When A parachutist reaches it terminal speed?
The parachutist will no longer accelerate. They will just glide with constant velocity and enjoy the scenery.
Would a parachutist be considered a free falling object and why?
The falling of a parachutist without his parachute deployed will be quite fast. We can slow his decsent by putting a drag on the free fall with a parachute. The fall is no longer free of drag (friction).
What are some examples of gravational energy?
A free fall parachutist falling to earth, the effect of the moon and sun on ocean tides, a drop hammer in a workshop
The speed when falling objects no longer accelerates due to air resistance is?
The speed when falling objects no longer accelerates due to air resistance is the maximum falling velocity.
Two different masses are they falling at the same speed?
they arent falling at the same speed because gravity is stronger with a heavier object
When a parachutist is moving with a constant speed what happens?
There are two possibilities. One is that he is falling at a constant (positive) speed. In this case, the downward force of gravity is exactly offset by the upward force of drag or air resistance. The parachutist is said to have reached terminal velocity. The second possibility is that he is moving downwards at a constant speed of zero. He has hit the ground! The parachutist may be said to have reached a terminal situation!
Which force stops a parachutist falling to earth uncontrollably?
Upthrust
Does a parachutist move upward?
No. When you see a video of a parachutist "moving up" it is because the person with the camera is falling faster than the person they are filming.

Which direction does the parachutist go if gravity is greater than air resistance?
The parachutist will go down, of course. If gravity is greater than air resistance, then the parachutist would accelerate (his speed would increase). This would increase air resistance, up to the point where gravity and air resistance are in balance.
What is correct to say parachuter or parachutist?
parachutist

A free fall parachutist falling to earth, the effect of the moon and sun on ocean tides, a drop hammer in a workshop
What does the parachute man symbolized?
In LOTF the dead parachutist symbolized multiple things. Though all are in similar connection. The parachutist is a symbol of fear and tragic death. A symbol of the lack of adults or overall supervision while on the island, and also he symbolizes the lack of order. If you have read the book you will realize that from the time the littluns find the parachutist (aka "Beastie") order and democracy starts falling apart.
Does the speed of the stone change during the falling into a river?
Does the speed of the stone change during the falling into a river?
Does a parachutist considered as a free falling object?
Yes, then not really, then definitely not: * Yes ... immediately after jumping. * Not really ... once terminal velocity is reached. * Definitely not ... after the parachute opens.
Why wouldn't Stoke's Law be useful for predicting the velocity of falling bodies such as a parachutist through the atmosphere?
read the plannnin exercise. Stokes law only applies to the case....
