By decreasing your friction. Making the falling body more streamlined such that the "bow wave" is decreased, and the partial vacuum behind the falling body (drag) is efficiently filled, as well as reducing the interaction between the surface interface between the falling body and the air moving past it. Each of these will increase the terminal velocity. However, one eventually reaches a maximum which cannot be exceeded.
What else can I help you with?
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 equation thast describes how air resistance affects terminal velocity?
down and up forces balance at terminal velocitymass * g = v^2 * drag coefficientif mass and terminal velocity are known , drag coefficient can be foundsay mass = 100 kg, g = 9.8 (m/s)/s, terminal velocity = 70 m/sso at terminal velocity:100*9.8=4900* drag coefficientthen:100*9.8/4900 = 0.2 (drag coefficient)if you reduce the drag coefficient, the terminal velocity will increase, until the forces balance
What is velocity at which a falling object travels when the force of air resistance matches exactly the downward force of gravity?
newton's first law states: an object will remain at rest or at a constant velocity unless the forces on it become unbalanced. As the forces on the object are now balanced it falls at a constant velocity. For falling objects this is called the terminal velocity
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.
Can terminal velocity be changed?
Terminal velocity is determined by several factors including an object's shape, size, and weight, as well as external forces like air resistance. Terminal velocity can be altered by changing these factors, such as by increasing or decreasing an object's weight or by adjusting its shape to reduce air resistance.
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.
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.
How would you use the word terminal velocity in a sentence?
We will reach terminal velocity just before we hit the ground, then the result of our velocity will be terminal.
What is the speed an on object reaches when the force of gravity is balanced by air resistance called?
terminal velocity
What would have a higher terminal velocity a marble or a napkin?
The marble has lower drag so its terminal velocity would be greater. Each has its own terminal velocity.
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.
Is terminal velocity a type of friction?
No. Terminal velocity is a particular kind of velocity and friction is a particular kind of force. The terminal velocity of a falling object is the maximum velocity it can have because air resistance prevents it from going any faster. And air resistance is a type of friction. So terminal velocity is due to a type of friction.
When did Terminal Velocity - video game - happen?
Terminal Velocity - video game - happened in 1995.
When was Terminal Velocity - film - created?
Terminal Velocity - film - was created on 1994-09-23.
