When does a falling object reach terminal velocity?

Physics
1 answer:
Ratling [72]3 years ago
5 0

At some speed, the drag or force of resistance will equal the gravitational pull on the object. At this point the object ceases to accelerate and continues falling at a constant speed called the terminal velocity (also called settling velocity).

A flute plays a note with a frequency of 266 Hz. What is the speed of sound if the wavelength is 1.3 m?
hjlf

Wave speed  =  (frequency)  x  (wavelength)

                       =  (266 /sec)  x  (1.3 meters)

                       =     345.8 meters/sec

Two blocks of masses m and 3m are placed on a frictionless, horizontal surface. A light spring is attached to the more massive b
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Conservation of momentum is followed

m₁ v₁  = m₂ v₂

3m x 2 = m  v

v = 6 m/s

Total kinetic energy

= 1/2 x .35 x 6 ² + 1/2 x 1.05 x 2 ²

= 8.4 J

This energy must be stored as elastic energy in the spring which was released as kinetic energy on burning the cord.

Yes , the conservation of momentum will be followed  in the bursting apart process. Only internal forces have been involved in the process. Two equal and opposite internal forces are created by spring which creates motion and generates kinetic energy.

A decrease in the magnitude of the velocity is called
allochka39001 [22]
That's one of the three changes that are called "acceleration".

The other two are:

-- increase in the magnitude

-- change in direction.

Some might call a decrease in the magnitude "deceleration".
