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 .
Answer:
A longitudinal wave is a wave where the movement of the medium is in the same direction as the wave. On the other hand, a transverse wave is a wave where the movement of the medium is at a right angle to the wave direction.
Explanation:i got this right on a quiz so i know its right
Decreases, stays the same, increases.
The volume decreases because as air is cooled, the individual molecules collectively possess less kinetic energy and the distances between them decrease, thus leading to a decrease in the volume they occupy at a certain pressure (please note that my answer only holds under constant pressure; air, as a gas, doesn't actually have a definite volume).
The mass stays the same because physical processes do not create or destroy matter. The law of conservation of mass is obeyed. You're only cooling the air, not adding more air molecules.
The density decreases because as the volume decreases and mass stays the same, you have the same mass occupying a smaller volume. Density is mass divided by volume, so as mass is held constant and volume decreases, density increases.

Answer:
The fence is 5feet less.
Explanation:
We need to determine
The less amount of fence required, if the enclosure has full width and reduced length, compared to full length and reduced width.
Approach & WorkingArea of lawn = 30 × 403/4th of the area of lawn = ¾(30 × 40) = 30 * 30
When full width will be fenced, and reduced length will be fenced.
Width = 30 feet30 * L = 30 * 30Hence, length = 30 feetLength of fence needed = 2(30 + 30) = 120 feet
When full length will be fenced, and reduced width will be fenced
Length = 40 feet40 * W = 30 * 30W = 22.5 feetLength of fence needed = 2(40 + 22.5) = 125 feet
Difference in length of fence needed = 125 – 120 = 5 feet.
