What else can I help you with?
Why is terminal velocity an example of balanced forces?
When terminal velocity is reached, the gravitational force is balanced with the force of resistance.
When an object is falling is it balanced or unbalanced forces.?
Not balanced UNTIL it reaches terminal velocity.
What forces are acting on an object when it is falling at terminal velocity?
When an object is falling at terminal velocity, the forces of gravity pulling it downward and air resistance pushing upward are balanced. This results in a constant velocity for the object as it falls.
What if a falling object reaches this when forces of gravity and air resistance are balanced?
terminal velocity
Are Terminal velocities balanced or unbalanced?
Terminal velocities are balanced forces. At terminal velocity, the upward force of air resistance acting on an object falling through the air is equal in magnitude to the downward force of gravity, resulting in an equilibrium where the object falls at a constant speed.
A falling object is encountering air resistance At the moment the object reaches its terminal speed?
... I think you want to know about forces. At terminal velocity, the force of gravity is balanced by the air resistance, so no further acceleration occurs (balanced forces are the equivalent of an absence of force), which is why we call it *terminal* ("end value") velocity.
Does a skydivers decreases her acceleration when falling 5 seconds before reaching her terminal velocity?
No, a skydiver's acceleration remains constant as they fall towards their terminal velocity. This is because terminal velocity is the point at which the forces of gravity and air resistance are balanced, resulting in a constant velocity.
What is the term for the point at which an object will not accelerate any more?
The term for the point at which an object will not accelerate any more is called terminal velocity. At terminal velocity, the forces of air resistance and gravity are balanced, resulting in a constant velocity.
Why do skydivers reach terminal velocity?
Skydivers reach terminal velocity because as they fall, the force of gravity pulling them downward is balanced by air resistance pushing upward. At terminal velocity, these forces are equal, so the skydiver stops accelerating and falls at a constant speed.
Is this true or false balanced forces acting on an object will change the objects velocity?
False. Balanced forces acting on an object will not change the object's velocity. When forces are balanced, there is no change in the object's velocity as there is no net force acting on the object.
When gravitational forces and air resistance equalize on an object that is falling toward earth and the object stops accelerating its velocity is called?
In that case, the object is said to have achieved terminal speed.
What is velocity at which a falling object travels when the force of air resistance matches exactly the downward force of gravity?
newton's first law states: an object will remain at rest or at a constant velocity unless the forces on it become unbalanced. As the forces on the object are now balanced it falls at a constant velocity. For falling objects this is called the terminal velocity
