What else can I help you with?
The blank is reached when the force of gravity is balanced by air resistance the size of the air resistance force depends on the shape of an object and it's speed?
yes force down in newtons = (mass * acceleration due to gravity) constant force up in newtons = ( velocity^2 * drag coefficient) increases with velocity until terminal velocity reached, forces balance , no further acceleration. if mass(m) and terminal velocity(tv) are known, drag coefficient(dc) can be calculated. if : (m * g) = (tv^2 * dc) so: dc = (m * g )/( tv^2) drag coefficient is dependent on shape and texture, and is exclusive to each object. air resistance to motion increases as to the square of velocity
What forces have to be balanced for terminal velocity to be reached by an object?
For an object in freefall, terminal velocity is reached when the drag force becomes equal and opposite to the force of gravity. This creates a net force of 0, resulting in no further acceleration.
How will the upward force of air resistance compare to the downwward pull of gravity?
Assuming that you're referring to an object that is accelerating towards a massive body by means of gravitational attraction... When the force of frictional air resistance equals the opposing force of gravity, the net force on the object equals zero, and acceleration will cease. It is called terminal velocity, and the object will remain at this velocity until some new event happens.
What happens to a falling object when the force of gravity equals to the force of air resistance?
the object will floatit shows increasing acceleration
Why does a falling raindrop not fall faster and faster?
It does, up to a limit called "terminal velocity". Terminal velocity is reached when the force of friction against the air equals the force of gravity acting on the raindrop. As the drop falls, it hits molecules in the air, and each of those molecules slows the raindrop down just a little bit. As gravity pulls the drop down, soon it hits so many molecules per unit of time that the combined effect prevents it from gaining any more speed.
Why is terminal velocity an example of balanced forces?
When terminal velocity is reached, the gravitational force is balanced with the force of resistance.
When is air resistance stronger than gravity?
When terminal velocity has been reached.
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.
Sentence for terminal velocity?
Terminal velocity is the constant speed reached by an object falling through the atmosphere when the force of gravity is balanced by air resistance.
In free fall when the air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object we say that the object has reached velocity.?
Yes. When the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity acting on the falling object, the net force on the object becomes zero, causing it to reach terminal velocity. At this point, the object stops accelerating and falls at a constant speed.
What is the maximum velocity reached by a falling object that occurs when the resistance of the medium is equal to force due to gravity?
The maximum velocity reached by a falling object when the resistance of the medium is equal to the force due to gravity is called terminal velocity. At terminal velocity, the object no longer accelerates and reaches a constant speed as the drag force balances out the force of gravity acting on the object.
What is the maximum velocity reached by a falling object that occurs when the resistance of the medium is equal to the force due to gravity?
Its called terminal velocity
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.
The largest velocity reached by a falling object is its what?
The largest velocity reached by a falling object is its terminal velocity. Terminal velocity is the constant maximum velocity reached by an object when the drag force is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the gravitational force acting on the object.
The maximum velocity reached by a falling object that occurs when the resistance of the medium is equal to the force due to gravity?
The maximum velocity reached by a falling object when air resistance is equal to gravitational force is called terminal velocity. At this point, the net force on the object is zero, resulting in constant velocity. The object will not accelerate further due to the balancing forces.
When a falling object stops accelerating it has reached?
In that case, it is said to have achieved terminal velocity.
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.
