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 .

Which is an example of current electricity
Reil [10]

Answer:

A or B you choose

Explanation:

This is called current electricity or an electric current. A lightning bolt is one example of an electric current, although it does not last very long. Electric currents are also involved in powering all the electrical appliances that you use, from washing machines to flashlights and from telephones to MP3 players.

what is an electrical current, amp, ampere Current is the flow of electrons. When a circuit is closed then a current of electrons can flow and when a circuit is open then no current can flow. We can measure the flow of electrons just like you can measure the flow of water through a pipe.

What is one advantage of using electromagnets instead of permanent magnets
zimovet [89]
The main advantage of an electromagnet over a permanent magnet is that the magnetic field can be quickly changed by controlling the amount of electric current in the winding. However, unlike a permanent magnet that needs no power, an electromagnet requires a continuous supply of current to maintain the magnetic field.

If we put negative charge between two similar positive charges then what is it's equilibrium? And how?​
Gnesinka [82]

Your question has been heard loud and clear.

Well it depends on the magnitude of charges. Generally , when both positive charges have the same magnitude , their equilibrium point is towards the centre joining the two charges. But if magnitude of one positive charge is higher than the other , then the equilibrium point will be towards the charge having lesser magnitude.

Now , a negative charge is placed in between the two positive charges. So , if both positive charges have same magnitude , they both pull the negative charge towards each other with an equal force. Thus the equilibrium point will be where the negative charge is placed because , both forces are equal , and opposite , so they cancel out each other at the point where the negative charge is placed. However if they are of different magnitudes , then the equilibrium point will be shifted towards the positive charge having less magnitude.

Thank you

1. An object is projected upward with a velocity of 125 m/s.
grigory [225]

Answer:

A) s = 796.38 m

B) t = 12.742 s

C) T = 25.484 s

Explanation:

A) First of all let's find the time it takes to get to maximum height using Newton's first equation of motion.

v = u + gt

u = 125 m/s

v = 0 m/s

g = 9.81 m/s²

Thus;

0 = 125 - 9.81(t)

g is negative because motion is against gravity. Thus;

9.81t = 125

t = 125/9.81

t = 12.742 s

Max height will be gotten from Newton's 2nd equation of motion;

s = ut + ½gt²

s = (125 × 12.742) + (½ × -9.81 × 12.742²)

s = 1592.75 - 796.37

s = 796.38 m

B) time to reach maximum height is;

t = u/g

t = 125/9.81

t = 12.742 s

C) Total time elapsed is;

T = 2u/g

T = 2 × 125/9.81

T = 25.484 s
