Does the velocity of a falling object increase or decrease?
Velocity increases
What is the gain velocity per second for a freely falling object?
Impact velocity depends on the mass of the object and the height it falls from. It is the speed at which the acceleration due to gravity is maximized.
What is The greatest velocity a falling object?
the greatest velocity a falling object reaches is terminal velocity
How do you increase the time of descent of a freely falling body?
*by reducing the weight or density of the falling object. *By introducing resistance to the falling object in the form of flat light weighted object. *giving parachute.
What is the greatest velocity a falling object reaches?
the greatest velocity a falling object reaches is terminal velocity
Does an object that is freely falling have mass?
Yes, mass is an intrinsic property of matter. However a freely falling object will experience no weight.
When equals the foce of gravity on a falling object the object reaches terminal velocity?
Yes any other force such as viscous dragging force becomes equal to the weight of the falling object then the body would be moving with uniform velocity. Hence no more increase in the velocity as there is no net acceleration. And so the velocity is said to be terminal (recall terminus) velocity.
What is the hypothesis of how does air resistance affect the velocity of falling objects?
The object opposes the air and while falling of the object the initial velocity will become zero , and the final velocity will have some value's this is how air will resist the velocity of falling object ...........
What is the final velocity of a freely falling object?
The final speed of an object in free fall is known as terminal velocity. Terminal velocity on Earth can range from 54 meters per second (in SI units) to 90 meters per second based on aerodynamics.
Can terminal velocity be changed?
Yes, if the falling object changes its aerodynamic profile, it can reduce or increase drag. Drag causes the terminal velocity to decrease.
What is the greates velocity a falling object can reach called?
The fastest velocity a falling object can reach is called its terminal velocity. This happens when the force of air resistance is equal to the downwards force of weight (gravity), so the object is in equilibrium, and thus reaches a constant velocity.
How can a falling objects momentum be affected to take it past terminal velocity?
The only two ways to increase the speed of an object beyond its terminal velocity is to either reduce its drag, or increase the force causing it to fall. The speed of a falling object can be accelerated beyond terminal velocity, but absent a continuing force, and given enough time, it will eventually slow down to its terminal velocity.
