When you skydive Why don't you hit maximum speed before you hit the ground?
The maximum speed you can reach is also known as terminal velocity and this is the speed at which your mass is resisted by the air. Typically in a belly to earth body position, this is around 120mph. It takes around 10 seconds to reach this speed. The minimum exit height is 2500ft and would not reach this terminal velocity before they need to deploy their parachute. Most skydivers jump from a lot higher - between 10,000ft and 15,000ft. This gives them a freefall time of over 45 seconds and therefore they reach terminal velocity. Once the parachute is open, the decent rate is less than 10mph, so no you do not hit the ground at maximum speed in answer to your question.
How many seconds does it take to get a cheetah at top speed?
It takes at least 3 seconds for them to reach there full speed.
How many years it takes to reach from earth to moon?
Spacecraft can reach the Moon in a few days.Actually the time depends on the speed. You can assume an average speed, and use the formula: distance = speed x time Solving for time: time = distance / speed
How much time it takes to reach a letter by speed post in India?
24 hrs
How many days does a spaceship takes to reach the moon?
It takes approximately 3 days for a spaceship to reach the moon, depending on the trajectory and speed of the spacecraft.
Sun light takes how many second to reach mars?
The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second or 300,000 kilometers per second. It takes sunlight about 13 minutes to reach Mars. It takes about 81/2 minutes to reach Earth.
How long it takes to reach sun from the earth?
That will obviously depend on the speed. Use the formula distance = speed x time (or time = distance / speed). Distance is 150 million kilometers. For a ray of light, it takes about 8 minutes.
How long can you walk from the time it takes the speed of light to travel form the sun to earth?
A few kilometers. It takes light about 8 minutes to reach Earth.
What are the values of the speed of light?
the speed of light is 186,000 miles a second it takes the light from the sun takes 7 minuates and 59 seconds to reach earth if the sun explodes it wont be known until the light reaches the earth.
How long does it take the shuttle to reach orbit?
It takes around eight minutes for a space shuttle to reach orbit after taking off. Its average speed upon take of is 17,500 mph.
How does weight affect the speed of a viehicle?
A heavy vehicle can go just as fast as a light vehicle, it just takes longer and more HP to reach desired speed with a heavier vehicle.
Does terminal speed and terminal velocity are the same?
Yes, but only in free-fall. If I'm driving at 60 mph, I have a constant velocity, but it's not my "terminal velocity" in the sense that there is no limit to my acceleration caused by air friction. But yes, an object in free-fall reaches its terminal velocity when its velocity stops increasing (acceleration=0).
