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.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Is there a maximum speed an object can achieve if dropped from a great height and if so what is it?
Yes, that is known as the terminal velocity. At that speed, the air resistance (pulling up) would be in equilibrium with the gravitation (pulling down), so there is no further acceleration. The terminal velocity depends on the object's size and shape. In general, heavier objects will fall faster.Yes, that is known as the terminal velocity.

What is the airspeed in MPH of terminal velocity?
The terminal velocity of a human in free fall is around 120 mph (190 km/h). At this speed, the force of air resistance pushing upward is equal to the force of gravity pulling downward, resulting in a stable descent.
What is the terminal velocity of a water droplet 312 miles wide?
Terminal velocity of an object depends on its size, shape, and weight. For a water droplet that is 312 miles wide, the terminal velocity would be extremely slow, approaching zero, as its size would create significant air resistance and prevent it from falling at any noticeable speed.
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
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 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 difference between terminal speed and terminal velocity?
The difference between terminal speed and terminal velocity is really simple. Terminal speed can be used to refer to the maximum speed an object can reach before factors like friction prevent anymore speed to be gained. Terminal velocity, however, generally refers to the rate at which this speed was gained.
What is the speed an on object reaches when the force of gravity is balanced by air resistance called?
terminal velocity
The speed an object reaches when the force of gravity is balanced by the force of air resistance?
Terminal velocity is the speed an object reaches when the force of gravity is balanced by the force of air resistance. At terminal velocity, the object no longer accelerates and falls at a constant speed. This speed varies depending on the mass, size, and shape of the object.
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 speed of terminal velocity?
The speed of terminal velocity for a falling object depends on its size, shape, and weight. In general, terminal velocity for a human falling in the spread-eagle position is around 120 mph (195 km/h).
What is it called When an objects speed is not changing?
Terminal velocity if it has reached its top speed. Or obviously constant speed.
A Kangaroo hops 60 m to the east in 5 seconds What is the kangaroo's velocity?
It's 60 divided by 5, Which is 12m/s east. Velocity is a vector for speed, since velocity has a direction and speed does not. Velocity has the SI units of meters per second. So you take the meters and divide by how many seconds to get your velocity.
Is terminal velocity depends on mass of object?
No, terminal velocity does not depend on the mass of the object. Terminal velocity is the maximum speed an object can reach when the force of gravity is balanced by the force of drag. This means that all objects, regardless of their mass, will eventually reach the same terminal velocity in a given medium.
A skydiver steps from a helicopter and falls for 5 seconds before reaching her terminal velocity During this 5 second interval her acceleration will?
increase- your speed will increase until terminal velocity is reached. From there it will stay constant.
How can a falling objects momentum be affected to take it past terminal velocity?
The only two ways to increase the speed of an object beyond its terminal velocity is to either reduce its drag, or increase the force causing it to fall. The speed of a falling object can be accelerated beyond terminal velocity, but absent a continuing force, and given enough time, it will eventually slow down to its terminal velocity.
