Why is terminal velocity an example of balanced forces?

When terminal velocity is reached, the gravitational force is balanced with the force of resistance.


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.


What is terminal miocene event?

Terminal miocene event is the transition from miocene to pliocene. The miocene climate is similar to the modern climate, dry and seasonal.


What is the terminal velocity of body in a freely falling system?

Assuming the object starts at rest, it is zero. However, if the object is thrown upward or downward, its inital velocity will not be zero.


Difference between intelligent terminal and semi-intelligent terminal in computer.?

A simple terminal is able to accept character codes (commonly, ASCII) and produce characters limited to numbers, figures and punctuation. Limited graphics (ASCII art) may be used to enhance the presentation. Dumb terminals do not use complex hardware such as microprocessors to function. An intelligent terminal can, for instance, reposition its cursor to any point in the display and may allow editing of the presentation for re-sending. Intelligent terminals commonly use microprocessors to perform their functions. A thin client, acting as a terminal, loads operating code from a server and then offers advanced functions beyond those of a "dumb" terminal without needing all of the code to be stored in the thin client's memory.
