What is the net force acting on a falling object when it reaches terminal velocity?
An object falling at terminal velocity is moving at constant speed (that's what terminal velocity means) and we will assume it is not changing direction (i.e. it is falling straight down; in reality it is more likely to be bobbing and weaving on the wind.) Constant speed and direction is another way of saying constant velocity. when an object is acted upon by a net force, it's velocity changes. So, since we know that the velocity is not changing, there is no force.
What would you call it when air resistance the force of gravity and a falling object stops accelerating?
When a falling object stops accelerating but is falling at a constant velocity, it is called terminal velocity.
How would the terminal velocity of an object falling towards earth differ than the terminal velocity of the same object falling through water?
because water has higher viscosity than air so resisting the movement of the body in it more than air so decreasing the velocity
When an object is falling at terminal velocity what is the net force acting on the object?
Zero. "Terminal velocity" means that the object is no longer accelerating; the downward force of gravity and the upward force of resistance are in balance.
What speed is terminal velocity for a kangaroo penis?
Terminal velocity for a kangaroo penis is not a meaningful concept, as terminal velocity refers to the constant speed that a freely falling object eventually reaches when the resistance of the medium it is moving through equals the force of gravity. Kangaroo penises do not fall freely in this manner.
Are the direction of the velocity and acceleration of a falling body the same?
For the most part, yes; once at terminal velocity, there is no acceleration, so it has direction.
When the upward and downward forces on a falling object or changes its direction is called an?
Terminal Velocity.
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 net force on a falling object when it reaches terminal velocity?
An object falling at terminal velocity is moving at constant speed (that's what terminal velocity means) and we will assume it is not changing direction (i.e. it is falling straight down; in reality it is more likely to be bobbing and weaving on the wind.) Constant speed and direction is another way of saying constant velocity. when an object is acted upon by a net force, it's velocity changes. So, since we know that the velocity is not changing, there is no force.
What is The greatest velocity a falling object?
the greatest velocity a falling object reaches is terminal velocity
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.
What is the greatest velocity a falling object reaches?
the greatest velocity a falling object reaches is terminal velocity
The largest velocity reached by falling object is its?
Terminal velocity.
What is the most velocity of a falling object can get called?
terminal velocity
Does terminal speed and terminal velocity are the same?
Yes, but only in free-fall. If I'm driving at 60 mph, I have a constant velocity, but it's not my "terminal velocity" in the sense that there is no limit to my acceleration caused by air friction. But yes, an object in free-fall reaches its terminal velocity when its velocity stops increasing (acceleration=0).
What is the acceleration of a falling object that has reached it's terminal velocity?
At terminal velocity, the acceleration of a falling object is zero. Terminal velocity is the constant speed that a freely falling object eventually reaches when the resistance of the medium (such as air) through which it is falling equals the force of gravity.
Is the greatest velocity a falling object reaches is it called momentum?
The greatest velocity a falling object reaches is called the terminal velocity.For an object falling at the terminal velocity, the weight force of the objectis balanced by the drag force and buoyant force on the object.W + FDRAG + FBUOYANT = FNET = 0.0
