What is the speed of terminal velocity?

Physics

ivann1987 [24]4 years ago
4 0
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 .

En un rio una Onda viaja con una velocidad de propagación de 50 m/s con una longitud de Onda de 40 metros. Hallar la frecuencia
sattari [20]

Answer:

Frequencia = 1.25 Hz

Explanation:

<u>Dados los siguientes datos;</u>

  • Velocidad = 50 m/s
  • Longitud de onda = 40 metros

Para encontrar la frecuencia de la onda;

Matemáticamente, la velocidad de una onda viene dada por la fórmula;

Velocidad = Longitud \; de \; onda * Frequencia

Haciendo de la frecuencia el tema de la fórmula, tenemos;

Frequencia = \frac {Velocidad}{Longitud \; de \; onda}

Sustituyendo en la fórmula, tenemos;

Frequencia = \frac {50}{40}

<em>Frequencia = 1.25 Hz</em>
