What else can I help you with?
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 terminal velocity of a car?
Assuming atmospheric conditions density of air being 0.0765 pounds/cu. ft. and assuming the car weighs 4000 lbs with dimensions of 6'x15'x5', with a drag coefficient of approximately 0.2...The terminal velocity of a car under these conditions would be about 52 mph. This is assuming it's falling flat. If the car was falling pointing down, the terminal velocity would be something more like 90mph. Obviously this answer will vary by changing the assumptions.
What speed is terminal velocity for a kangaroo penis?
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.
When an object is falling at terminal velocity what is the net force acting on the object?
Zero. "Terminal velocity" means that the object is no longer accelerating; the downward force of gravity and the upward force of resistance are in balance.
What is the maximum terminal velocity of an asteroid?
The terminal velocity of an asteroid depends on its size, shape, and mass. Larger, denser asteroids will have higher terminal velocities than smaller, less dense ones. Terminal velocities for asteroids in space are typically around a few hundred meters per second.
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 terminal velocity for a mouse?
The terminal velocity for a mouse is estimated to be around 10 mph (16 kph). This means that when a mouse falls from a height, it will reach a maximum speed of about 10 mph before air resistance balances the force of gravity.
How could Kittenger in the Project Excelsior article achieve speeds of 600 MPH when an 85000 foot drop in 276 seconds implies an average of 210 MPH and a terminal velocity of 420 MPH?
at that altitude (stratosphere?) the air density is much less, therefore terminal velocity is much greater
What is the terminal velocity of a human?
Roughly 120 mph flat and stable. Head-down is much faster, but is not stable (it takes active control). Terminal velocity is when the gravity force upon an object is equal to that of the wind resistance.
What is the average airspeed for a Boeing 737?
500 mph
What is the airspeed coming out of the elephants trunk?
67 mph..
What could describe an airplane's velocity?
The main two useful velocity measurements are... 1. KTAS- Knots (True Airspeed) 2. KIAS- Knots (Indicated Airspeed)
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 terminal velocity for a 185 lb man at a given height?
Somewhere around 120 mph. If he skydives from an airplane he will accelerate with gravity for the first 400-500 feet or so for about 5 seconds and then raech the termonal velocity of about 120 mph or so
What is the airspeed velocity of a Coconut Latin Swallow?
African or European?
Why cant a raindrop kill?
The Terminal Velocity of the raindrop slows it down that in the end it only goes about 5-20 mph.
How do you calculate the point that a dropped coffee filter hits its terminal velocity?
Terminal velocity on earth is static for all objects. A coffee filter being so light would have an effect on how much the friction slows it down, it would not however change its "terminal velocity" in a vacuum it would fall at the same rate as you or I. Approximately 120 MPH.
