What else can I help you with?
Does the velocity of a falling object increase or decrease?
The velocity of a falling object increases as it falls due to the acceleration of gravity acting on it. As the object falls, it gains speed and accelerates toward the ground until it reaches a constant velocity known as terminal velocity.
What is termanal velocity?
Perhaps you mean terminal velocity. This is the maximum velocity reached by an object falling to the ground when the acceleration due to gravity is matched by the drag resistance of the air through which it is falling.
What is change in the velocity of a falling object?
Any change in the velocity of anything is known as 'acceleration'. In the case of a falling object near the Earth's surface, the direction of the velocity is constant, and its magnitude increases by 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second, every second.
Why do the velocity of free falling bodies not change?
The velocity of free falling bodies does change due to gravity accelerating them towards the ground. However, in the absence of air resistance, the acceleration due to gravity causes the velocity to increase at a constant rate, resulting in a uniform change in speed over time. This creates the perception that the velocity is not changing, but in reality, it is increasing continuously.
What is an apple falling to the ground?
A apple falling to the ground IS an apple falling to the ground.
What effect does bouncing have on impulse?
Each bounce has its own impulse. As the ball bounces, and passes through air, there is air friction and some energy is lost as heat and sound to the air, and transferred to the ground also. As this happens, the speed of the ball is lowered, meaning that according to p=mv, there will be less impulse for each consecutive bounce. When the ball bounces, the positive velocity (towards the ground) would be negated from the negative velocity to give delta v, the combined velocity. From there, you would multiply that by the mass of the object, divide that total by time. I think P=F=mv/t (all delta variables) where p is the impulse, F is the force, m is the mass, v is the velocity (the combined total of v1-v2, or what ever gives the highest number) and t is the time required for the ball to stop. Hope that answers your question.
What is the force on the ground of a 12kg acorn falling from a tree?
The impact force depends upon the height from which it has fallen (IE- its velocity upon impact), and the duration of impact (determined by the elasticity of the collision). However, the object exerts no force upon the ground *while* falling.
What is the final velocity of a stone with an original velocity of 0 falling from a ledge that takes 8 seconds to hit the ground?
On Earth gravity equals 9.8 m/s^2. If you multiply that by 8 seconds you get: 78.4m/s
When was Raising the Flag at Ground Zero created?
Raising the Flag at Ground Zero was created in 2001.
Does potentail energy have an influence on the final velocity of a falling object?
yes it does. u can calculate the final velocity of the falling object with the following eqn: initial potential energy= final kinetic energy or mgh = 1/2mv2 where m=mass, h = height,v=final velocity
What changes in a freely falling body?
In a freely falling body, its velocity increases due to the acceleration caused by gravity. The acceleration is constant (9.8 m/s^2 on Earth), and the body's motion is only affected by gravity, not air resistance. The body's position changes continuously as it falls towards the ground.
Can you survive terminal velocity?
Yes, you can survive terminal velocity if you have the proper equipment, such as a parachute, to slow down your fall before reaching the ground. Terminal velocity is the maximum speed an object reaches when falling through the air, and with the right precautions, it is possible to survive a fall from this height.
