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).

If a ball is 10m high with what velocity will it fall?
Semmy [17]

14m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Height of the ball = 10m

Unknown:

Velocity of fall or final velocity = ?

Solution:

We are going to use the appropriate equation of motion to solve this problem.

The object is falling with respect to gravity.

  V² = U² + 2gH

where V is the final velocity

            U is the initial velocity

             g is the acceleration due to gravity 9.8m/s²

             H is the height of fall

The initial velocity here is zero and

      V² = 2 x 9.8 x 10 = 196

       V = 14m/s

Gala2k [10]

Explanation:

It is a 1-minute averaged measure of the hurricane's maximum winds. Westerlies are one of the breeze belts helping to shape and guide hurricanes. A tropical cyclone is a quickly spinning storm system with a low-pressure core, a closed small-level air vortex, gusty winds, and a thunder storm spiral structure that causes torrential rain or squalls.
