What is the speed of terminal velocity?

Physics

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 .

inysia [295]

Answer:

4.42 x 10⁷ W/m²

Explanation:

A = energy absorbed = 500 J

η = efficiency = 0.90

E = Total energy

Total energy is given as

E = A/η

E = 500/0.90

E = 555.55 J

t = time = 4.00 s

Power of the beam is given as

P = E /t

P = 555.55/4.00

P = 138.88 Watt

d = diameter of the circular spot = 2.00 mm = 2 x 10⁻³ m

Area of the circular spot is given as

A = (0.25) πd²

A = (0.25) (3.14) (2 x 10⁻³)²

A = 3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²

Intensity of the beam is given as

I = P /A

I = 138.88 / (3.14 x 10⁻⁶)

I = 4.42 x 10⁷ W/m²

Bromine, a liquid at room temperature, has a boiling point
lukranit [14]

Yes it does !  The so-called "boiling point" is the temperature at which Bromine liquid can change state and become Bromine vapor, if enough additional thermal energy is provided.  The boiling point is higher than room temperature.

Alternative sources of energy include : geothermal
baherus [9]

Answer:

All of the above

Explanation:

The correct answer is option E (All of the above)

All the options are alternative source of energy.

The option given are not the traditional way (energy production from coal) of extracting energy as the loss of natural resources does not take place in these source of energy.

energy extracted from wind,  solar light , hydrogen ,etc are the source of energy  the alternative source of production of energy because do not exploit the natural resources, reduce the carbon emission and energy produced by them is clean energy.
