How are gravity and air friction related to a raindrop’s terminal velocity?

Biology
1 answer:
gulaghasi [49]3 years ago
6 0

Gravity causes the raindrop to accelerate to the ground at a rate of 10m/s². However, air friction acts against this gravitational acceleration by reducing the rate of acceleration of the raindrops. The higher the friction surface of the raindrops the lower the terminal velocity.

For larger distances such as the distance between objects in the far reaches of our galaxy astronomers ensure in units of?
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Lightyears

Explanation:

When dealing with very large interstellar distances, astronomers do not use the regular miles, kilometers, or meters we are used to. This is because they are just too small to be used as a metric when measuring such large distances. As a matter of fact, the earthly number system will quickly be exhausted when trying to measure some of these interstellar distances.

Instead, astronomers make use of Lightyears. Lightyears are defined by the distance traveled by an object moving at the speed of light if it was moving constantly at that speed for one year.

This can properly be used to estimate interstellar distances. since its value is very large. 1 lightyear = 9,461,000,000,000 Km

If we say that our closest star is 9 lightyears away, we are saying that it will take an object moving at the speed of light 9 years to travel from that star to our planet.

What is Grave's disease?
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Graves´ disease is an autoinmmune disease that is caused when the immune system attacks the cells of the thyroid gland, which leads to an overproduction of the hormones secreted by the thyroid gland. This constant attack and destruction on the part of the immune cells causes the thyroid to increase in size, a condition that is commonly known as hyperthyroidism.

Hyperthyroidism can become a really serious issue because the excessive production of the hormones of the thyroid gland will increase the metabolic activity of all parts of the body and can, if left untreated, cause such serious conditions as blood clotting problems, type 1 diabetes, among others.
