What else can I help you with?
How fast can a man fall to earth from airplane?
The fastest rate a human can fall is called terminal velocity. Terminal velocity is when the gravity force upon an object is equal to that of the wind resistance. The normal terminal velocity of a human is around 125 miles per hour.
What is the terminal velocity of a person jumping out of a perfectly good airplane?
I am pretty sure its around 117 to 125
When gravitational forces and air resistance equalize on an object that is falling toward earth and the object stops accelerating its velocity is called?
In that case, the object is said to have achieved terminal speed.
What is the speed an on object reaches when the force of gravity is balanced by air resistance called?
terminal velocity
How would you use the word terminal velocity in a sentence?
We will reach terminal velocity just before we hit the ground, then the result of our velocity will be terminal.
What would have a higher terminal velocity a marble or a napkin?
The marble has lower drag so its terminal velocity would be greater. Each has its own terminal velocity.
What is the speed of an object that has reached terminal velocity?
The speed at terminal velocity depends on the mass and shape of the object. For example, a sheet of paper will have a very low terminal velocity; the terminal velocity for a man will be much higher.
Is terminal velocity a type of friction?
No. Terminal velocity is a particular kind of velocity and friction is a particular kind of force. The terminal velocity of a falling object is the maximum velocity it can have because air resistance prevents it from going any faster. And air resistance is a type of friction. So terminal velocity is due to a type of friction.
When did Terminal Velocity - video game - happen?
Terminal Velocity - video game - happened in 1995.
When was Terminal Velocity - film - created?
Terminal Velocity - film - was created on 1994-09-23.
What is velocity at which a falling object travels when the force of air resistance matches exactly the downward force of gravity?
newton's first law states: an object will remain at rest or at a constant velocity unless the forces on it become unbalanced. As the forces on the object are now balanced it falls at a constant velocity. For falling objects this is called the terminal velocity
A skydiver steps from a helicopter and falls for 5 seconds before reaching her terminal velocity During this 5 second interval her acceleration will?
increase- your speed will increase until terminal velocity is reached. From there it will stay constant.
