terminal velocity is forces balanced

force down = mass * g (newtons)

force up = v^2 * drag coefficient (newtons)

m*g = v^2*dc

dc=(m*g)/v^2

How does speed increase the weight of a moving body?

Speed does not increase the weight of a moving body. Weight is determined by the mass of the object and the force of gravity acting on it, and it remains constant regardless of speed. Speed only affects the kinetic energy of the body, which is proportional to the square of the speed.


What is the gravitational force between the Earth and your body called?

Your weight. Weight is the definition of the force between the earth and other objects. Thus you weight is the gravitational force acting on you from the earth.


What is the gravitational force between the earth and a body called?

The gravitational force between the Earth and a body is called weight. Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity and is directly proportional to the mass of the object.


What percent are your quads in relation to your body?

The percentage of your quads in relation to your body can vary based on individual body composition and muscle development. Generally, the quadriceps make up about 10-15% of total body weight in a well-developed individual. However, this can differ significantly depending on factors like fitness level, body type, and overall muscle mass. To get a precise measurement, body composition analysis or specific measurements would be needed.


How many km does it take to burn 1 pound?

It generally takes about 3,500 calories to burn one pound of body weight. When converted to kilometers, this would be roughly equivalent to walking or running between 40-50 kilometers depending on factors like speed and intensity.

What is the relation do you find between the weight of the floating body and the weight of water that is displaced?

The weight of the floating body is equal to the weight of the water that is displaced. This relationship is known as Archimedes' principle. The buoyant force acting on the floating body is equal to the weight of the water it displaces, allowing the body to float.

Is there any relation between charge and work function?

Yes,there is relation between them because a body cannot work without energy


Is 143 pounds an average weight?

Weight is related to height and body composition. Please feel free to ask the question again and include more detail. Meanwhile, the two questions further down this page, listed under "Related Questions," will give you more information about body weight in relation to children and teenagers and body weight in relation to adults.


Weight of a freely falling body?

If the 'weight' of a body is the gravitational force between the body and the Earth, then as long as the body stays at about the same distance from the center of the Earth, its weight is constant, and has no connection with its motion.


What is gravity and mass?

Mass is the amount of matter a body has. Gravity is a pulling force that pulls the object towards the core of the body. The weight of a body depends on the mass; gravity causes weight. Weight is a downwards force towards the core of the body that produces a gravitational field (e.g. Earth). The relation between the mass, the weight and the gravitational field strength is: W = m.g - where W is the weight of the object, m is the mass of the object and g is the gravitational field strength of the body (it is roughly about 10N/kg on Earth)


What is the ideal weight for your height?

There is no ideal weight in relation to height. Weight is related to height and body composition. What counts more than your body weight is your percentage of body fat. For more information about body fat percentage, see the "healthy adult weight" page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.


Does the acceleration of the body always change the speed of the body?

Not always. If a moving body changes direction without changing speed then we still say it has had an acceleration. Tie a weight to a piece of string and swing it around your head at a steady speed. The weight is accelerating towards you all the time. If the string were to break, the weight goes on in a straight line unaccelerated.
