What is the speed of terminal velocity?

Physics

ivann1987 [24]3 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 .

As keisha runs the generator, which best describes what should happen to the needle that measures electric current? it will move
SOVA2 [1]

The diagram shows a simple electric generator. The needle that measures electric current will move back and forth between a largely positive and a large negative value.

  • What is an electric generator?
  1. An electric generator is physically equivalent to an electric motor. but it converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
  2. The electrical field generated is dependent on the inclination of the wire with respect to magnetic field lines, and this inclination changes over time,

because of that she will experience a varying electrical field, and thus a varying electric current will be zero.

The maximum positive value will occur when the wire is perpendicular to the magnetic field lines after one-fourth of rotation, and then zero.

Hence option C is correct.

The diagram shows a simple electric generator. The needle that measures electric current will move back and forth between a largely positive and a large negative value.

Along the line connecting the two charges, at what distance from the charge q1 is the total electric field from the two charges
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

r = d (\frac{\sqrt {q_1}}{\sqrt{q_1} + \sqrt{q_2}})

Explanation:

Here two charges are placed at distance "d" apart

now the net value of electric field at some position between two charges will be ZERO

so we will have

electric field due to charge 1 = electric field due to charge 2

E_1 = E_2

Let the position where net field is zero will lie at distance "r" from q1

\frac{kq_1}{r^2} = \frac{kq_2}{(d-r)^2}

now we will have

\frac{(d - r)^2}{r^2} = \frac{q_2}{q_1}

now square root both sides

\frac{d}{r} - 1 = \sqrt{\frac{q_2}{q_1}}

now we have

\frac{d}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{q_2}{q_1}} + 1

so we have

r = d (\frac{\sqrt {q_1}}{\sqrt{q_1} + \sqrt{q_2}})

A handful of professional skaters have taken a skateboard through an inverted loop in a full pipe. For a typical pipe with a dia
Bingel [31]

Answer

given,

diameter of the pipe is  =  (14 ft)4.27 m

minimum speed of the skater must have at very top = ?

At the topmost point of the pipe the  normal force will be equal to zero.

F = mg

centripetal force acting on the skateboard

F = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}

equating both the force equation

mg = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}

v = \sqrt{gr}

r = d/2 = 14/ 2 = 7 ft

or

r = 4.27/2 = 2.135 m

g = 32 ft/s²   or g = 9.8 m/s²

v = \sqrt{32 \times 7}

v = 14.96 ft/s

or

v = \sqrt{9.8 \times 2.135}

v = 4.57 m/s
