energy. As for microwaves and x-rays, they tend to share the same frequencies that can be considered as electromagnetic, and sound waves have a different frequency than them.

# 5 what will most likely happen when an air mas of low temperature exists above a water body at a higher temperature?
laila [671]
Answer: Heat will transfer from the water to the air. When a mass of air moves on a warmer surface it is heated by its base. Then thermal instability develops in the lower layers and then extends upwards. If the air initially contained inversions, these are destroyed and a strong gradient is established uniformly in the lower troposphere temperature.

A rocket ship starts from rest and turns on its forward booster rockets causing it to have a constant acceleration of 4 meters p
bagirrra123 [75]

Complete question is;

A rocket ship starts from rest and turns on its forward booster rockets, causing it to have a constant acceleration of 4 m/s² rightward. After 3s, what will be the velocity of the rocket ship?

Answer:

v = 12 m/s

Explanation:

We are given;

Initial velocity; u = 0 m/s (because ship starts from rest)

Acceleration; a = 4 m/s²

Time; t = 3 s

To find velocity after 3 s, we will use Newton's first equation of motion;

v = u + at

v = 0 + (4 × 3)

v = 12 m/s
