What is the relation between weight of the body and speed of the air?

terminal velocity is forces balanced
force down = mass * g (newtons)
force up = v^2 * drag coefficient (newtons)
m*g = v^2*dc
dc=(m*g)/v^2

How does speed increase the weight of a moving body?
It doesn't
How do the magnitudes of weight and air drag compare?
They are totally unrelated. Weight is basically the force of attraction between the Earth and the body. It doesn't depend on shape. Air drag depends on how fast a body is moving through air and depends on its shape. There is one interesting example : when a parachute, or even an object falls under gravity for long enough, it may reach a speed where the air drag equals the weight - and then further acceleration ceases and the speed is called the terminal velocity. The terminal velocity therefore depends critically on the shape, and the weight.
What is the gravitational force between the Earth and your body called?
Your weight. Weight is the definition of the force between the earth and other objects. Thus you weight is the gravitational force acting on you from the earth.
What is the gravitational force between the earth and a body called?
It's called the force of gravity.
Negative feed back on homeostasis?
Homeostasis is the way that the body to has a tendency to stabilize itsÕ self. Some people think of homeostasis as a negative thing in relation to oneÕs weight or for medical reasons that their body has naturally acclimated to a state they wish was different.
The measure of the percentage of fat in the relation to total body weight and type?
Body Composition
What is the amount of body fat in relation to total body weight called?
BMI. boidy mass index
Ratio that allows you to assess your body size in relation to your height and weight?
Body Mass Index (BMI)
Index of a person's weight in relation to height is called?
body mass index
Is there any relation between charge and work function?
Yes,there is relation between them because a body cannot work without energy
How does speed increase the weight of a moving body?
It doesn't
Is 143 pounds an average weight?
Weight is related to height and body composition. Please feel free to ask the question again and include more detail. Meanwhile, the two questions further down this page, listed under "Related Questions," will give you more information about body weight in relation to children and teenagers and body weight in relation to adults.
What is gravity and mass?
Mass is the amount of matter a body has. Gravity is a pulling force that pulls the object towards the core of the body. The weight of a body depends on the mass; gravity causes weight. Weight is a downwards force towards the core of the body that produces a gravitational field (e.g. Earth). The relation between the mass, the weight and the gravitational field strength is: W = m.g - where W is the weight of the object, m is the mass of the object and g is the gravitational field strength of the body (it is roughly about 10N/kg on Earth)
What is the ideal weight for your height?
There is no ideal weight in relation to height. Weight is related to height and body composition. What counts more than your body weight is your percentage of body fat. For more information about body fat percentage, see the "healthy adult weight" page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.
Does the acceleration of the body always change the speed of the body?
Not always. If a moving body changes direction without changing speed then we still say it has had an acceleration. Tie a weight to a piece of string and swing it around your head at a steady speed. The weight is accelerating towards you all the time. If the string were to break, the weight goes on in a straight line unaccelerated.
Relation between stress and moment of inertia?
is a resisstance of a body is called inertia
Does a persons weight have any relation to the percent of body fat?
Yes & no. Percent of body fat adds to your weight, but so does muscle. You could weigh 300 pounds and have 100% body fat, or a lot of muscle. See my point?
