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 .

Noble Gases do not readily form compounds because they ___ chemically stable with 8 valence electrons
azamat

Answer : Noble Gases do not readily form compounds because they are chemically stable with 8 valence electrons.

Explanation :

Noble gases are the chemical elements that are present in group 18 in the periodic table.

The elements are helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon and radon.

They are chemically most stable except helium due to having the maximum number of 8 valence electrons can hold their outermost shell that means they have a complete octet.

They are rarely reacts with other elements to form compounds by gaining or losing electrons since they are already chemically stable.

Hence, the noble Gases do not readily form compounds because they are chemically stable with 8 valence electrons.

What’s the velocity of a sound wave traveling through air at a temperature of 18°C (64.4°F)?
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

342 m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of sound in air is approximated as:

v ≈ 331.4 + 0.6 T

where v is the velocity in m/s and T is the temperature in Celsius.

At T = 18:

v ≈ 331.4 + 0.6 (18)

v ≈ 342.2

The velocity is approximately 342 m/s.
