How can you reduce your terminal velocity?
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 is the differencce a bow and bow?
There are three main definitions for the spelling "BOW".BO pronunciation1. A bow (pronounced bo) is is what girls or pets wear in their hair or like when you tie your shoe in a bow, not a knot.2.

Is bow a noun?
The word bow can be both a verb or a noun, depending on how it is used and worded in the context of a sentence. Keeping this in mind, it is a noun if you are referring to the kind that involves expressing a physical gesture out of respect and/or politeness.

Please note that if you were to say, he bowed, then it would be a verb. It's also a noun when used to refer to either a bow and arrow, as well as tying a ribbon into a bow/ a bow tie. Both of these are pronounced just like the ow in the words, blow or crow. Example sentence: "The girl with a bow in her hair took a bow from the bow of a boat, before shooting an arrow with her bow."

How do bowed instruments make sound?
For the Cello, The friction created between the bow and the string allows for the vibrations to be amplified by the body and therefore become louder or softer depending on the pressure placed on the bow. The fingering also affects the pitch but the bow allows for a continuous and clean note to form.
What do you put on your violin bow?
Rosin is a commonly used material for bows. It is a powdery substance that reduces friction to prevent too much damage to the bow during normal use, but still provides enough friction to produce a sound from the strings.
How is the sound from the violin produced?

What are the uses of resin extracted from coniferous tree?

How does the cello play?
The sound comes from the friction of the bow hair (horse hair) and the string.
How is a violin and friction connected?
When played with a bow, the friction of the bow (horse hair, or a synthetic material, usually rubbed with a sticky resin of some type) being pushed or pulled across the strings causes the string to vibrate, and therefore, for sound to be created.
What is the name of the gum that is rubbed on the bow hairs in a stringed instrument such as a violin or cello?
