What is the speed of terminal velocity?

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 .

Four objects are situated along the y axis as follows: a 1.99-kg object is at 2.99 m, a 2.96-kg object is at 2.57 m, a 2.43-kg o
Dominik [7]

Answer:

The center of mass for the object is  y_c = 1.063 \  m from the origin

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the first object is  m_1 =  1.99 \  kg

   The position of first object with respect to origin y_1 =  2.99 \ m

   The mass of the second object is  m_2 =  2.96 \  kg

   The position of second object with respect to origin y_2 =  2.57 \ m

   The mass of the third object is  m_3 =  2.43  \  kg

   The position of third object with respect to origin y_3 =  0 \ m

   The mass of the fourth object is  m_3 =  3.96  \  kg

   The position of fourth object with respect to origin y_3 =  -0.502  \ m

Generally the center of mass of the object along the x-axis is  zero  because all the mass lie on the y axis

Generally the location of the center mass of the object is mathematically represented as

    y_c = \frac{m_1 * y_1 + m_2 * y_2 + m_3 * y_3 + m_4 * y_4}{m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + m_4}

=>y_c = \frac{1.99 * 2.99 + 2.96 * 2.57 + 2.43 * 0 + 3.96 * (-0.502)}{1.99+ 2.96  + 2.43 + 3.96}

=>y_c = 1.063 \  m

We have discovered some exoplanets that are still forming from a nebula. How might those planets change over time?
Rudik [331]
Based on several theories made by scientists, planets are formed because of the accumulation of gases and other particles that are attracted to each other. These accumulated gases form into clumps and eventually the clumps get bigger and turn into a big orbital mass. The exoplanets may experience change over time through the observance of its orbit in a particular axis, and if there are other debris that might affect the planet's continuous growth.
