The viscous force on an object moving through air is proportional to its velocity.
The only forces acting on an object when falling are air resistance and its weight itself. The weight acts vertically downwards whereas air resistance acts vertically upward.
Let F be the viscous force due to air molecules, B be buoyant force due to air and W be the weight of falling object. Initially, the velocity of falling object and hence the viscous force F is zero and the object is accelerated due to force
(W-B). Because of the acceleration the velocity increases and accordingly the viscous force also increases. At a certain instant, the viscous force becomes equal to W-B. The net force then becomes zero and the object falls with constant velocity. This constant velocity is called terminal velocity.
Thus at terminal velocity, air resistance and force of gravity becomes equal.
Answer:
F(Mars) = 2 G m M / (4 R)^2 force of Sun on Mars
F(Merc) = G m M / R^2 force of force of Sun on Mercury
R = distance of Sun from Mercury, m = mass of Mercury
F(Merc) / F(Mars) = 4^2 / 2 = 8

Explanation:
<u>Answer:</u>
The height of ramp = 124.694 m
<u>Explanation:</u>
Using second equation of motion,
From the question,
u = 31 m/s; s = 156.3 m, a=0
substituting values
t = 
= 5.042 s
Similary, for the case of landing
t = 5.042 s; initial velocity, u =0
acceleration = acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.81 
Substituting in 
h = 124.694 m
So height of ramp = 124.694 m
