What is terminal velocity and when is it reached?

Physics
1 answer:
Arada [10]4 years ago
5 0
Terminal velocity is the velocity at which a falling body experience when its weight is equal to the force resistance of force opposing the fall.

At terminal velocity the acceleration of the falling body is zero, which implies that the value at this velocity is constant.

SI
madam [21]

Answer:

p = mv

Explanation:

  • The momentum of a body is defined as the product of its mass and velocity. Its physical symbol is 'p'.
  • The formula for momentum is given by

                               p = mv

         Where,

                                m -  the mass of the body in kg

                                v - velocity of the body in m/s

  • Therefore, the unit of momentum is expressed as the kg m/s
  • The momentum of a body is always associated with its motion. It is a vector quantity and it is directed in the direction of the velocity vector.
  • If a body is at rest, the momentum associated with the body is zero.
  • The momentum plays a significant role in the kinematics of the body. As similar to the energy conservation law, the total momentum of the body is conserved.

Imagine two people , each seating on an office chair with wheels. One pushes against the other Describe what happen next Explain
zaharov [31]

Answer:

The two chairs and those sitting on them will move in nearly opposite directions at almost the same speed (assuming that the wheels can only move into two directions - front or back and assuming that the weight of both people are almost the same)

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law states that If an object X exerts a force on object Y, then object Y must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object X.

In other words, when force is applied from source A at B and in direction of B, B also simultaneously returns the force on B and in the direction of B.

This law applies when we jump off the ground when a rocket takes off from the earth into space, etc.

While standing, the body pushes on the earth with a force equal to its own weight. If the ground underneath the body does not meet that force in an equal and opposite direction,  both standing on the earth will fall into the earth, with the earth caving underneath it.

You can see why it is important to have a strong foundation for a building and why the depth and strength of the foundation will depend on how much weight is going on it.

Cheers!

In a science fiction novel two enemies, Bonzo and Ender, are fighting in outer spce. From stationary positions, they push agains
lara [203]

Answer:

ratio of the masses of the two enemies = 1.7

Explanation:

Applying the law of conservation of momentum,

Momentum fo Bonzo = Momentum of Ender

mv = m'v'................. Equation 1

Where m = mass of Bonzo, v = velocity of Bonzo, m' = mass of Ender, v' = velocity of Ender

m/m' = v'/v............... Equation 2

Where m/m' = ratio of the masses of the two enemies

Given: v = 2.0 m/s, v' = 3.4 m/s

Substitute into equation 2

m/m' = 3.4/2

m/m' = 1.7

Hnece, ratio of the masses of the two enemies = 1.7
