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 .
Sunday, July 20, marked 45 years since the United States put the first two astronauts safely on the moon. The cost for the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs was more than $25 billion at the time more like $110 billion in today’s world. The ensuing U.S. space efforts have cost an additional $196 billion for the shuttle and $50 billion for the space station. NASA’s total inflation-adjusted costs have been more than $900 billion since its creation in 1958 through 2014 (more than $16 billion per year). Looking back, have we gotten our money’s worth from the investment?

Answer:
f₂ = 468.67 Hz
Explanation:
A beat is a sudden increase and decrease of sound. The beats are produced through the interference of two sound waves of slightly different frequencies. Now we have the following data:
The higher frequency tone = f₁ = 470 Hz
No. of beats = n = 4 beats
Time period = t = 3 s
The lower frequency note = Frequency of Friend's Trombone = f₂ = ?
Beat Frequency = fb
So, the formula for beats per second or beat frequency is given as:
fb = n/t
fb = 4 beats/ 3 s
fb = 1.33 Hz
Another formula for beat frequency is:
fb = f₁ - f₂
f₂ = f₁ - fb
f₂ = 470 Hz - 1.33 Hz
<u>f₂ = 468.67 Hz</u>
Answer:
|x| = √53
Explanation:
We are told that the vector starts at the point (0.0) and ends at (2,-7) .
Thus, magnitude of displacement is;
|x| = √(((-7) - 0)² + (2 - 0)²)
|x| = √(49 + 4)
|x| = √53
Answer:
588 J
Explanation:
PE (potential energy) = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)
mass = 12 kg
gravity = 9.8m/s^2
height = 5 m
PE = (12) x (9.8) x (5) = 588 J (Joules)
