Can a falling object reach terminal velocity in outer space?

Physics

yan [13]3 years ago

Answer: lth air resistance acting on an object that has been dropped, the object will eventually reach a terminal velocity, which is around 53 m/s (195 km/h or 122 mph) for a human skydiver (on the moon, the gravitational acceleration is much less on earth, approximately 1.6 m/s2.)

Answer:

There is no gravity in outer space so how will any object fall in the first place

Also the principle of terminal velocity is limited to free fall where the acceleration is equal to the gravity of the planet

A body is dropped from the roof of a 20 m high building by how much:
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

t = 2.01 s

Vf = 19.7 m/s

Explanation:

It's know through the International System that the earth's gravity is 9.8 m/s², then we have;

Data:

  • Height (h) = 20 m
  • Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Time (t) = ?
  • Final Velocity (Vf) = ?

==================================================================

Time

Use formula:

  • \boxed{t=\sqrt{\frac{2*h}{g}}}

Replace:

  • \boxed{t=\sqrt{\frac{2*20m}{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}}

Everything inside the root is solved first. So, we solve the multiplication of the numerator:

  • \boxed{t=\sqrt{\frac{40m}{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}}

It divides:

  • \boxed{t=\sqrt{4.08s}}

The square root is performed:

  • \boxed{t=2.01s}

==================================================================

Final Velocity

use formula:

  • Vf = g * t

Replace:

  • Vf = 9.8 m/s² * 2.01 s

Multiply:

  • Vf = 19.7 m/s

==================================================================

What separates the terrestrial planets from the jovian or gas planets in space?
Flura [38]
In our solar system, terrestrial planets are separated from the gas giants by the asteroid belt. The asteroid belt is a region in the solar system between Mars and Jupiter where asteroids are located. Gas giants do not have a solid surface and possible a small rocky core. The gas giants are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The first four planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

As an emergency vehicle approaches Bob and moves away from Jill, how does the actual frequency of the siren change? A) As an eme
Tamiku [17]
The correct answer is: 
<span>C) The actual frequency of the siren does not change despite appearances.

In fact, Bob will observe an increase in the apparent frequency as the emergency vehicle approaches him, while Jill will observe a decrease in the apparent frequency as the emergency vehicle moves away from him, because of the Doppler effect (the relative velocity between the observer and the source of the sound is changing), but this effect involves the apparent frequency, while the real frequency of the siren will remain the same.</span>

solution:

radius of steel ball(r)=5cm=0.05m

density of ball =8000kgm

terminal velocity(v)=25m/s^2

density of air( d) =1.29 kgm

now

volume of ball(V)=4/3pir^3=1.33×3.14×0.05^3=0.00052 m^3

density of ball= mass of ball/Volume of ball

or, 8000=m/0.00052

or, m=4.16 kg

weight of the ball (W)= mg=4.16×10=41.6 N

viscous force(F)=6 × pi × eta × r × v

=6×3.14×eta×0.05×25

=23.55×eta

To attain the terminal velocity,

Fiscous force=Weight

or, 23.55× eta = 41.6

or, eta = 1.76

whete eta is the coefficient of viscosity.
