How would the terminal velocity of a piece of tissue paper compare to the terminal velocity of a rock?

Answer: Rock require larger drag force and to achieve it rock need to move at a very high terminal velocity.  

Explanation: Terminal velocity is defined as the final velocity attained by an object falling under the gravity. At this moment weight is balanced by the air resistance or drag force and body falls with zero acceleration i.e. with a constant velocity.

Case 1: Terminal velocity of a piece of tissue paper.

The weight of tissue paper is very less and it experiences an air resistance while falling downward under the effect of gravity.

Downward gravitational force, F = mg

Upward air resistance or friction or drag force will be f_{1}

So, paper will attain terminal velocity when mg =  f_{1}

Case 2: Rock is very heavy and require larger air resistance to balance the weight of rock relative to the tissue paper case.

Downward force on rock, F = Mg

Drag force = f_{2}

Rock will attain terminal velocity when Mg = f_{2}

Mg > mg

so, f_{2} > f_{1}

And rock require larger drag force and to achieve it rock need to move at a very high terminal velocity.

Explain how tidal forces are causing Earth to slow down.
dybincka [34]

Answer: The tidal forces exerted by the moon are directly associated with the earth's rotation. Due to the strong gravitational pull of the moon, the tidal bulging appears on both the sides on earth and these are region of high tide, and there is gradual rise and fall of sea level.

Because of these tidal effect, the earth is able to rotate only once in each of the orbital period.

Temka [501]
Similar elements with similar properties were in the same groups and periods for instance lithium(Li) and sodium(Na) are alkaline metals and so belong to the same group (that is group 1).Also Hydrogen(H) and Helium(He) both have only one shell or energy level and so belong to the same period.
