What happens to the forces acting on a falling object at terminal velocity?

Physics
1 answer:
xenn [34]3 years ago

Answer: Objects falling through a fluid eventually reach terminal velocity. At terminal velocity, the object moves at a steady speed in a constant direction because the resultant force acting on it is zero.

disa [49]

The sign associated with the average velocity of the object is negative.

<h3>Average velocity of the object</h3>

The average velocity of the object is calculated as follows;

Average velocity = (v1 + v2)/2

v1 = -20/30 = -0.667 m/s

v2 = 20/50 = 0.4 m/s

Average velocity = (-0.667 + 0.4)/2

Average velocity  = -0.134 m/s

Thus, the sign associated with the average velocity of the object is negative.

If you unbend a paper clip made from 1.5 millimeter diameter wire and push one end against the wall, what force must you apply t
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

The force is  F =  21.48 \ N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The diameter of the wire is  d =  1.5 \  mm  =  1.5 *10^{-3} \ m

     The  pressure is  P   =  120 \ a.t.m  =  120  * 101.3 *10^{3} = 12156000 Pa

Generally the radius of the of the wire is  

     r =  \frac{d}{2}

=>    r =  \frac{ 1.5 *10^{-3}}{2}  

=>    r =  7.5 *10^{-4} \  m

The Area is evaluated as

     A =  \pi  r^2

=>    A =  3.142 * 7.5 *10^{-4}

=>    A = 1.7673*10^{-6} \  m^2

Generally pressure is mathematically represented as

     P  =  \frac{F}{A }

=>   F =  P* A

=>    F =  12156000  * 1.767*10^{-6}

=>    F =  21.48 \ N

Ocean water conducts electrical current because it contains _____.
icang [17]
<span>Ocean water conducts electrical current because it contains electrolytes. Electrolytes are good conductors of electricity, and are naturally present in appropriate amounts in bodies of water. However, pure water (without electrolytes or metals) is not a conductor of electricity. </span>
