The so-called "terminal velocity" is the fastest that something can fall
through a fluid. Even though there's a constant force pulling it through,
the friction or resistance of plowing through the surrounding substance
gets bigger as the speed grows, so there's some speed where the resistance
is equal to the pulling force, and then the falling object can't go any faster.
A few examples:
-- the terminal velocity of a sky-diver falling through air,
-- the terminal velocity of a pecan falling through honey,
-- the terminal velocity of a stone falling through water.
It's not possible to say that "the terminal velocity is ----- miles per hour".
If any of these things changes, then the terminal velocity changes too:
-- weight of the falling object
-- shape of the object
-- surface texture (smoothness) of the object
-- density of the surrounding fluid
-- viscosity of the surrounding fluid .
Answer:
An asteroid moving at a constant speed through space.
Explanation:
Answer:
7.45 s.
Explanation:
Given:
h = 68.1 m
vi = 0 m/s
vf = 42.4 m/s
g = 9.81 m/s^2
Using,
h = vi*t +1/2*(a*t^2)
68.1 = 1/2 * (9.81*t^2)
t = sqrt((68.1*2)/9.81)
= 3.726 s.
Total time of flight = 2*t
= 2 * 3.726
= 7.45 s.
Answer:
x=4.06m
Explanation:
A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated movement", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.
When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are as follows.
Vf=Vo+a.t (1)\\\\
{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X(2)\\\\
X=Xo+ VoT+0.5at^{2} (3)\\
Where
Vf = final speed
Vo = Initial speed
T = time
A = acceleration
X = displacement
In conclusion to solve any problem related to a body that moves with constant acceleration we use the 3 above equations and use algebra to solve
for this problem
Vf=7.6m/s
t=1.07
Vo=0
we can use the ecuation number one to find the acceleration
a=(Vf-Vo)/t
a=(7.6-0)/1.07=7.1m/s^2
then we can use the ecuation number 2 to find the distance
{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X
(7.6^2-0^2)/(2x7.1)=4.06m
