If final velocity is greater than initial velocity an object is?
Accelerating...or was accelerating.
What happens to the terminal velocity if the weight is greater?
Other things (the volume and shape) being equal, a greater weight would cause a greater terminal velocity.
What is the velocity for a baseball ball rolling on grass?
It depends on the initial velocity, and it also depends on time, because the friction of the grass will slow the baseball down.
Why is it important to add the constant of integration immediately when the integration is performed?
When you do an integration, you are (implicitly or explicitly) recognizing that what you are integrating is a "rate of change". Your integration over a particular interval provides you with the answer to the question "what is the total change over this interval?". To get the total value of this quantity you must add the initial amount or value. That is represented by the constant of integration. When you integrate between specific limits and you are asking the question "how much is the total change" the initial value is not needed, and in fact does not appear when you insert the initial and final values of the variable over which you are integrating. So you must distinguish between finding the total change, or finding the final value. Re-reading this, I could have been a bit clearer. I'll give an example. Suppose something is accelerating at a constant acceleration designated by "a". Between the times t1 and t2 the velocity changes by a(t2-t1) which you get by integrating "a" and applying the limits t2 and t1. But the change in velocity is not the same as the velocity itself, which is equal to the initial velocity, "vo", plus the change in velocity a(t2-t1). This shows that the integral between limits just gives the accumulated change. but if you want the final VALUE, you have to add on the initial value. You might see a statement like "the integral of a with respect to time, when a is constant is vo + at ". You can check this by differentiating with respect to t, and you find the constant vo disappears. In summary, the integral evaluated by simply applying the limits gives the accumulated change, but to get the final value you have to add on the pre-existing value, and in this context the pre-existing value also carries the name of "constant of integration".
Difference between turbulent flow and streamlined flow?
Streamline flow:The flow of a fluid is said to be streamline (also known as steady flow or laminar flow), if every particle of the fluid follows exactly the path of its preceding particle and has the same velocity as that of its preceding particle when crossing a fixed point of reference.Turbulent flow:The flow of a fluid is said to be turbulent or disorderly, if its velocity is greater than its critical velocity. Critical velocity of a fluid is that velocity up to which the fluid flow is streamlined and above which its flow becomes turbulent. When the velocity of a fluid exceeds the critical velocity, the paths and velocities of the fluid particles begin to change continuously and haphazardly. The flow loses all its orderliness and is called turbulent flow.
