How velocity of an object can affect the work done by the object when moving up and inclined?
work = force * distance and force = mass * acceleration and acceleration = change in velosity/change in time so work = mass * acceleration * distance , as a result work = mass * change in velosity/change in time * distance, hence the velocity of the object affected by : 1.mass of the object. 2. gravitational acceleration which reduces the speed of the object when go up and increases the speed of the object when it come down.. 3. look at the rules etc........thx..............with best regards
When you drop a small object is the mass and veloctiy low or high?
Galileo was the first to discover that, when released at the same time, objects with different weights will reach the ground at the same time. This is true because the Earth's gravitation pull is constant. Generally speaking, the velocity of an object will initially be low (zero) and will, given time and distance, increase to reach its terminal velocity. Mass, on the other hand, will remain constant.
What is the equation you use to determine the momentum of a object?
Momentum= Mass X Velocity
Object a has a mass of 100 grams object b has a mass of 150 grams they are both traveling at the same velocity which can you conclude?
You could conclude that object a has less kinetic energy than object b. - Object b has a greater inertia than object A
What is the equation you use to determine the momentum of an object?
momentum is described as mass times velocity. p=mv.
What is the speed of an object that has reached terminal velocity?
The speed at terminal velocity depends on the mass and shape of the object. For example, a sheet of paper will have a very low terminal velocity; the terminal velocity for a man will be much higher.
What is the relationship between mass and a object?
Assuming the only difference is mass and that two objects have the same shape and size, it will take longer for the heavier object to reach terminal velocity than the lighter object. The terminal velocity of the heavier object is greater than that of the lighter object. Since the two objects accelerate at nearly the same rate at slower velocities, the time to reach terminal velocity will increase as weight or mass of the object increases. However I would not expect the increase to be a linear proportion since the drag is proportional to the square of the velocity.
What factors affect terminal velocity?
Factors that affect terminal velocity · Mass An increased mass will increase the terminal velocity and make the falling object reach the ground quicker. · Surface Area If the surface area of an object is increased then its terminal velocity will decrease. This is because it will have larger air resistance acting upwards on the object; therefore the object will travel at a slower rate. · Shape Shape does affect the terminal velocity of a falling object or for example a parachutist; if two people of the same weight but in different body positions (one flat stable and one head down in a dive) are free falling on a skydive, they will fall at different rates . The flat stable diver will travel at a slower rate than the head down diver, and will have a slower terminal velocity. This of course is because of surface area and the air resistance working against area of the object (or sky diver) that is exposed.
The greatest velocity a falling object reaches?
The greatest velocity that a falling object can achieve is termed, terminal velocity. The equation for terminal velocity is equal to the square root of (2mg / (air density * projected area * drag coefficient))
What two factors affect how much an object moves?
By finding its mass and Velocity
Does increasing the mass or velocity have the most affect on an object's kinetic energy?
Generally, the velocity as it is squared, but I suppose if you had some titanic mass moving at a very slow velocity then it could be the mass.
What are factors that affect an object's kinetic energy?
The factors affecting kinetic energy are mass and velocity.
What are the things that affect the motion of an object?
Velocity, mass, forces, acceleration, slope, etc.
What is the maximum terminal velocity speed for a object falling on planet Jupiter?
There is not one single answer for that. The terminal velocity of an object will depend on the amount of gravity (which wouldn't change much in this case), on the density of the atmosphere (which WILL change quite a bit, depending on what part of the atmosphere you are considering), and on the object's mass, size, and shape.
What is the property of an objects mass and velocity?
An object's mass and its velocity define the object's MOMENTUM.
The mass of an object in kilograms times its velocity is?
The mass of a object in kilograms times its velocity is its momentum.
How does mass of an object affect the force it applies during a collision?
The affect of force on the object during collision is described by a quantity called momentum. It is defined as p = mv where = p is momentum, m = mass of the object and v is velocity.
