What else can I help you with?
Why can a helicopter reach a terminal speed whilst falling during autorotation?
GAYS
Why can't you jump in a falling elevator?
Jumping in a falling elevator won't help because you and the elevator are both falling at the same speed due to gravity, so jumping won't change anything. It's safer to lie flat on the floor and protect your head and neck during a fall.
What is the speed limit of falling objects called?
The speed limit of falling objects is called terminal velocity. This is the constant speed that a freely falling object eventually reaches when the resistance of the medium it is falling through (like air) equals the force of gravity acting on it.
What does it mean when a change in velocity is negative?
Something is decelerating . I.e it's still going forward, but at a reduced and falling speed.
What is the speed of the Yangtze river?
The speed of the river is 43 mph.
What happens if an elevator falls and you jump inside?
If an elevator is falling and you jump inside, you will still be moving at the same speed as the elevator. Jumping will not change the outcome of the fall. It is safer to brace yourself and try to protect your head and body during the fall.
Why are astronants weightless in space?
The astronaut, space ship and everything in it are all falling at the same speed (falling around the Earth is called ORBIT). If everything is falling at the same speed, they are effectively weightless. Its like falling in an elevator, if everything is falling at the same speed you will appear to be floating around the elevator. Until it reaches the basement.
What is an incerase of speed during a given interval of time?
Acceleration is the rate of change of speed with respect to time during a given interval.
What is the term for the speed of a river?
The technical term for the speed of a river is velocity.
Does distance change the speed of a falling object?
No, distance does not affect the speed of a falling object. In a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their distance from the ground, known as the gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s^2.
What is the average speed of a falling snowflake?
The average speed of a falling snowflake is around 1 to 6 kilometers per hour, depending on various factors such as the size and shape of the snowflake, temperature, and air currents. Snowflakes can fall faster during heavy snowfall or when influenced by strong winds.
How does the speed of a river determine what type of material the river carries?
The speed of a river determines on the age of the river. The younger the river the faster and stronger the river is, the older the river the slower and weaker the river is.
