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
Why are the forces balanced on an object falling at terminal velocity?
In a vaccum, different objects have no terminal velocity... the further they fall, the faster they go. So, "air drag" is what provides differing terminal velocities, and the object's shape and weight distribution controls that drag.
When the forces of an object are blank there is no change in object's velocity?
balanced
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.)
What type of change can the balanced forces bring about in an object?
Balanced forces do not bring about any change in motion. If forces are balanced, an object is either at rest, or moving in a straight line at constant velocity.
Why is terminal velocity an example of balanced forces?
When terminal velocity is reached, the gravitational force is balanced with the force of resistance.
How does terminal velocity involve balanced forces?
Terminal velocity is an example of balanced forced because the gravitational forces and the air resistance balance each other.
When an object is falling is it balanced or unbalanced forces.?
Not balanced UNTIL it reaches terminal velocity.
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 forces are acting on an object when it is falling at terminal velocity?
When an object is falling at terminal velocity, the forces of gravity pulling it downward and air resistance pushing upward are balanced. This results in a constant velocity for the object as it falls.
What if a falling object reaches this when forces of gravity and air resistance are balanced?
terminal velocity
Are Terminal velocities balanced or unbalanced?
Terminal velocities are balanced forces. At terminal velocity, the upward force of air resistance acting on an object falling through the air is equal in magnitude to the downward force of gravity, resulting in an equilibrium where the object falls at a constant speed.
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.
A falling object is encountering air resistance At the moment the object reaches its terminal speed?
... I think you want to know about forces. At terminal velocity, the force of gravity is balanced by the air resistance, so no further acceleration occurs (balanced forces are the equivalent of an absence of force), which is why we call it *terminal* ("end value") velocity.
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.
Does a skydivers decreases her acceleration when falling 5 seconds before reaching her terminal velocity?
No, a skydiver's acceleration remains constant as they fall towards their terminal velocity. This is because terminal velocity is the point at which the forces of gravity and air resistance are balanced, resulting in a constant velocity.
What is the term for the point at which an object will not accelerate any more?
The term for the point at which an object will not accelerate any more is called terminal velocity. At terminal velocity, the forces of air resistance and gravity are balanced, resulting in a constant velocity.
