When a car pushes a truck, the car's engine provides the necessary force to accelerate both vehicles. As the car gains speed, the force of friction between the tires and the road decreases, allowing the car to reach cruising speed.

What happens when thrust is greater than drag?

When thrust is greater than drag, the aircraft will accelerate and increase its speed. This will lead to a climb in altitude or a change in direction due to the increased force pushing the aircraft forward.


What is the verb for the word accelerate?

Accelerate is already a verb. For example, "to accelerate something" is an action and therefore a verb. Another verb would be speed. "To speed something up".


Is it easier to accelerate an object by pushing or pulling it at an angle or by pushing or pulling it horizontal to the motion?

It is generally easier to accelerate an object by pushing or pulling it in the same direction as its motion (horizontal to the motion) because you are adding force in the same direction as the velocity, increasing the speed. Pushing or pulling at an angle will require some of the force to be used in changing the direction, making it less efficient for acceleration.


What happens if water hits terminal velocity?

If water were to reach terminal velocity, it would fall at a constant speed due to the balance between gravity pulling it down and air resistance pushing it up. This means that the water would no longer accelerate and would continue to fall at that maximum speed until it reaches the ground or another surface.


What is the force that enables the rocket to accelerate upwards?

The force that enables a rocket to accelerate upwards is the thrust generated by the engine as it expels high-speed exhaust gases downward. This action, in accordance with Newton's third law of motion, results in a reaction force pushing the rocket upwards.

No, I think she would have taken about three weeks to reach her destination, at cruising speed.


What is maximum velocity?

maximum velocity is the highest possibly speed an object can travel before the forces acting on it reach an equilibrium and it is no longer able to accelerate. For example a parachutist will fall and accelerate rapidly until the air resistance pushing upwards against her downward force becomes balanced and her speed is steady, its more commonly known as 'terminal velocity' not maximum.
