Using the word "Terminal" which means end, we can conclude that, in a nutshell, terminal velocity is when an object reaches a speed where it cannot go any faster. For example, if you jumped of the Empire State building, before you went "KURSPAT!" on the pavement below, you would enter Terminal Velocity. Your fall off the Empire State building would also be "terminal". eh? Hahahaha never try a physics joke.

The buoyant force on an object fully submerged in a liquid depends on (select all that apply)

Natasha_Volkova [10]

2. The object's volume.
3. The density of the liquid.
Remember what the buoyant force is. It's the lifting force caused by the displacement of a fluid. I'm using the word fluid because it can be either a liquid or gas. For instance a helium balloon floats due to the buoyant force exceeding the mass of the balloon. So let's look at the options and see what's correct.
1. Object's mass
* This doesn't affect the buoyant force directly. It can have an effect if the object's mass is lower than the buoyant force being exerted. Think of a boat as an example. The boat is floating on the top of the water. If cargo is loaded into the boat, the boat sinks further into the water until the increased buoyant force matches the increased mass of the boat. But if the density of the object exceeds the density of the fluid, then increasing the mass of the object will not affect the buoyant force. So this is a bad choice.
2. The object's volume.
* Yes, this directly affects the buoyant force. So this is a good choice.
3. The density of the liquid.
* Yes, this directly affects the buoyant force. You can drop a piece of iron into water and it will sink. You could also drop that same piece of iron into mercury and it will float. The reason is that mercury has a much higher density than water. So this is a good choice.
4. Mass of the liquid
* No. Do not mistake mass for density. As a mental exercise, imagine the buoyant force on a small piece of metal dropped into a swimming pool. Now imagine the buoyant force on that same piece of metal dropped into a lake. In both cases, the buoyant force is the same, yet the lake has a far greater mass of water than the swimming pool. So this is a bad choice.

What effect does an unbalanced force have on an object?

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

An unbalanced force can change an object's motion. An unbalanced force acting on a still object could make the object start moving. An unbalanced force acting on a moving object could make the object change direction, change speed, or stop moving.

in a car moving at constant acceleration, you travel 230 mm between the instants at which the speedometer reads 40 km/hkm/h and

Ronch [10]

The acceleration of the car is 0.8049 $m/s^{2}$ .It takes 13.802s to travel the 230 m.

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

In mechanics, acceleration refers to the rate at which an object's velocity with respect to time varies. Acceleration is a vector quantity (in that they have magnitude and direction). The direction of an object's acceleration is determined by the direction of the net force acting on it. Newton's Second Law states that the combined effect of two factors determines how much an item accelerates:

(i) It follows that the magnitude of the net balance of all external forces acting on the object is directly proportional to the magnitude of this net resulting force, and

(ii) the mass of the thing, depending on the materials out of which it is constructed, is inversely proportional to the mass of the thing.

Calculations:

40 km/hr ----- 11.11m/s

80 km/hr ----- 22.22m/s

$v^{2} -u^{2} =2as\\22.22^{2} - 11.11^{2} = 2 x a x 230\\ 370.296=460a\\ a= 0.8049m/s^{2} \\$
