What else can I help you with?
Why is the terminal velocity in water less than the terminal velocity in air?
More resistance, caused by a greater density.
Why is terminal velocity with a parachute open less than the terminal velocity before it was open?
because there is more air resistance
What is the maximum terminal velocity on planet Jupiter?
There is no such thing as "maximum terminal velocity", neither on Jupiter nor hear on Earth. The "terminal velocity" depends on the specific object - and on the atmospheric conditions. For example, a very heavy object will typically have a larger terminal velocity than one that is very light; and near Earth's surface, the terminal velocity (for a given object) will be smaller than in the upper atmosphere, where there is less air resistance.
How would the terminal velocity of an object falling towards earth differ than the terminal velocity of the same object falling through water?
because water has higher viscosity than air so resisting the movement of the body in it more than air so decreasing the velocity
When an object is released in a fluid is the drag force less than its weight before it reaches terminal velocity?
Yes, when an object is released in a fluid and starts falling, the drag force is initially less than its weight. As the object accelerates, the drag force increases until it equals the weight of the object, at which point the object reaches terminal velocity.
Will a man in a parachute when the air resistance is less than his weight accelerate?
Yes, until he reaches terminal velocity.
Which is greater - the terminal velocity of a small blood droplet or the terminal velocity of a large blood droplet?
The terminal velocity of a large blood droplet is greater than the terminal velocity of a small blood droplet. This is because larger droplets have more mass, which increases their gravitational force and air resistance, allowing them to fall faster until they reach a balanced terminal velocity.
Is there a sonic boom during fall?
Usually not. Most objects have a terminal velocity that is considerably less than the speed of sound.
Why would the terminal velocity of a 1g pellet be higher than that of a 1g piece of paper?
The terminal velocity of an object depends on its size, shape, and mass. A 1g pellet would have a higher terminal velocity than a 1g piece of paper because the pellet is denser and offers less air resistance due to its smaller surface area-to-mass ratio. This allows the pellet to fall faster and reach its terminal velocity sooner than the piece of paper.
What does high velocity blood spatter means in a crime scene?
High Velocity is short for "high terminal velocity" which is another way of saying that the blood spatter is small and is so small, in fact, it is the smallest of other velocities: • Low terminal velocity • Medium terminal velocity The high velocity pattern is usually less than one millimeter in diameter and is known to fall up to around 100 feet per second.
Is terminal velocity the same speed for any weight?
Terminal velocity for a feather will be considerably lower than the terminal velocity of a bullet. The size and shape of the object will play an important role. While objects dropped from a given height in a vacuum will fall to earth at the same velocity, the resistance caused by atmosphere will be different for different objects.
How will an object size and mass affect its terminal velocity?
The terminal velocity of a falling object depends upon its aerodynamics (which is to say, its shape) rather than its size and mass.
