Why a helicopter during autorotation could reach terminal speed with out the pilot changing the controls?

Three forces work here. There is gravity, air resistance and the lift force made by the blades autorotation. When the air resistance and gravity forces are equal in strength, this means that the helicopter has reached its terminal velocity. It cannot fall any faster than it is. As the helicopter is using auto-rotation, the pilot does not need to change any controls because the forces will balance out themselves. The helicopter, with the aid of the still spinning blades of the helicopter, will be able to make a safe landing.


A skydiver steps from a helicopter and falls for 5 seconds before reaching her terminal velocity during this 5 second interval her acceleration?

the crate will reach terminal velocity last, but hit the ground frist.

increase- your speed will increase until terminal velocity is reached. From there it will stay constant.


What is the definition of terminal energy?

In hunting, terminal energy is the force of impact by a projectile (bullet) with its target. In biology, a terminal electron acceptor is a compound that receives or accepts an electron during cellular respiration or photosynthesis.


Does a person falling from great heights die when they hit the ground or before impact?

When you hit the ground. While they are falling they are in the air, and falling in and of itself will not kill you. The impact will always kill you -- unless you have a heart attack during the fall.

Why a helicopter falling during auto-rotation could reach a terminal speed without the pilot changing any controls?

The helicopter begins to fall because gravity is pulling its weight. As the helicopter accelerates, the air passing past the helicopter creates drag, as the helicopter continues to accelerate the drag Increases until the drag becomes equal to the weight, stopping it from accelerating. Even if the helicopter did not auto rotate it would still reach a terminal speed, however the terminal speed for the non auto rotating helicopter would be a lot higher and the helicopter would take longer to reach this speed.
