What is the constant speed of an object reached when the force of gravity is balanced by air resistance?
Terminal Velocity
What is The point at which air resistance and gravity are balanced so that a falling object no longer accelerates?
a falling object accelerates 32ft per second per second
What does the speed of a falling object depend on?
From my experience it would depend upon the initial velocity along with the mass of the object and how gravity will cause it to accelerate. Distance also plays a part in that the longer the object has to fall the faster it will fall. That is until it reaches terminal velocity or when the force of gravity equals the resistance force like air resistance.
How does gravity effect a falling object?
If there is no air resistance, gravity will accelerate the falling object, that is, it will change its velocity.
What part air resistance plays in gravity?
i think air resistance slows down the object that gravity is pulling towards it
What if a falling object reaches this when forces of gravity and air resistance are balanced?
terminal velocity
What is the speed an on object reaches when the force of gravity is balanced by air resistance called?
terminal velocity
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.
What is the constant speed of an object reached when the force of gravity is balanced by air resistance?
Terminal Velocity
Is it true when air friction and gravity balanced each other the object reaches terminal velocity?
Yes
The point at which air resistance and gravity are balanced so that a falling object no longer accelerates?
"Terminal" velocity.
What is The point at which air resistance and gravity are balanced so that a falling object no longer accelerates?
a falling object accelerates 32ft per second per second
What forces have to be balanced for terminal velocity to be reached by an object?
For an object in freefall, terminal velocity is reached when the drag force becomes equal and opposite to the force of gravity. This creates a net force of 0, resulting in no further acceleration.
Greatest velocity a falling object reaches?
On any planet with an atmosphere, gravity is counteracted by the force of air friction with the object that is falling. This is known as terminal velocity - the point at which the forces of air resistance and gravity balance.
When equals the force of gravity on a falling object the object reaches terminal velocity.?
When THE FRICTION BETWEEN THE OBJECT AND THE ATMOSPHEREequals the force of gravity on a falling object the object reaches terminal velocity.
When an object falls through the air and encounters air resistance its overall speed will be?
Terminal Velocity. This is the velocity at which the accelaration from Earth's gravity and the drag from air resistance reaches equillibrium.
When an object is falling is it balanced or unbalanced forces.?
Not balanced UNTIL it reaches terminal velocity.
