Will an object dropped on the moon reach a terminal velocity?
That varies, depending on the object. A massive object may take a long time to reach terminal velocity; a less massive object will reach terminal velocity faster. It basically depends on the object's mass, size, and shape.
What happens when water hits light?
the lightning vaporizes the water it hits and also charges the water with electricity (don't go swimming)
What happens to an object in free fall near Earth's surface?
If air resistance can be neglected, the object will fall faster and faster. If air resistance is significant, the object will fall faster and faster, until it asymtotically approaches a "terminal velocity" - the velocity at which the downward pull of gravity is in equilibrium with the air resistance.
When a body hits an obstacle the force with which it hits the obstacle depends upon?
When a body hits an obstacle the force with which it hits the obstacle depends upon---the velocity at the installation of collision bt not on initial velocity.
What happens to the horizontal velocity of a ball after it rolls off a table?
The horizontal velocity will be equal to the translational velocity of the ball right before it falls off the table. ============================== When we do exercises that deal with the behavior of the ball after it leaves the edge of the table, we always ignore air resistance. When we do that, the horizontal component of velocity remains constant forever, or at least until the ball hits something.
When air resistance matches the pull of gravity an object hits?
Terminal Velocity
When air resistance balances weight the velocity becomes?
Terminal. It stays at that one velocity til the object hits the ground.
Why is it that a cat falls from a 50 storie building will hit a safety net below no faster than it fell from a 20th story?
It reaches terminal velocity. The speed is limited by the air resistance of the object. In most cases, terminal velocity is reached in a few seconds.
How do you calculate the point that a dropped coffee filter hits its terminal velocity?
Terminal velocity on earth is static for all objects. A coffee filter being so light would have an effect on how much the friction slows it down, it would not however change its "terminal velocity" in a vacuum it would fall at the same rate as you or I. Approximately 120 MPH.
What happens as an object falls from earth?
the velocity of the object increases until it hits the ground
When is terminal velocity good?
Based on two classes' worth of research on terminal velocity I'd say it's good for keeping some falling objects from reaching a speed that will, literally, be "terminal" (fatal) to whomever it hits. I was researching the myth behind whether or not a penny dropped off a tall building will kill some unlucky pedestrian below. All of my sources say it's impossible for said penny to do more than sting the person (barring them being hit in the eye or them somehow swallowing it), and the reason for this is terminal velocity.

What happens when water hits a sandcastle?
The sandcastle is swept away.
What happens when water hits polyester?
it explodes with you in it take that society
What happens to rain when it hits a raincoat?
It becomes regular water.
