terminal velocity
What else can I help you with?
A falling object that has reached its terminal speed continues to gain what?
A falling object that has reached its terminal speed no longer accelerates due to air resistance balancing the gravitational force. At terminal speed, the object continues to fall with a constant velocity and no longer gains speed.
How can you measure when an object has reached terminal velocity?
Terminal velocity is reached when the forces of gravity and air resistance acting on an object are equal, causing the object to no longer accelerate. To measure when an object has reached terminal velocity, you can observe that the object falls at a constant speed without speeding up. This can be done by measuring the object's velocity as it falls and noting when it remains constant.
When a falling object stops speeding up and falls at a constant rate of speed that object has reached its?
When a falling object stops speeding up and falls at a constant rate of speed, it has reached its terminal velocity. Terminal velocity occurs when the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity acting on the object, resulting in a balanced and constant downward acceleration.
What is the greatest speed reached by a falling object?
The greatest speed reached by a falling object is known as terminal velocity. This is when the gravitational force pulling the object down is equal to the air resistance acting against it, resulting in a constant speed. Terminal velocity for a human falling through the atmosphere is around 120 mph (200 km/h).
When air resistance balances the weight of an object that is falling the object has reached?
When air resistance balances the weight of an object that is falling, the object has reached terminal velocity. At this point, the object falls at a constant speed without accelerating further due to the opposing forces being balanced.
What is the fastest speed reached by an object falling through the air called?
This is called "terminal velocity". When the drag (friction) caused by the air is equal to the force of gravitational acceleration, the object stops increasing in speed. This is directly related to the area of the object, which determines the air resistance.
What point is the speed greatest?
The speed of an object is greatest at the point in its motion when it is moving the fastest. This usually occurs at the bottom of a free-fall motion or at the point in the trajectory where the object has reached its maximum velocity.
What does 'top speed' mean?
'Top speed' refers to the maximum speed that a vehicle or object can achieve under optimal conditions. It represents the highest rate of travel that can be reached by a particular vehicle or object.
When a falling object has reached terminal velocity it continues to gain what?
When a falling object has reached terminal velocity, it no longer accelerates due to air resistance matching the force of gravity. At this point, the object continues to fall at a constant speed without gaining any additional velocity.
When a falling object stops accelerating it has reached?
In that case, it is said to have achieved terminal velocity.
When you drag force on an object falling through the air equals the force of gravity the object has reached what?
When the drag force on an object falling through the air equals the force of gravity, the object has reached terminal velocity. At this point, the object stops accelerating and falls at a constant speed due to the balance between these two forces.
When you drag force on an object falling through the air equals the force of gravity the object has reached?
