The terminal velocity of a falling object depends upon its aerodynamics (which is to say, its shape) rather than its size and mass.

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.
