Does the velocity of a falling object increase or decrease?
Velocity increases
The mechanical energy of a coconut falling from a tree A. gravitational potential energy B. Chemical potential enregy C. thermal energy D. mechnaical energy?
Objects that can fall have a gravitational potential energy! so the answer is A.
When falling object gains speed the air drag on it?
it increases
What increases As an object falls freely in a vacuum?
the object's falling speed
What happpens to velocity as a drop distance increases relate this to the concept of terminal velocity?
A falling body initially falls at a rate of -9.8m/s2, the acceleration due to gravity. Because of the drag force of the air, which is an upward force that opposes the force of gravity, the body's acceleration will decrease as it continues falling. When the drag force equals the weight of the falling body, there will be no further acceleration, and the body will have reached terminal velocity.
Does the velocity of a falling object increase or decrease?
Velocity increases
Does air resustance increase or decrease the acceleration of a falling abject?
Decrease.
The mechanical energy of a coconut falling from a tree A. gravitational potential energy B. Chemical potential enregy C. thermal energy D. mechnaical energy?
Objects that can fall have a gravitational potential energy! so the answer is A.
Do coconut trees cause injuries?
Falling Coconuts can be dangerous and can cause head injuries. They fall from a great height and they are quite heavy. Anyone underneath, unaware of the falling coconut could be in danger.
Falling water is an example of what energy?
mechanical energy
Coconut day is celebrated on which date?
In the Federated States of Micronesia, coconut day is celebrated on the 2nd of September as a memorial to the nanmarki of U, in Pohnpei who was fatally struck by a falling coconut on this day.
Has a coconut ever killed someone?
It's entirely possible. A large, heavy coconut falling out of a tall tree and landing on someone's head could do it.
Is a large rock falling from a cliff and breaking mechanical?
yes
If a coconut falls from the tree is it OK to eat?
Yes, in fact you are more likely to be killed by a falling coconut than to be killed by a shark.
When falling object gains speed the air drag on it?
it increases
Does air resistance increase or decrease the acceleration of a falling leaf from a tree?
Air resistance decreases acceleration of falling objects
What increases As an object falls freely in a vacuum?
the object's falling speed
