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 else can I help you with?
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 is the direction and magnitude of the net force acting on a rain drop falling down with constant speed?
If the raindrop is falling at a constant speed, then it has reached terminal velocity. This happens when the downward force (due to gravity) is the same as the upward force due to friction. As such the net force acting on the rain drop is 0.
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
How much upwards air resistance force is present on a bag that weighs 50 N when it has reached a terminal velocity?
"Terminal velocity" means that it no longer accelerates; forces are in balance. This is only possible if the upward force is also 50 N. (The "50 N weight" represents the downward force of gravity.)
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.
What is the constant speed of an object reached when the force of gravity is balanced by air resistance?
The constant speed an object reaches when the force of gravity is balanced by air resistance is called the terminal velocity. At this point, the forces are equal and opposite, resulting in a net force of zero and allowing the object to fall at a constant speed without accelerating further.
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.
Why do you fall at a steady speed before parachuting?
Before parachuting, you fall at a steady speed due to the force of gravity pulling you towards the ground. This speed is reached when the force of gravity is balanced by the air resistance acting on your body, creating a state of dynamic equilibrium known as terminal velocity.
When a falling object had stopped accelerating it has reached its?
When a falling object has stopped accelerating, it has reached its terminal velocity. At this point, the force of air resistance acting on the object is equal to the force of gravity pulling it downward, resulting in a balanced force and a constant 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.
When air resistance equals pull of gravity?
When air resistance equals the pull of gravity, terminal velocity is reached. This is experienced by all falling objects if given enough time, and this is classically explained in Physics using skydivers.
The speed when falling objects no longer accelerates due to air resistance is?
known as terminal velocity, which is reached when the force of gravity pulling the object downwards is balanced by the upward force of air resistance. At terminal velocity, the object falls at a constant speed with no further acceleration.
What causes acceleration to stop at terminal velocity?
Terminal velocity is reached when the force of gravity pulling an object downward is balanced by the force of air resistance pushing back on the object. At this point, the net force on the object is zero, resulting in no further acceleration. This equilibrium leads to a constant velocity where the forces are balanced.
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.
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
