What equation is used to caculated the velocity of a falling object?
If the object is falling in vacuum, then its direction is downward, and its speed at any time is Speed = (speed when time started) + [(acceleration of gravity) x (number of seconds since time started)]. If the object is falling through air, water, or some other fluid, then the formula is much, much more complicated. It involves the object's mass and shape, and the properties of the fluid it's falling in.
What are the two characteristics of a free-falling object?
there arent any.
What is the direction of air resistance on a falling object ?
Just like any other source of friction, air resistance effectively results in a force opposite to the object's motion. If the object is falling, then the force is upward.
Free falling object?
Any free falling object accelerates at towards the earth at 10 meters per second squared regardless of volume and mass. This is due to gravity.
What is the effect of gravity on a falling object?
Gravity causes a falling object to accelerate towards the ground at a rate of approximately 9.8 m/s^2 (on Earth). This acceleration due to gravity increases the speed of the object as it falls towards the ground.
What is the kind of friction that slowxs a falling object?
You're fishing for "air resistance" but your description isn't correct. Air resistance doesn't "slow" a falling object. Once the object has built up to some particular speed of fall, air resistance prevents it from falling any faster.
What is a falling object under the influence of only gravity in?
A falling object under the influence of only gravity is in free fall. This means that the object is accelerating downward due to the force of gravity, without any other forces acting upon it.
Is the greatest velocity a falling object reaches is it called momentum?
The greatest velocity a falling object reaches is called the terminal velocity.For an object falling at the terminal velocity, the weight force of the objectis balanced by the drag force and buoyant force on the object.W + FDRAG + FBUOYANT = FNET = 0.0
Greatest velocity a falling object reaches?
On any planet with an atmosphere, gravity is counteracted by the force of air friction with the object that is falling. This is known as terminal velocity - the point at which the forces of air resistance and gravity balance.
What is a freely falling projectile?
A freely falling projectile is an object that is only acted upon by gravity, moving through the air in a parabolic path while falling towards the ground. It does not have any initial horizontal force or acceleration other than gravity acting upon it.
What is the fastest free falling object known to man-is it a rain drop which is liquid or a solid object like a bb?
Everything falls at the same speed so there is no free falling object If everything falls at the same speed then everything is a free falling object... Air resistance or deflection controls the falling speed of any object, this crucial stipulation determines falling speed. I leanred this in flight school.. please someone intelligent communicate with me?
Below is the rule for calculating the velocity of a falling object?
If you can ignore the effects of air resistance, then . . .The speed of a falling object isS = s0 + G TS = speed at any time after it's droppeds0 =initial speed you gave it when you dropped it; if you just openedyour hand and let it roll out, then s0 is zero.G =acceleration of gravity; On Earth: 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second2T =length of time it has been falling.That's the speed of the falling object, also the magnitude of its velocity.The direction of velocity is on a line toward the center of the Earth, typicallyreferred to in most places as "down".
