How many feet does it take to reach terminal velosity?

Terminal velocity is the constant speed an object reaches in free fall when the force of gravity is balanced by air resistance. The distance it takes to reach terminal velocity depends on the object's weight, shape, and air density. Generally, it can take a few thousand feet for a skydiver to reach 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.


Why does a battery spark when connecting the negative terminal?

When connecting the negative terminal of a battery, a spark may occur due to the sudden flow of electrons from the negative terminal to the positive terminal, creating a brief electrical discharge.


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.


How do you induce polarity in galvanometer?

To induce polarity in a galvanometer, you can connect the positive terminal of a power source to one terminal and the negative terminal to the other terminal. This creates a potential difference across the terminals of the galvanometer, inducing polarity in the device.
